The former two-time Winchester Star Player of the Year is also second on the squad in rebounds (4.4 rpg), steals (23) and assists (tied at 40) and is tied for third in blocks (8).

Firebaugh scored a season-high 25 points in a 76-67 win against the University of North Florida on Nov. 18 in a game played in Dublin, Ireland. She made 6 of 10 3-point attempts in the contest.

Prior to this season, Firebaugh had averaged 11.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. The Broncs next play at Marist on Thursday.
