Extra, Extra! Philly.com.

Dutch senior Chatilla van Grinsven leads the way for the Hawks, pulling down 10.5 rebounds and putting up 15.1 points per game. Three-point shooting junior Erin Shields is almost exclusively an outside threat- but at 37.6% from beyond the arc and 11.8 points per game, she's a dangerous one. I find the balance of shot attempts fascinating- it suggests an offense that finds the open man frequently.
