She consistently stuffs the stat sheet and has recorded four games this season with at least 9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. At Lafayette, Citron had 10 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals. She is the only women’s college basketball player this season to post that stat line or better.
