SWEET STEALS
Nevada women's basketball has made getting steals and forcing turnovers a part of their identity. Nevada is currently 16th in the nation in steals and third in the Mountain West. The Pack opened the season with 23 steals Nov. 9, the fourth-most by a Wolf Pack squad in a single game in the NCAA Era. They collected 24 steals Dec. 16 against Stanislaus State, the third-most by a Nevada team in a single game in the NCAA Era. Guards Audrey Roden and Victoria Davis along with forward Lexie Givens also obtained the 100 career steals mark earlier this year. 

BANWAREESINGH WITH THE BOARDS
Fifth year guard/forward has been a major contributor to Nevada's bench this season. Banwareesingh has two double-digit rebounding games while wearing a Nevada uniform, most recently obtaining 14 boards Feb. 7 at Air Force. The Bronx, New York, native had 10 rebounds in the first half and was two rebounds shy of matching a career-high. Banwareesingh, who has the longest last name on Nevada, is nicknamed "Kay B" by the team. When her great, great, great grandfather went to get his passport in Trinidad, the passport company put his middle name "Banwaree" with his last name, "Singh". The last name stuck with the Banwareesingh family for years to come.

EARLY WORK
Nevada has two freshmen in Dymonique Maxie and Izzy Sullivan that are climbing the freshmen ranks in the NCAA Era. Maxie currently has the fourth-most steals by a Nevada freshman. Maxie needs 19 more steals to claim the Nevada Freshmen Steals Record set by Carissa Meyer (1994-95). Sullivan is currently third among Nevada freshmen in the NCAA Era in made 3-pointers in a single season. She needs 13 more to claim the Nevada Freshmen 3-Pointers Record set by current Nevada teammate Audrey Roden.

SCOUTING SAN DIEGO STATE
