SFA vs. OPSU
Wednesday, Nov. 16th.
NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Stephen F. Austin trailed by a mere six points in their season opener last weekend against the University of South Dakota. Redshirt junior Stevi Parker led the Ladyjacks with 19 points, four rebounds, and was nine for nine at the line. Junior transfer Taylor Jackson followed behind with 17 points. Senior Adrienne Lewis led the team in rebounds, grabbing six from the boards. Freshman Riley Harvey had a terrific breakout game collecting 10 points and five rebounds.
The Ladyjacks and the Oklahoma Panhandle Aggies have not played against one another yet in program history, so this will be a new challenge for both teams.
Scouting Oklahoma Panhandle: The Aggies have lost both their games this season against Western New Mexico and New Mexico Highlands. Both games were over 60 point games, allowing four different Aggies to achieve 20 points on their season record. Darby Price leads the team with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and shooting .800 from the line. Hannah Whitaker is the post to look out for with 14 rebounds (seven in each game).
After Wednesday night, the Ladyjacks will go on a long road trip over Thanksgiving break. They will make stops in College Station, Texas; Fairfax, Va.; and Baltimore, Md. SFA will face No. 24 Texas A&M on Sunday, Nov. 20th at 4:00 p.m. CT. The game will be live streamed on the SEC+ Network.
