SEEING DOUBLE
Sophomore forward Terae Briggs posted her second double-double of the season in the Pack's win over Memphis. Briggs finished the game with a season-high 13 points and 11 rebounds to record the feat. She is the only Nevada player with two double-doubles this season (first was against Portland). She nearly captured her third when she finished with eight points and nine rebounds in the last game against UC Irvine.
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 72.4 points per game average through eight games is in the top 75 in the nation and is second in the Mountain West behind Boise State (77.8).
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.
