She came off the bench to help her team defeat Ole Miss, 78-75 in overtime, and Southeast Missouri State, 100-59. Johnson was second on the team in points and rebounds in both games. She finished the week averaging 14.5 points and six rebounds. She shot a near perfect 12-of-14 from the free throw line, while going 3-for-6 from three-point range. The Chippewas were able to push their win streak to three last week following the two road wins. In the win against the Redhawks they posted 100 points, the 14th time in school history.
