The Aggies play the Panthers in Stockton for their 2nd game of the Tiger Turkey Tip-Off, hosted by Pacific. Milwaukee could be another challenging opponent for Davis, as their record is deceiving, with three of their losses to Power 4 schools - Wisconsin, Marquette and Butler..
Jorey Buwalda leads the Panthers with 11.3 ppg, followed by Grace Lomen at 6.5 ppg. Buwalda also carries the load in rebounding at 9.4 rpg, with no one else collecting more that 3 boards a game.
Ryann Bennett continues to pace the Aggies in scoring at 18.4 ppg, followed by Nya Epps (12.0), Megan Norris (11.3), and Avery Sussex (10.9). Norris is tops on the boards at 9.9 rpg, followed by Tegan Young at 4.6. Emmy Ersdala, Sophie Lentfer and Vic Baker provide crucial minutes off the bench.
The 6-2 record is the Aggies' best start since the 2020-21 season, when they started 7-1. Of course, that was the Covid year and UCD's eighth game wasn't until February 13.
If you want full seasons, this year is the best start since 2017-18, when the Aggies started 9-0. That team finished 28-7, and included Morgan Berstch, Pele Gianotti, Eachel Nagle, Dani Nafekh and the Eaton twins.
