Four players were in double figures for the Titans including Nicole Urbanick (16 points), Haleigh Ristovski (11 points) and Brittney Jackson (career-best 10 points). Reynolds and Ristovski each notched double-doubles in the same game for the second time this season.

Detroit shot 55.1 percent in the first half to jump out to a 41-32 lead at the break. The Titans finished the game with a 48.3 shooting percentage, while forcing Cincinnati into 16 turnovers.

In the past three games, the Titans are averaging 76.6 points per contest. Detroit has also shot the ball well in its past two games, going 59-of-119 from the field for a 49.5 percentage.

All-Time Series
This is the first regular season meeting between the two schools. Detroit defeated Salem International, 85-61, in an exhibition game during the 2014-15 season on Nov. 8, 2014. It was the first game of the 2014-15 season for the Titans.

Reynolds sank three triples and made all seven shots at the free throw line in the win. Haleigh Ristovski pulled down 15 rebounds and dished out four assists in the exhibition win. Detroit shot 42.0 percent from the field and went 20-of-25 from the free throw line (80.0 percent).

Countdown to 1,000
Redshirt-junior guard Rosanna Reynolds is nearing the 1,000-point plateau. She leads the Titans with 110 points this season and is 132 points away from the 1,000-point milestone for her Titan career. Reynolds surpassed the 800-point plateau mark during the Titans' game against No. 8-ranked Maryland.

She would become the 20th player in Detroit women's basketball history to surpass the mark and first since Senee Shearer during the 2013-14 season. Reynolds has led the Titans in scoring in five of six games this year. Reynolds is also just four 3-pointers away from 100 for her career. She ranks 12th all-time with 96 made triples.

Haleigh Ristovski and Urbanick have each made 13 triples so far in the 2015-16 season at an average of 2.2 per game, which is tied for eighth in the league. Ristovski is tied for second in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.6), a stat she led the Horizon League in last season. Ristovski is sixth in rebounding (9.3 rpg), first in total defensive rebounds (51) first in minutes played (235) and first in minutes played per game (39.2).

Three's Company
The Titans had four players reach 40 or more 3-pointers made during the 2014-15 season. Three of those players are back this year -- Reynolds (59 triples), Ristovski (51) and Urbanick (40). The trio combined for 150 of the 221 triples Detroit made a season ago.

Urbanick (13), Ristovski (13) and Reynolds (10) have already combined for 36 three-pointers through six games this season. Reynolds moved into 12th all-time in triples against Niagara and has 96 makes from downtown in her Titan career. Ristovski is 16th all-time with 84 triples, while Urbanick is quickly approaching the top 20 in career 3-pointers with 53 triples in 32 games.

As a team, Detroit ranks fifth in the conference in 3-pointers made per game (7.8). The Titans trail Oakland (9.8), Green Bay (8.4) and Cleveland State (8.2), NKU (7.9) and have sank 47 triples in six games this season.
