SEATTLE, WA - The Stephen F. Austin women's basketball program rounds out their west coast road trip with a match against Seattle University. The Ladyjacks are looking to start a new winning streak and get back on top of the WAC standings.
Ladyjacks Statistical Analysis
The Ladyjacks climb back up to fourth in the conference standings after the win against the Lancers and have a chance to get back to the lead with a win and some help along the way.
Aiyana Johnson continues to lead the way for the Ladyjacks offensively, scoring 13.1 points per game. Johnson is top three in the team in rebounds and assists, and makes approximately half of her shots with a 50.3% field goal percentage. She also plays a big role on defense, leading the team with 21 blocks.
Kurstyn Harden is a force to be reckoned with in the paint for opponents as she leads the Ladyjacks with a 63.5% field goal percentage. Harden averages 10.3 points per game and ranks second best on the team when it comes to rebounds (95) and blocks (12). She's one of the most dangerous players to come off the SFA bench.
Jordan Harrison and Destini Lombard both remain threats when they're open beyond the arc, both having a three-point percentage above 40%. Whenever they have the ball open from deep, expect three points to get put on the board for the 'Jacks.
A Look at the Redhawks
Seattle has been struggling to find their groove this season as they currently have a 1-13 overall record and a 1-3 record in the WAC. Their first win came recently against UTRGV in their second conference match. The Redhawks also have yet to find a win in their home court in six matches.
Peyton Howard leads the way for the Redhawks averaging 10.8 points per game with a 37.7% field goal percentage. Howard also leads the team with 64 rebounds, 43 assists, and 25 steals.
Julianna Walker is the one to watch from the three-point line as she leads the team with a 42.2% three-point percentage, making 27 buckets on 64 attempts.
