SERIES HISTORY

played each other a good amount in the last six years. In the Jane Albright era, the Wolf Pack and Aztecs have met 11 times with SDSU having the slight edge, 6-5, in those games. Nevada and San Diego State have played one another once already this season as the Aztecs came out on top of an 83-78 game in San Diego.

• Riana Everidge was the only Pack player to reach double figures (10 pts).
• Terae Briggs was a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line.
• Nevada trailed by just four at halftime, 26-22.
• AJ Cephas recorded five blocks, one shy of her season high.
• Nevada's bench outscored UNLV's bench, 20-6.
• The Pack's 41 points were a season low.
PLAY4KAY
Saturday marks Nevada's annual Play 4Kay pink game. The Pack will go pink for cancer awareness and a number of activities are scheduled to raise funds for the Kay Yow Foundation. A silent auction will be held during Saturday's game with items ranging from lessons from select Wolf Pack coaches, first pitch opportunities at a Nevada baseball or softball game, tickets to an upcoming Wolf Pack men's basketball game, and Nevada football ticket packages, among other items. A pink treadmill will also be on display as participants can walk or run on the treadmill during the game for a $100 donation. Nevada has set a goal of raising $2,017.
CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS
Senior Stephanie Schmid and junior T Moe have quietly been moving up the Nevada record book this season. Moe, who ranks 40th in the nation in free throw percentage, is now fifth all-time at Nevada with 295 free throws made. She needs 11 to pass Ieesha Donadelle for fourth. Schmid on the other hand has made 108 three-pointers in her short time with the Wolf Pack, which breaks her into the top 10. Schmid needs seven 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 49th in the nation with 4.8 blocks per game thanks in large part to Cephas' play. Cephas' 1.91 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 four 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 ninth in the MW in rebounding (7.5 rpg) and is third in offensive rebounds (3.6 per game). Since the start of conference play, Briggs leads the team averaging 10.8 points and 8.0 rebounds per game and is shooting 83.3 percent from the free throw line.
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 80 made free throws through 22 games is third in the Mountain West. She has missed just 14 foul shots total, giving her 94 attempts on the season, which ranks third in the Mountain West. Moe is shooting 85.1 percent from the line, which ranks 40th in the nation.

• Halie Bergman - Five points shy of 300
• Terae Briggs - 21 points shy of 200
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.
