Salote had 15 points and 15 rebounds in the win against Salem CC on Saturday, leading the sophomore class on Sophomore Day in the 72-56 win at home for the Falcons. Franklin was one of five sophomores who scored in double-figures, and one of eight sophomores honored on the day. Salote has 16 double-doubles this season, including ten of her last eleven games. Franklin is averaging 16.9 points per game, tops on the team, and leads the Falcons at 13.1 rebounds per game, first in Region XIX DII.
