I know getting worked up over our 9-1 football team is all the rage now but the ladies are manhandling Arkansas State tonight on the hardwood.

That will soon be rectified with players coming back from injuries plus the transfer.

No. 22 USF Stampedes Past Arkansas State

 

TAMPA, NOV. 17, 2017 – Six players in double figures led the University of South Florida to a 98-55 over visiting Arkansas State Friday night. Led by Kitija Laksa with 25 points, the Bulls' remained perfect at Sun Dome Arena.
 
USF (3-0) bested Arkansas State (1-2) in every statistical category, but the stat of the night came from 22 assists on 34 field goals. Laia Flores (Mataro, Spain) dished out a team best 11 assists. Laksa (Riga, Latvia) turned in 25 points and seven rebounds. The junior shot 50 percent from the floor. Maria Jespersen (Arhus, Denmark) scored 19 points and added nine rebounds while Laura Ferreria (Lisboa, Portugal) netted 14 points and 10 rebounds for her second double-double of the year.
 
Redshirt-freshman Shae Leverett (Rincon, Ga.) had an incredible night finishing perfect from the floor. The post notched her first double-double performance with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Alba Prieto (Seville, Spain) netted a career-best 12 points while Tamara Henshaw (Palm Coast, Fla.) added 10 points and six rebounds.
 
The Bulls started the game firing on all cylinders, and didn't miss a shot for the first six minutes of the first quarter. USF never trailed and held the Red Wolves to a shooting percentage of .254. The Bulls' defense only allowed one scorer to reach double figures as Arkansas State's Akasha Westbrook led her team with 16 points.
 
QUOTABLES:
Head coach Jose Fernandez on the USF's defense:
"I'm happy with how we defended and defended the arc primarily. We came out of the locker room at half time and they took pride on the defensive end."
 
Head coach Jose Fernandez on the play of his freshmen:
"We're playing eight, three of them are freshman. Having those guys have 12, 3 and 13 is great. They are getting great experience. Right now, that's what we need them to do. I thought in camp they got 30 practices in 40 days and two scrimmages against two very, very good teams. Right now, they are five games in to their college career, counting the two scrimmages and they've played against some pretty good competition."  
 
Senior Maria Jespersen (#12) on Shae Leverett:
"Shae sat out last year and traveled with us, worked out with us but especially over the summer you could see how much she has improved from last year and how great a player she is. She comes in as a [redshirt] freshman on a top-25 team and she does so much for us. She sits here with a double-double and I believe she can do that every night. I think she's just starting to realize how good she is."
 
KEY STATS:
22: USF assisted 22 of its 34 field goals. The Bulls shared the ball with six players scoring in double figures.  
 
NOTABLES: 

• USF starts its season with a 3-0 record for the third time in the past six seasons.
• Maria Jespersen grabbed 9 rebounds, and surpassed 500 career rebounds. Jespersen sits at 902 points and 502 rebounds.
• Laura Ferreira has led the Bulls in rebounds for three-straight outings and averages 11.6 rebounds per game.
• Kitija Laksa has made two-plus three-pointers in her last 11 outings and has gone 18-straight games with at least one trey.
• Laia Flores entered Friday's contest with 11 assists in two games. With her 11 assists against Arkansas State, Flores is now averaging 7.33 assists per game.

That was fun to watch. I don't know how many turn overs we had, but several of those were assist that just missed being more points.

Fun game ladies - GO BULLS!

We'll be adding 3 in the next few weeks.  Nagy was supposed to get some minutes last night but didn't.  Enna is supposed to be ready for Ft Myers next weekend.  And Rader is eligible somewhere around Dec 10th I believe.  

Edit: Jazz Bond is available but not getting any PT.
