In 14 league West Coast Conference contests, Ale recorded double-digits in all but two games, including two tilts with 17 points. She also led the USF scoring efforts in all but one game, while appearing in the box score as the top-rebounding force twice.

For the entire 2009-10 season, Ale averaged a team-leading 13.2 points and 4.4 rebounds. She dished out 74 assists, while pacing the Dons with 32 steals. the team co-captain ranked in the top-20 in the conference in all games in seven categories – scoring (11th/13.2), rebounding (20th/4.4), free throw percentage (3rd/.841), three point field goal percentage (6th/.365), three point field goals made (5th/1.9), defensive rebounds (13th/3.3) and minutes played (3.3).
