• Four Bulldogs reached double figures against he Eagles, a feat the 'Dogs accomplished only five times during the 2016-17 season. Along with Candice White's 15 points, the Australian freshmen tandem of Bree Delaney (16) and Genna Ogier (11) were also in double digits.

• The last time the Bulldogs scored 80+ points in a game was back on Nov. 27, 2015 against St. Mary's (CA).

• Twenty-five points is the largest win differential for the 'Dogs over a Division I opponent since their 34-point victory against Air Force on Jan. 8, 2014.

• Fresno State dished out 25 assists against EWU the most in a game since March 9, 2013 versus UNLV.

• The Bulldogs return eight letter winners from a season ago, including preseason all-conference selection Candice White.

• White is the fifth Bulldog to earn preseason honors in the program's six years in the Mountain West, joining Ki-Ki Moore, Taylor Thompson, Alex Sheedy and Bego Faz Davalos.

• Fresno State entered the season as the 11th-youngest team in the NCAA in relation to percentage of underclassmen. The Bulldogs started four underclassmen in the season opener.

• The 'Dogs added four freshman during the offseason. Another new face to the court this season will be Utah transfer Jordanna Porter who redshirted the 2016-17 season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. All five players saw at least 17 minutes of action in the opener.

A look at Arizona State

• Arizona State is coming off of a 74-42 win over UTSA on Sunday in wire-to-wire fashion.

• The Sun Devils were led in scoring by junior Kianna Ibis and Sabrina Haines who each had 16 points. Haines entered the season as the team's active leader in points (401), 3-pointers (44) and steals (55), while Ibis is the active leader in rebounds (177) and shot blocks (22).

Against the Pac-12 under White

In each of head coach Jaime White's first three seasons, Fresno State has played two games against Pac-12 opponents, twice hosting one of its games.

• The Bulldogs are 1-6 versus Pac-12 members under White with the one win coming on the road at Oregon in 2014 (68-59).

The next pass

While the first shot after receiving a pass may look good, it may not be the best shot. Fresno State continued to look for the open teammate in its season opener as the team dished out 25 assists. It was the most for a Bulldog team since March 9, 2013 at UNLV.

• Four 'Dogs had at least three assists, including freshman Bree Delaney who led the team with five.

Starting big

It had been 28 years the Bulldogs had last defeated a team by at least 25 points in a season-opener. With last week's 25-point win over Eastern Washington, that total tied for the fourth-largest margin of victory in a season opener in Fresno State history. On Nov. 24, 1989, the Bulldogs defeated Bucknell by that margin (90-65).

• The top three margin of victories for the 'Dogs in season openers are 79 (Cal State Hayward, 1982), 50 (San Jose State, 1974; ) and 42 (Cal Poly Pomona, 1978).
