The Aggies travel o Palo Alto on Thursday for their annual meeting with the Cardinal.
Stanford, undefeated so far this season, is looking to return to form after a down year in 2024-25 when it missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time in forever. The Cardinal puts four players in double figures, with juniors Chloe Clardy and NuNu Agara, leading the way 13.2 and 12.8 ppg, respectively. Freshmen Hailee Swain (11.2) and Lara Somfai (10.6) provide support. Agara is also Stahford’s leading rebounder with 8.2 rpg, followed by Somfai at 7.6.
UCD counters with its own quartet in double figures: Ryann Bennett (18.3), Nya Epps (16), Avery Sussex (13.8) and Megan Norris (10.3). Norris averages 11.3 rpg to lead the Aggies, followed by Tegan Young (5.3) and Emmy Ersdala (4.5). The Davis bench is a little deeper as with Vic Baker returned against Boise State, after missing the first 3 games with an ankle injury.
Offense wasn’t the issue in last Friday's loss to the Broncos. An uncharacteristically poor defensive showing was there main culprit. Davis will need to get back to their usual strong team defense when they visit Maples Pavilion.
