Wendy Martell jersey unveiling
On Feb. 8, Fresno State will celebrate the jersey unveiling of former All-American Wendy Martell at halftime against the Bulldogs' game against UNLV.

- Martell ranks fifth on the program's career points list with 1,595. She is also among the top-five all-time in assists (480) and steals (224).
