Through 10 games she is averaging 13.4 points per game, which leads the team and ranks 12th in the Mountain West.
ALBRIGHT RETURNS FOR NINTH SEASON

Last season with a 70-64 road victory at San Diego State, Albright earned career win No. 500. She has 506 career wins and 109 wins in nine seasons at Nevada. She ranks in the top 35 among active Division I women's coaches in wins.

Cephas started the season with a double-double and got her second during the win over Holy Names where she grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds.
POINTS, POINTS, POINTS
Nevada's offense posted 99 points during its road win over Sacramento State. That is the most points in a single game by the Wolf Pack since it scored 99 against San Jose State on Feb. 19, 2014. Nevada has scored 70 points or more in four of eight games so far this season. Nevada's 70.3 points per game average through 10 games is fourth in the Mountain West behind Boise State (76.4), New Mexico (70.4) and UNLV (70.3).
HOLY SCHMID
Senior Stephanie Schmid had been on fire in her last five games, however her hot streak came to an end against UC Irvine where she scored just five points. To that point Schmid was averaging 18.8 points per game and shooting well above 50 percent. She had scored in double figures in those five games as well. At Sacramento State Schmid posted a career-high 32 points on 12-of-19 shooting, which included five three-pointers. The Illinois native scored 14 of her 32 points in the first quarter alone and had 21 points by halftime, which allowed her to best her previous career-high of 25. Schmid's 32 points were the most by a Wolf Pack player sine Tahnee Robinson scored 32 against Louisiana Tech in February of 2011.
FREE THROWS FOR T Moe
Junior guard T Moe has always been one of Nevada's most consistent shooters from the free throw line and this season is no different. Moe's 42 made free throws through 10 games is 42nd in the nation and second in the Mountain West. She has missed just four foul shots total, giving her 46 attempts on the young season, which ranks third in the Mountain West. Moe is shooting 91.3 percent from the line, ranking her just outside the top 20 in the country.
