She started the week with 20 points in an important win over SUNY Cortland Tuesday where she shot 7-of-12 from the field and hit a huge 3-pointer later that got her team back in the game to eventual secure the, 74-68 win in overtime, while also adding a team-high five steals in the game. Against Plattsburgh, the senior totaled game-high's in points (15), rebounds (7) and field goals made (6), while shooting an efficient 6-for-11 from the field and adding three assists and three steals in just 26 minutes to lead her team to a 73-45 victory over the Cardinals. Van Pelt concluded the weekend with another impressive performance, needing just 18 minutes to score 19 points, while shooting 50 percent from the field, including 3-for-4 from 3-point range. She also pulled down four rebounds and added a team-high four assists and two steals in a dominating, 78-55 win to end the regular season. The victory also officially made Van Pelt and her fellow seniors (Marion Dietz, Paige Niemeyer and Philesha Teape) the program's all-time win leaders, notching 84 career wins.
