Single Game/Season Stats of Note

- Three years into EST, and on the 8:30 set of playoff night, the league had its first triple-double. Grace Heeps, who had been close a couple other times this summer, went for 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in a consolation game victory.

- Believe it or not, it took until the 3rd year of EST for someone to have a 20 point/10 rebound game. We saw two in the league's final three nights this summer. Stephanie Jankovic & Chloe Chaffin both went for 21 points & 10 rebounds in games; Steph doing it in a July 31 victory, and Chloe doing it in the championship victory over Steph's NBT team.

- Logan Thayne had as good of a summer as anyone could imagine for the Next Big Thing squad. Her & post mate Julie Ford (who will be mentioned soon after) controlled the blocks throughout the year. Thayne, just a rising sophomore, had a summer milestone of her own. Compiling averages of 10.2 PPG and 10.1 RPG without missing a week of official games, Logan was the first person in the EST summer league to ever average a double-double over an entire season. The aforementioned Ford was just off that mark as well, averaging 12 PPG and 9.5 RPG.

- Chloe Chaffin, the league's all-time leader in points scored and games played, added 'single season scoring' to her list of EST records. Her 180 points this season topped the mark previously held by Danielle Migliore. Starting in 2018, Chaffin & Migliore will see each other on the court as conference foes - Chaffin at Fordham, Migliore at St. Bonaventure.

- With all of the high-level talent in EST in the 2018 & 2019 classes, it will take many by surprise that a rising freshman found a way to get the league scoring title, but Aysia Pink did it with consistency. She shot a remarkable 53.5% from the field, 47.1% from behind the arc, and 73.7% from the line. Besides a 23 point outburst on playoff night, her scoring was mainly in the teens. She became the first person in three years of EST to finish with double digit points in every game played for a season.

- I always like to comb over the final compiled stats for any oddities or interesting tidbits. One of them, because I noticed the rarity of it in the past, is to see how many players fill the stat line to the point that they average 1 or more of each of the 5 main statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks) per game. In two previous years, Lucy Tougas was the only one to do it. This year, there were numerous players who pulled it off. They were:
  • Kelsey Wood (6.6 PPG, 8 RPG, 1 APG, 1.2 SPG, 1 BPG)
  • Jenna Zimmerman (6 PPG, 5 RPG, 1.4 APG, 1 SPG, 2.8 BPG)
  • Harmony Philo (6.8 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 1.3 APG, 1.2 SPG, 1 BPG)
  • Giuliana Pritchard (5.3 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.5 SPG, 1.1 BPG)
- The three is becoming more and more of a staple in the game, even by the year, and the trend is no different in EST. The summer of 2017 saw a new league mark being hit, as 462 threes were made throughout the course of the league games. This blew past last year's mark of 416 with the same amount of teams (and even more recorded games, as I didn't do stats for July 12 games this year). In 2015, with three fewer teams (thus fewer games), 230 threes were made.

- Scoring as a whole was also up. Next Big Thing's 59 PPG as a team shattered the previous league record. Rising Stars wasn't that far behind, racking up an average of 54.6 PPG. Next Level & Outwork were also in the lower 50s, meaning that half of the league's teams averaged well over 50 PPG. This is the first time that's happened. Young Guns were just off the mark, averaging a fraction over 49 per game. That number was boosted by a scoring outburst starting in the later stages of July, where they averaged nearly 60 PPG for the last four nights.
