    Aggies 102 Academy of Art 52 - Final. Nice crowd of 2103.

    50% shooting overall on 38 of 76
    41% from 3 on 15 of 37
    Rebounds 53-27

    Leading scorers:
    Sabel 24 points
    Turner 18
    Norris 17

    This team is going to push the ball and play fast this year and they have pretty good depth. They tend to get sloppy with their passes at times, 15 TO's today, and that will hurt them against good teams.

    The Aggies next game is against Portland State on Thursday at 5 pm in the second game of a home double header with the men playing Pepperdine in the first game at 2:30 pm.

    The other day Jen said she was looking to have the team move from "take a good shot" to "work to take the GREAT shot." Certainly that was clearly demonstrated during the course of Monday's game. I also saw, in the play of our bigs, some very smooth ball handling. In times past we'd have seen a timing dribble on a pass into the lane or on a rebound. I can't recall seeing one on Monday and multiple times Svanholm, Sabel and Norris received a pass and made smooth, elegant routes to the hoop protecting the ball and taking away reaction time from the defenders. Clearly this is something they have worked on and been coached on during the off season. I hope it carries forward throughout the season.

    And it seems like not enough is being said about Svanholm this year. She’s the only D1 bball player currently enrolled in a PhD program. And she’s coming back from major knee surgery. That’s a story that should be shouted!
