- Haley Cavinder is the only player in the country to average a triple double through the opening week of the season. She also leads the NCAA in assists per game (10.0). The junior recorded her first career triple double last Thursday at Utah Valley.

OPENING WEEK AGAINST NCAA TOURNAMENT OPPOSITION
Fresno State opened the 2021-22 season on the road last week, splitting against a pair of games against teams that reached the 2021 NCAA tournament and played the teams who met in the national championship. The Bulldogs opened with a 71-62 win over Utah Valley, who lost in the first round to Stanford, while losing 80-64 to BYU two days later, a team that lost by to Arizona by six in the second round.
TRIPLE DOUBLE
TRIPLE DOUBLE
While she has been close in the past, on Nov. 11, Haley Cavinder recorded her first career triple double in the season opener at Utah Valley. Cavinder posted 25 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists.
- After nearly recording a second triple double at BYU (9pts/8rbs/7asts), Cavinder is averaging a triple double through two games with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. She is the only player currently in the NCAA to average a triple double.
- Cavinder is the second player in Fresno State history to record a triple double, joining Bego Faz Davalos (2).
- Other than Cavinder, only LSU's Khayla Pointer has recorded a triple double thus far.
RUN THE SHOW
As Fresno State's primary point guard Haley Cavinder dished out a career-best 10 assists in back-to-back games to open up the season. Her 10.0 assists per game ranks No. 1 in the NCAA.
- Cavinder hasn't split point guard duties in the Bulldogs' last four contests and averaging 8.3 assists per game.
1,000 POINT SISTERS
With her 10th point at BYU (Nov. 13), Hanna Cavinder became the 27th player in Fresno State history to join the 1,000 point club. She also became the second Cavinder to reach the career milestone, joining her sister Haley who accomplished the feat late last season.
- Hanna reached the 1,000-point mark in 62 games, the third fastest to do so in program. Only Haley (57) and Ki-Ki Moore (60) did it in less games.
LET IT FLY
With team's keying in on the Cavinder twins, transfer Amiee Book stepped up during the opening week, launching one 3-pointer after another. After missing her first two attempts at Utah Valley, Book made five of her last six. On the week, she was 8-of-15 (53.3%).
- Fifteen of Book's 20 field goal attempts were 3-pointers.
- Book ranks 16th nationally in 3-pointers made per game (4.0).
WELCOME BACK

- Motta has started 43 games during the last two seasons.
