RENO, Nev. — Nevada women's basketball hosts Jessup University for a Tuesday night matchup. 

Wolf Pack women's basketball is on the hunt for its first win of the season. Tipoff is set for 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday night against Jessup.

LAST TIME OUT
Nevada fell short against Sacramento State, 70-60, in the team's home opener last Saturday evening. Mahaila Harrison and Alexis Swillis led the Pack, combining for half of the team's points, while Aili Tanke dominated the boards with seven rebounds. The team struggled to stop Sacramento State's Koko Akridge and Natalie Picton, who combined for 40 of the Hornets' 70 points.

Despite the loss, Nevada posted a dominant fourth-quarter performance, scoring 17 to Sacramento State's eight points. The Pack's success stemmed from its second-half defense, which limited both Akridge and Picton to three points each in the final 10 minutes of play. 

SCOUTING JESSUP
Jessup University transitioned to the Division II PacWest after competing in the NAIA for 20 years. The Warriors played their second season in the NCAA last year, where they finished 9-19 overall and 7-15 in the PacWest.

Jessup returns two key players from last year's lineup: forward Porter Wood and defensive stopper Claudia Jimenez. Wood averaged 10.6 points and 6.8 rebounds last season, while Jimenez led the team in steals with a total of 48 across 24 games played, averaging two per game.

HISTORY
Nevada won the only matchup played against Jessup in the Wolf Pack NCAA era. The Pack competed against Jessup in 2020, when it pulled out a narrow 66-65 victory. Nevada led most of the contest, entering halftime with a 34-27 advantage. The Warriors posted a prominent third-quarter performance, outscoring the Pack 24-17; however, the Pack battled back to take the win, 66-65.
