Lexie Givens, Alyssa Jimenez, Megan Ormiston and Victoria Davis have contributed heavily in multiple categories recently for the Pack. Givens produced back-to-back double-doubles for points and rebounds in the 2022 Nugget Classic on Nov. 25 and 27, earning All-Tournament team honors in the process. She was the first Nevada player since Terae Briggs in 2018 to post a double-double in back-to-back games.
Davis and Jimenez came up with double digit numbers in points and rebounds against Idaho on Dec. 3, becoming the first Nevada duo to collect a double-double in the same game since 2019. Ormiston picked up her first collegiate double-double (26 points, 11 rebounds) on Dec. 11 against Santa Clara, posting career-highs in both categories. Jimenez most recently added her second career double-double on Dec. 29 against San Jose State (14 points, 10 rebounds).
This year’s Nevada women’s basketball team ranks 87th in the nation and fifth in the Mountain West in steals per game with a 9.3 mark. Jimenez became the seventh player since 2013 to record 100 career steals. She is the fastest player since 2013 to reach that mark.
SCOUTING UTAH STATE
Utah State is looking to break a seven-game losing streak on Saturday. The Aggies won a closely contested battle the last time they played Nevada, defeating the Pack 82-80 in double overtime in Logan, Utah, last season.
Maria Carvalho leads Utah State, averaging 10.8 points per game while grabbing 4.9 rebounds per game. Mayson Kimball also adds production, scoring 9.1 rebounds per game while grabbing 4.3 rebounds per game.
