Mason over Davison
46-24 at the half
Davidson seems to be taller at ever position but they have been unable to exploit that height advantage

"Walton's honor marks the fourth-straight and fifth overall Rookie of the Week honor for the Patriots this season, as she earned it on Dec. 26 and Kennedy Harris has earned it three times, including the last two weeks.

Walton contributed across the board in the Patriots' 1-0 week as Mason downed Davidson in dominating fashion, 79-41, at home on Wednesday. The sophomore rookie tallied 12 points on 5-7 shooting from the field and 4-4 tallied from the free throw line. The forward from Seattle, Wash. also added four rebounds, two steals and a career-high two blocks."
