In their next game on Dec. 16, the women defeated Raritan Valley Community College, as Burnette extended her offensive streak with 31 points in a 71-56 victory.

After a tough loss to close out December, the team regained momentum in the new year. On Jan. 6, Talaney Pierce delivered a standout performance against Howard Community College, recording 18 points and 16 rebounds for her sixth double-double of the season.
