SAN DIEGO – The San Diego women's basketball program (4-8, 0-0 WCC) is set to complete the non-conference schedule on Saturday, hosting Brown (8-3, 0-0 Ivy League) at 2 p.m., at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
- The Toreros won the rebounding battle, but could not complete the comeback, falling 62-54 to Boise State on Dec. 21.
- Veronica Sheffey continued her breakout sophomore campaign, tallying 15 points to lead the Toreros offense.
- Kasey Neubert also returned to form, taking home her fourth double-double of the season with 11 points and 13 rebounds.
Â
OPPONENT HISTORY
- San Diego is set to face Brown for the first time in program history.
- It's the second meeting against an Ivy League opponent this season after facing Princeton on Nov. 19.
Â
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
- A key determining factor for the success of the Toreros is the disbursement of scoring, as the team has won all four of their games when at least three or more players score in double figures.
- Sheffey ranks second in the WCC and 37th in the nation in assists per game (5.2) and 35th nationally in total assists (63).
- Her start in the assist category is potentially historic, as only two Toreros have ever averaged over five assists per game over a full season (Amanda Rego (twice) and Lori Morris).
- The Toreros have made an effort to control their turnovers in recent weeks, with their five lowest totals coming in the last six games.
- Three of the team's four wins have come when the Toreros shoot over 50 percent from the field as a unit.
Â
TORERO TIDBITS
- Head coach Cindy Fisher is closing in on 400 wins in her career, standing at 393 between San Diego and Wyoming.
- San Diego is undefeated when they hold opponents under 60 points.Â
- The Toreros rank 59th in the nation and third in the WCC in blocks per game (4.3).
- Neubert needs just 21 points to reach 800 in her career.
