Senior guard Chellia Watson continues to be a force with which to be reckoned as she averaged a double-double with 24.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game while shooting 48 percent from the floor to lead UB to a pair of victories on the week. 

On Wednesday, Watson flirted with a triple double as she scored a game-high 27 points to go with nine rebounds and seven assists to lead the Bulls to a road win at Ohio. She followed that up with another solid performance on Saturday, recording her second career double-double with a game-high 21 points and career-best 12 rebounds to lead UB to a double-digit win over Eastern Michigan.

Watson has now scored in double figures in 19 of 20 games, including 15 20+ point performances, two 30-point efforts and a 40 point performance. She leads the MAC and ranks in the top five in the nation in scoring (24.9 ppg), total points (497), field goals (198) and field goals made per game (9.9) while also leading the team in assists (65). 

She has taken her game to another level in MAC play as she is averaging 28.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting nearly 46% from the floor in league contests.
