The William & Mary women’s basketball team returns home on Friday, Jan. 22 to face CAA opponent University of North Carolina-Wilmington, and is looking to snap a three-game losing streak. The Tribe is 11-5, with a 2-3 record in CAA play. They face a Seahawks team that is 5-11 overall and 1-4 in the league.

Junior Alexandra Masaquel continues to play a big role for the Tribe this season. The forward won her first CAA weekly award recently, earning Player of the Week honors for the week of Jan. 4. In a win over two-time defending conference champion James Madison, she recorded her fourth double-double of the season scoring 14 points, a season-high 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and a season-high five steals.

In the winter 2016 issue of the W&M Alumni Magazine, Masaquel talks naps, life in Hawaii and her hopes for the season.
