1/7/2017 4:36:00 PM | Women's Basketball
FRESNO, Calif. - Behind a 16-0 run to start the second half, the Fresno State women's basketball team defeated San Jose State 88-74 on Saturday afternoon at the Save Mart Center for Pride of the Valley Day.
Fresno State (9-6, 2-2 MW) was led in scoring by a career-high 24 points from senior guard Emilie Volk who went 8-for-11 from the field and 7-for-10 from the free-throw line. Volk added six rebounds, three assists and added a 3-pointer. Junior center Bego Faz Davalos posted her 10th double-double of the season pouring in 20 points and matched her career high corralling 19 rebounds in 31 minutes of action.
San Jose State (4-11, 1-2 MW) was led in scoring by Jasmine Smith who finished with a double-double scoring 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Senior guard Dezz Ramos, who came in averaging 21 points per game and 37 points per game in two MW contests, was held to 12 points and limited to 1-for-10 from 3-point range.
How It happened: After falling behind 24-20 in the opening frame, the Spartans continued to lead the entire second quarter as Fresno State cut the deficit to a pair with 1:01 left until halftime after a layup by Faz Davalos. With San Jose State holding a 41-37 edge at halftime, the 'Dogs came out of the break on fire taking their first lead of the game with 8:24 on the clock in the third quarter after a pair of free throws by Candice White. Forcing the Spartans to miss their first seven field goals, Fresno State started the half on a 16-0 run to extend their lead to 53-41 with 5:40 left in the third quarter after back-to-back 3-pointers by White and Tory Jacobs.
Bego Faz Davalos – 20 points, 19 rebounds, 4 steals
Tallied her fourth 20-point game this season… it was her 10th double-double this season and 26th of her career... it is the seventh time she has led the 'Dogs in scoring this season and she has now reached double figures in scoring in 12 games this season… her 19 rebounds were one shy of the single-game school record.
Emilie Volk - 24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists
Scored a career-high 24 points surpassing her previous-best of 12 points against San Diego Christian (12/5/13)... her eight field goals made and seven free throws made, 10 free throw attempts were career highs.
Candice White - 16 points, 4 rebounds
Registered her 11th double-figure contest of the season and was her 12th game this season with four-plus rebounds.
Kristina Cavey - 12 points, 6 rebounds
Was her third double-figure scoring contest of the season... six rebounds were her second-most on the season.
Quotable:
Jaime White, Fresno State head coach
On today's victory over San Jose State....
"I thought we had a little bit of a slow start. I knew that was going to happen, we are still trying to figure things out without Breanne in the lineup. We had a little taste of it in Wyoming, and I think everybody came back and worked hard. We knew that we would have an advantage inside, with both Bego and Emilie in the center. We wanted to take advantage of that, especially in the second half. Coming back out, we felt like we could really pound it in and open up the perimeter shooting. We saw what we can do from the three-point line. I think we got the jitters out in the first quarter. I thought we scraped back a little bit to close the score some when we were going into halftime. We were able to make a couple of adjustments and our kids were comfortable and got in a good rotation. Grabbing 50 rebounds is huge, and Bego having 19 of those is a really big deal, with nine of those being offensive. That really helped us tonight. Getting 15 assists is big, any time we have assists is a good thing. The more we can do that we, usually, have higher percentages. I am really proud of our kids for how they bounced back from the Wyoming game and I am excited to have two more games at home."
Junior center Bego Faz Davalos
On winning at home after losing on the road at Wyoming…
"We were told that we needed to step up. So, I think Kristina did a great job, Tory, Candice, and Kendra all did a great job. I thought this was a great team win. That is the win that we needed. We relied on each other and trusted each other. We needed it."
Senior guard Emilie Volk
On being back in the Save Mart Center…
"We have always had the intentions of giving our home fans a good game, and a good win. It was just an all around good team win. I felt like we had energy from the start, even though we kind of started slow. Bego was on me to keep believing and I just kept that in mind. I felt like we were all on the same page with what we needed to get out of the offense and it felt good."
On the third quarter momentum…
"Even in the locker room at halftime, we were calm and ready to come out and play. It was kind of a quiet confidence that we had."
