Fellow Business Administration major Hannah Rapp made the list with a 3.64 GPA and has made the biggest jump on the court of the three players. She has scored in double digits in eight games this season, along with two games of nine points. The sophomore has three games of double-digit rebounds with two games of nine boards, and is second on the team in rebounds and assists.
