HOLY SCHMID
Nevada's lone senior, Stephanie Schmid, had one heck of a fourth quarter in the win over San Diego State. Schmid scored 23 of her 29 points in the final 10 minutes, outscoring the entire Aztecs team in that period. The Illinois native hit 9-of-12 from the field, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. Schmid also was a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line. She has only missed one free throw in Mountain West play, going 23-of-24 from the charity stripe. Additionally her 42.7 percent success rate from three-point range is 21st-best nationally.

Schmid on the other hand has made 113 three-pointers in her short time with the Wolf Pack, which breaks her into the top 10. Schmid needs two more to pass Kelli Dufficy for ninth.
BLOCK PARTY
Sophomore AJ Cephas has established herself as one of the top shot blockers in the Mountain West. Nevada as a team is also one of the shot blocking teams in the league. The Wolf Pack ranks 50th in the nation with 4.8 blocks per game thanks in large part to Cephas' play. Cephas' 1.83 blocks per game ranks fourth in the conference. After she recorded five blocks at UNLV she broke into the top 10 in career blocks at Nevada. She needs two more blocks to pass Kate Smith for ninth.
BRIGGS BREAKING OUT
Sophomore Terae Briggs shot out of a cannon during the team's game against Fresno State. Briggs scored a career-best 22 points, the first 20-point game of her career, and added 11 rebounds to post her third double-double of the season. Briggs, who normally shot under 50 percent from the free throw line, connected on 10-of-11 from the charity stripe. She ranks eighth in the MW in rebounding (7.7 rpg) and is third in offensive rebounds (3.5 per game). In league play, Briggs leads the team with 8.2 rebounds per game and is second in points per game (11.4) and free throw percentage (82.6 percent). She has scored in double figures in five of her last six games.
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. After she connected on 11-of-14 from the line at Air Force, Moe's 84 made free throws through 24 games is fourth in the Mountain West. She has missed just 16 foul shots total, giving her 100 attempts on the season, which ranks fourth in the Mountain West. Moe is shooting 84.0 percent from the line, which ranks 48th in the nation.

SEEING DOUBLE
In Nevada's game against Boise State, sophomores AJ Cephas and Riana Everidge became the first Wolf Pack duo to record double-doubles in the same game since the 2014-15 season. Cephas finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Everidge collected a game-high 16 points and 10 rebounds. To find when the last time that happened you have to go back to Feb. 7, 2015 when Emily Burns (15 pts, 10 reb) and Mimi Mungedi (24 pts, 29 reb) each posted a double-double in the game vs. San Jose State.
