Flooks' career-high day helped push Niagara to a 71-60 win over the Akron Zips on Sunday. Flooks scored a career-high 27 points on 11-for-14 shooting and 5-for-6 from behind the arc. The 11 field goals and five 3-pointers were also career-highs. Her 27 points led the game and was a season-high for any NU player. Flooks, who entered the game second in the MAAC in 3-point percentage, improved her 46.2 percentage with an 83.3 percent effort. Her ability to score in a variety of ways - off the bounce, pull up three - kept Akron on its heels.
