SCOUTING DOWLING (10-2/4-0 ECC)
The Golden Lions continued receiving plenty of votes in the USA Today Top 25 Coaches' Poll. In this week's voting, the Golden Lions are just the fourth team out of the Top 25 rankings.
Leading Dowling on offense is senior forward Danielle Wilson. The talented forward is averaging 17.4 points per game, which puts her at third-best in the ECC this season. Connie Simmons, a senior guard, is nearly in double-figures with 9.8 points per game.
