Salmon, the national leader in assists per game, averaged 12 points and 9.7 assists per contest while sporting a 2.7 assist-to-turnover ratio in a three-game week for the Bearcats. She poured in a season-best 24 points, dished out 10 assists and pulled down seven rebounds at Richard Stockton (Jan. 17), before swiping a week-high three steals at City Tech (Jan. 19) in limited action. Salmon, the 2010-11 CUNYAC/Con Edison Preseason Player of the Year, saved arguably her best performance of the week for the biggest contest, as she tied a season- and conference-high with 14 assists (against just two turnovers) in the Friday night battle for the top record in the CUNYAC against Brooklyn (Jan. 21).
