NACOGDOCHES, Texas. - The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks Basketball Team (8-5, 2-0), will re-open conference play as they get set to carry their two-game winning streak into a home conference matchup against the UTRGV Vaqueros (1-10, 0-2).
Ladyjacks at a Glance:
SFA will conclude their short two-game home stand looking to extend their two-game win streak and build off a dominating 111-38 win over UNT-Dallas on Saturday. In the game against the Trailblazers, SFA led UNT-Dallas in rebounds (58-29), assists (29-6), bench points (34-18), fast break points (20-7), steals (16-7), points off turnovers (42-5), points in the paint (50-24), and second chance points (25-2). Their win over the Trailblazers marked the second time this season the Ladyjacks have surpassed the century mark in point total, while draining their second highest three-point total of the season at 12.
Four Ladyjacks finished with double-doubles against the Trailblazers as plenty of players got into the scoring madness. Tyler McCliment-Call recorded her best game of the season as she was a dominating force on both ends of the court on Saturday. McCliment-Call led all Ladyjacks in scoring with 19 points and completed the double-double by hauling down 12 rebounds, finished second on the team in assists with six, and led the team with four steals. Trinity Moore was the second 'Jack to finish with a double-double as she had a solid 17-points while pulling down 11-rebounds in the win. Kurstyn Harden continues her dominant season as she recorded her third double-double of the season with her 16-point, 10-rebound effort against the Trailblazers. Lydia Cooke-Wiggins was the fourth SFA player to finish with a double-double as she played selfless basketball against the Trailblazers by leading the team with 11 assists, while tacking on 10-points to complete her first double-double of her collegiate career. Destini Lombard continues to provide unparalleled consistency for the Ladyjacks as she stuffed the stat sheet once again for SFA. Lombard finished second on the team in scoring with 18 points, while dishing out five assists, and recorded three steals, while also leading the team with four three-pointers. Lombard achieved the 100-career steal milestone against the Trailblazers thanks to her three steals.
The Ladyjack offense and defense was on full display against UNT-Dallas as they posted strong performances on both ends of the court. The Ladyjack offense shot over 52% from the field for the game, while shooting over 38% from downtown in route to 12 three-pointers. The Ladyjack offense also recorded their highest single-game assist total as they finished with 29 assists, which surpassed the previous 24 assists they had as a team against Oklahoma Panhandle to kick-off the season. To cap off their offensive performance, the Ladyjacks finished with 50 points in the paint, which was their third straight game with 35+ points down low. Perhaps more impressive than the offensive showcase, was the defensive showing by the Ladyjacks. The Ladyjacks recorded a season-high 58 rebounds against the Trailblazers, while recording 16 steals and four blocks to finish with 20 turnovers forced. Those 20 turnovers turned into an impressive 42 points off turnovers, while the 21 offensive rebounds SFA had turned into 25 second chance points for them.
As a team, SFA ranks 20th in the nation in steals per game as they currently average a healthy 11.8 steals/game.
Vaqueros at a Glance:
The UTRGV Vaqueros hit the road looking to build off their most recent game in which they claimed a 66-58 road win over Sam Houston, which marked the Vaqueros first win of the season. While the Vaqueros might have just won their first game of the season, their non-conference schedule was a gauntlet as the Vaqueros squared off against a list of schools that included Texas Tech, no.5 ranked Texas, and Texas State. In the win over Sam Houston, UTRGV led the Bearkats in assists (19-6), steals (10-4), three-pointers (7-3), points in the paint (32-26), points off turnovers (23-12), fast break points (11-3), and bench points (20-13).
Iyana Dorsey is the leader of the Vaqueros offense as she leads the team averaging 16.1 points/game, while ranking second on the team in three-pointers with 15, is tied for the team lead in assists with 30 and has been a consistent threat from the charity stripe as she leads the team with 72 free-throws made on the season. On top of her offensive statistics, Dorsey also leads the team with 18 steals cementing her status as the team MVP. Kade Hackerott has formed a dynamic second player for the Vaqueros offense as she currently averages 10.8 points/game while also leading the team by averaging an impressive 8.7 rebounds/game and is tied with Dorsey for the team lead in assists with 30. Charlotte O'Keefe has been a constant nuisance for opposing team's offenses as she leads the Vaqueros defense with 13 blocks on the season while ranking second on the team in steals with 13.
Series: This will be the 13th meeting between these two schools as these two teams have gone back-and-forth on wins and losses recently. The last four games each school has won two and lost two, with each team having one home win and one away win during that stretch.
