Northwestern Notes
RARE COMPANY
Northwestern senior forward Nia Coffey became the 18th student from a Big Ten school (and the first Wildcat) to collect 1,000 career rebounds following her 14-rebound night on Monday at Gonzaga. Coffey currently has 1,913 points and 1,003 rebounds in her Northwestern career, needing 87 points to be the fifth Big Ten student to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, joining an elite group that includes Illinois' Jenna Smith (2007-10), Minnesota's Laura Coenen (1982-85), and Ohio State's Jessica Davenport (2004-07) and Jantel Lavender (2008-11).
BLOCK PARTY
Northwestern ranks ninth in the country and first in the Big Ten in blocks per game with 6.5. The Wildcats have registered double-digit blocks twice and have had six or more on eight different occasions. Nia Coffey and Lauren Douglas are tied with a team-high 18 on the year, and 13 Wildcats have registered at least one block.
GRAND THEFT ASHLEY
Ashley Deary, who owns the top three NU single-season steals records, career record and Big Ten single season record, is just 10 steals shy of breaking the Big Ten career record of 372. She is also the nation's current active career steals leader with 363 and leads the category by 59.
