The Aggies look to stop a 2-game skid tomorrow when they cross the Causeway to take on the Hornets.
CSUS comes in with a 3-game win streak, and its best start to the season since 2022-23. The Hornet women’s basketball team, like the both men’s team and the football team, remade its roster this year, with nine newcomers - a group that includes three D1 transfers, another from a prominent NAIA program, two community college players, and three freshmen. Three players average double figures, freshman Rubi Gray (13.7), junior transfer Natalie Picton (12.8), and senior Benthe Versteeg (10.7) provide support. Sacramento gets it done on the boards by committee with a quartet of players each grabbing about 5 rpg..
UCD counters with its four in double figures: Ryann Bennett (18.4), Nya Epps (13.6), Avery Sussex (11.6) and Megan Norris (10.8). Norris averages 9.8 rpg to lead the Aggies, followed by Tegan Young (4.6) and Sussex (4.0).
One area in which the Hornets are clearly superior so far is bench scoring, averaging about 30 per game, while the thin and young Aggie bench is contributing 11 ppg.
I honestly think sac fits in well with the big west. I cannot remember why they were in the big sky and not in the big west to begin with for all sports? Was this when they moved up to d1?
I am so excited for the Davis move to the MW. Some of the arenas have been on my bucket list for years and now we get to play those teams year in and year out. My family already is planning on making a Wyoming road trip at some point (and go to Nevada and SJSU games more often than literally any big west team as of now considering we all live in NorCal). The Pit at UNM is also an awesome venue. UTEP will be fun, I know the architecture of the campus is Bhutanese architecture.
