Papanastasiou-Thomas carried the ball up the court before flinging a cross court pass to Emma Haan. The junior immediately launched a 3-pointer and it fell through the net. Haan had been known to be a sharp 3-point shooter, but had not always shown it until Thursday, Nov. 5. Against Quinnipiac, Haan had a career game, scoring 23 points with six made triples. "This year I'm trying to make up for the scoring we lost," Haan said. "Now I'm a junior, so ready to knock down my shots."

Vermont set a program record in made 3-pointers in its season-opening rout of Keene State, with 16 .
