Kaniut came off the bench to average 17.0 points and 2.0 steals in contests at Chicago and No. 10-ranked Washington University, ending the weekend shooting 66.7 percent from the floor, including 75 percent (3 of 4) from three-point range. 

In a six-point setback vs. Chicago, Kaniut was second on the team in scoring with 14 points, sinking six-of-11 field goal attempts and a pair of free throws.  She also grabbed three rebounds and recorded a pair of steals.  In a 75-68 loss to  Washington University, she topped the Eagles' scoring list with a season-high 20 points, converting eight-of-10 floor attempts, including three treys in four opportunities.  It represented her fourth straight and eighth double-figure scoring effort of the season.
