SERIES HISTORY

BALANCE OF JADE
Senior Jade Redmon has been one, if not the, most consistent member of the Wolf Pack this season. Redmon is the only Nevada player to score in double figures in every game in which they have played and has crept her average up to 14.9 points per game, which is second on the team and ranks sixth in the Mountain West. She has been on fire as of late, averaging 16.6 points per game in league play, which is third best in the MW. She has produced 20-point games in two of her last three games. Additionally she recently scored the 1,000th point of her collegiate career against Boise State.

DOUBLE TROUBLE
Freshman Emma Torbert became the final scholarship rookie to post a game in double figures after she scored 11 points in the team's game against Seattle. She also became the first Pack rookie to record a double-double after posting 13 points and 11 rebounds against Hawai'i. Torbert, along with the Pack's four other scholarship freshmen, including Da'Ja Hamilton, Essence Booker, Imani Lacy and Amaya West, have now all reached double figures at least two times this season.

Imani Lacy: USC (11), Stanislaus State (10), Fresno State (12), Air Force (12)
Essence Booker: Long Beach State (12), Colorado (11), Utah State (11)
Emma Torbert: Seattle (11), Hawai'i (13), Boise State (10)
Da'Ja Hamilton: Texas Tech (12), Long Beach State (11)
Amaya West: UC Davis (14), Texas Tech (12)

TIP TIP TERAE
Senior Terae Briggs is putting together a remarkable career season for the Pack. She was named the Mountain West Player of the Week for the first time in her career after scoring a career-high 24 points in the team's win over Hawai'i but then followed that up with setting a new career high of 30 points at Utah State. Briggs tallied 10 points and a season-high 14 rebounds in the win at Colorado State to post her eighth double-double of the year, which ranks 42nd nationally. Briggs currently ranks fifth in the league in scoring, fifth in rebounding, fourth in field goal percentage, fifth in free throw percentage, and is 11th in blocked shots.

For her career, she needs 24 more points to reach 900 in her career. She can reach the 1,000-point mark by averaging 13.7 points per game the rest of the season.

1 - Wins needed for Amanda Levens to reach 70 in her career.
