Hightower also led the league in steals at 2.4 per contest, and was named A-10 Player of the Week twice.
Her senior season saw her again earn First Team honors from both the Atlantic 10 and Big 5, as she averaged 17.9 points per outing while adding 6.5 rebounds per game. She led the Explorers in scoring 19 times, including a pair of 30-point efforts against Drexel and Fordham.
