In the Huskies first three wins, Charles averaged 19.7 points and 11 rebounds a game while shooting 56.1% from the floor.
Charles opened up the season with a 26 point, 13 rebound effort in the Huskies 70 point win over Northeastern. In a nationally televised tilt against the Texas Longhorns, Charles had her second straight double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. She narrowly missed her third straight double-digit effort with 18 points and 9 rebounds in the win over Holy Cross.
The Huskies return to action on Friday when they’ll host the Hofstra Pride in the WBCA Classic at Gampel Pavilion.
