Kaylor equaled a season high with 23 points against GSU and added five rebounds, one steal, one block and an assist. She connected on 9-of-13 shots from the field. Kaylor followed up that performance with a game-high 18 points to go with eight boards, four steals and a block versus ODU.

One of the CAA’s top players, Kaylor continues to lead the Tribe and rank among the league’s best with 15.1 ppg and 8.5 rpg.

The Tribe will return to action when it plays at George Mason on Thursday at 7 p.m.
