Maynard’s defensive presence also stands out when on the court, leading the team in total steals with 30. 
• Keni Williams has had an increased offensive responsibility as a reserve for the Warriors. Averaging 9.8 PPG and 3.5 APG, Williams has been a spark plug off the bench all season whose role expanded since the Warriors opened up divisional play.

• Terrell Pitts, who was named PSAC East Defensive Player of the Year earlier in the season, has been a great two-way rotational piece for the Warriors.

• ESU is ranked second nationally in bench points at 46.4 PPG in 19 games. The Warriors have a very balanced offense, as four of their top-six leading scorers are part of the second unit. That secondary production helps fuel ESU’s scoring offense, which is second in the PSAC and 14th nationally, averaging 89.1 PPG.
• The Warriors have played at a high level defensively, with a noticeable turnaround in production in their last eight games since defeating Slippery Rock. During that stretch, ESU has held opponents to just 72.5 PPG, which would rank as the second-best scoring defense in the conference.
