THE BREAKDOWN
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
After two games at home, Fresno State heads back out on the road this weekend, heading to San Diego for The Dana on Mission Bay Holiday Tournament. The Bulldogs will play their next five games away from Fresno.Â
Through four games, Haley Cavinder has had her hand in everything that the Bulldogs have done. The 5-foot-6 point guard ranks leads the Mountain West in points (20.8 ppg) and rebounds (11.0 rpg). She also sits first in double-doubles (3), free throw percentage (1.000) and 3-point field goals made per game (3.25) and 3-point percentage (48.1), and second in assists (6.8).
Last time out, Fresno State's posts were busy in the paint with both Maria Guimaraes and Imani Lacy reaching double figures for the first time this season. Guimaraes finished the night 5-of-8 from field while Lacy was just 2-of-5 from the field but was 7-of-8 from the line.
With her 10th point at BYU (Nov. 13), Hanna Cavinder became the 28th 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.
