BIG BLOCKS

Georgia Kehoe is averaging 1.2 blocks per game this season, good for fifth in the WAC and one of just nine players averaging over a block per game. Kehoe is tied for second in BPG in WAC games at 1.3: only Seynabou Thiam's 2.7 BPG in WAC games is higher.

TEAM OFFENSE

Barbara Rangel had 11 points at New Mexico State, her first double-digit scoring game as a Redhawk. She is the fifth Redhawk with 10+ points in the last two games. Rangel's 11 points also led the Redhawks: she is the fourth different Redhawk to lead the team in scoring in the last five games.

BREE OFF THE BENCH

Bree Calhoun was held to her lowest-scoring output off the bench of her career at New Mexico State. Even so, Calhoun is averaging 17 PPG coming off the bench. She has two 20-point outings in those ten games and seven games with 15+ points. Calhoun is shooting 44.6% from the field off the bench.

THE DYNAMIC DUO

Bree Calhoun and McKenzi Williams each scored 25 points in the overtime win over New Mexico State on Saturday. It was a season-high for Williams and a new career high for Calhoun, her second new career high in scoring in the last three games. It was the first time in the Division I era that the Redhawks have had two players score 25+ in the same game. The Redhawks had not had two players with 20+ since February 20, 2021, when WIlliams had 21 and Calhoun 20 against UTRGV.

SCORING MACHINE

McKenzi Williams needs just 27 more points to reach 900 in her career. The 25-point performance against New Mexico State was her second-highest scoring performance ever, behind only the program-record 36-point game at Idaho last year. It was Williams' eighth career 20-point game, with seven of those eight coming since the beginning of the 2020-21 season.

THE STOCK MARKET

Georgia Kehoe is closing in on 50+ career steals and 50+ career blocks. Kehoe already has 66 career blocks, the fifth-most in Seattle U history. She needs just two more steals to reach 50 career steals as well. Kehoe would be the fourth Redhawk in the Division I era with 50+ blocks and 50+ steals, joining Alexis Montgomery, Kamrica Ary-Turner, and Taelor Ross.
