Harkins, a 5-foot-10 freshman forward from Canal Fulton, Ohio, scored a career-high 27 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and blocked two shots as the Lady Cougars rallied from a nine-point second-half deficit and a four-point overtime deficit for a 66-64 overtime win over Notre Dame College, who was undefeated in American Mideast Conference action entering the game. The former Northwest High School standout hit the tying free throw with 30 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime. Then, she completed a three-point play with eight seconds left in overtime for the final three points of the game. She was 7-for-15 from the field, 2-for-3 from three-point range, and 11-for-14 at the free throw line.

On the season, Harkins is averaging 12.4 points and 7.3 rebounds as she has started all 21 games for MVNU in her first collegiate season. She is shooting 40.9 percent from the field (97-for-237), 31.1 percent from three-point range (19-for-61), and 75.8 percent from the free throw line (47-for-62). She has also recorded 30 assists, a team-best 19 blocked shots, and 33 steals.

The Lady Cougars are currently 15-6 overall and 3-5 in the AMC. MVNU will return to action on Thursday night with a non-conference game at NAIA Division II No. 18 Cedarville University that will tip off at 5:30 p.m.
