Cahill scored a career-high 28 points at New Orleans on Jan. 19, leading the Tigers to a 71-61 victory. She topped that performance with 30 points in a come-from-behind win at Centenary on Jan. 21. Cahill led the team in scoring for the third consecutive game on Dec. 28 when she posted 15 second-half points en route to an 18-point performance in Princeton's 63-55 loss to Manhattan.
