Macaulay averaged 22.5 points and 9.0 rebounds in a 2-0 week for Temple, including wins over Western Michigan (68-41) and at defending A-10 regular season champs St. Bonaventure (67-59).

She hit 9-of-10 (.900) at the line, tallied three assists and two blocks in leading the Owls to victory in their A-10 opener.
Earlier in the week, Macaulay scored a game-high 22 points on 11-of-19 (.579) shooting over Western Michigan. On the week, she shot 52.9 percent (18-34) from the field and 90 percent (9-10) at the line, while adding five blocks. For her efforts, Macaulay was also named the Philadelphia Big 5 Co-Player of the Week and the Under Armour OwlSports.com Athlete of the Week.

Converting 10-of-17 (.588) attempts from the floor, and adding four free throws, van Grinsven matched her second-most points in a game for her career, while her 18 rebounds tied for eighth most in a single game at SJU. Additionally, the starting forward had a team-best three steals and added an assist and blocked shot in 29 minutes of action.
