Against LaSalle, Dupree earned her seventh double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds and five steals and two blocks to lead Temple over LaSalle and gain a share of the Big 5 crown. Against Fordham, the junior had game highs of four steals and four blocks to go along with her 14 points and nine rebounds.
