Davis and Jimenez came up with double digit numbers in points and rebounds against Idaho on Dec. 3, becoming the first Nevada duo to collect a double-double in the same game since 2019. Ormiston picked up her first collegiate double-double (26 points, 11 rebounds) on Dec. 11 against Santa Clara, posting career-highs in both categories. Jimenez most recently added her second career double-double on Dec. 29 against San Jose State (14 points, 10 rebounds).
Nevada has had one fourth of its 2022-23 roster register at least one career 20-point outing. Most recently, graduate student
Megan Ormiston has scored over 20 points in two out of her last four outings. She registered a career-high 26 points on Dec. 11 against Santa Clara and dropped 21 points in the Pack's next game on Dec. 17 against Oregon State. Guards
