LAST TIME OUT
BERKELEY, Calif. - The University of Nevada women's

basketball team fell by the final score of 76-54 Tuesday night to the 14th-ranked team in the country, the Cal Golden Bears.

The Golden Bears (2-0) registered two scorers in double figures during the first 20 minutes of play as Reshanda Gray picked up 11 points and Mikayla Cowling finished the half with 10. The Wolf Pack (1-1) had a scorer of its own reach double

figures as current Mountain West Player of the Week T Moe tallied 10 in the first half.

Nevada hung right with the No. 14 team in the country for a majority of the first half. In the early goings of the game,

junior Nyasha LeSure heaved up a desperation three-point shot with the shot clock waning that tied the score at 5-5,

LeSure's first collegiate three-point shot and make.

The Pack was able to keep it to a four-point deficit until the Golden Bears went on a seven-point run near the nine minute mark of the first half to extend their lead to 11. Turnovers

ultimately hurt the Pack, committing 13 in the opening half that allowed Cal to take a 14-point lead into halftime.

Cal continued its stifling defense in the second half, holding the Pack to just four points in the first eight minutes.

Nevada picked up its offense, however, and duplicated its first half score of 27. For the game, the Golden Bears held the Pack to just over 31 percent shooting and hit just under 50 percent of their own shots. The big stat of the night for Cal was its 7-of-13 shooting from beyond the arc, totaling 21 of the Golden Bears' 76 points.

Moe led the Pack in scoring tallying 22 points on the night, falling one point shy of tying her career high. Mimi Mungedi also reached double figures in the game as she scored 11 points and was two rebounds shy of a double-double.

HISTORICAL TEAM INFORMATION

The University of Nevada women's basketball program began in the year 1899, when the team, coached by Ada Edwards, earned its first win over a varsity opponent, Stanford. Since its inception in 1899, records of the program's history have not accurately been kept up to date. For the purposes of all records, wins and losses and other statistical information related to the Nevada women's basketball program, the 1981-82 season will be considered the first for the program, the first year women's basketball was recognized by the NCAA.

WOLF PACK ORIGIN

In the 1921-22 athletic season, a local writer described the spirited play of a Nevada team as a 'pack of wolves'. The name stuck and soon almost every reference to the athletic teams was the Nevada Wolves. In 1923, the students officially designated 'Wolves' as the school's mascot.

Since all teams are a group of players, the word pack followed quickly. In 1928-29, the Nevada student handbook referred to the athletic teams as Wolf Pack and two school songs were adopted, entitled 'The Wolf Pack' and 'Here Comes the Wolf Pack'.
