Against McNeese, Francois had her seventh game of at least 20 points when she went for 24. The senior center also hauled in nine boards. Francois was especially proficient at the free throw line, making 13-of-14 attempts. The 13 makes tied for fifth most in program history.
She also had a double-double against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (16 points and 11 rebounds). Against UTRGV, Francois scored 16 points and went 6-of-9 from the field.
