Opponents Scouting Report

Biola University Eagles (1-3, 1-1 GSAC)
Biola is coming off a 79-43 loss at the hands of #1 ranked (NAIA) Vanguard University.

Biola would enter the locker room at halftime down 52-8.

The Eagles came out of the locker room intent on showing that they were better than the eight points they put up in the first half. Biola would indeed prove that they were not the team of the first half, shooting 38.2% from the field and putting up 35 points. With the offense found, the defense also stepped up its game, bringing down Vanguard’s first-half shooting percentage of 50% to 31.3%. With the offense and defense now in the game the Eagles would actual outscore the visiting Lions in the second half, 35-27.

On the season the Eagles are led offensively by Linda Ogugua with 19.0 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. Other top scores are Lindsey Richelli and Megann Alberts with 9.8 and 8.0 points per game average, respectively.

Texas A&M-Kingsville University Javelina (2-4, 0-0 LSC)
The Javelinas enter Carson, CA as stop two of a three CCAA team swing, first taking on Cal Sate L.A. Friday, CSUDH Saturday, and Cal State San Bernardino next Tuesday.

TAMKU is coming off a 65-54 loss to East Central University, which marks their fourth-straight loss after starting the season 2-0. In the game the Javelinas were led by Linnae Barber and Nahogany Brown with 11 and 10 points respectively. Also contributing to the effort was Aasia Betts with eight points and 17 rebounds.

In the first half the Javelinas would build a 26-18 lead going into the locker room, due largely to sound defense and poor shooting (8 of 32) by the visiting Tigers. With a comfortable lead coming out of the locker room, TAMKU watched the Tigers go on a 31-10 run over the first 13 minutes of the half. After the run the Javelinas found themselves down 49-36, and would not be able to recover.

On the season the Javelina are led by Betts with 11.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game.
