Veteran Status
Dylan Horton is having quite a fantastic debut season at FAMU. The Los Angeles native transferred into the program ahead of the 2021-22 season and has already doubled her point total from her first two seasons at Virginia combined. She currently leads the Rattlers with 13.4 PPG (ranking eighth in the Southwestern Athletic Conference) and has finished in double-figures five games this season, crowned by a career-high 19 points at Memphis (Nov. 20).

Few Calls
As a team, FAMU has committed the second-fewest personal fouls (111) in the Southwestern Athletic Conference this season, and the tally ranks 27th in the country.

Tale of Two Halves
The Rattlers have been outscored, 271-137, in the first half but close the gap to 249-193 in the second. They are most productive in the third quarter, where they total 103 points. The opening quarter captures their lowest production at 64.

The Rebounder
One game. 15 rebounds. Staysha Allen left her mark in the Rattlers' season-opener for a game-high, career-high 15 boards at Troy (Nov. 11). The tally sits second in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) this season. She also grabbed 14 boards versus Texas A&M International (Dec. 11), which ties for third-most.

The junior forward averaged 2.9 rebounds during the entire 2019-20 season. Allen manages a team-best 5.9 this year.
