Cahill averaged 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in a 1-1 week for Saint Joseph's. The second-year starter netted 18 points in both of the Monks' contests while shooting 53.3% (16-30) from the floor in the two conference contests.

Cahill, the 2013 GNAC and MWBCA Rookie of the Year, also collected Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) weekly honor roll mention for her play during the two games.
