UNLV Rebels Look to Continue Winning Streak Against San Diego State Aztecs

The UNLV Rebels women's basketball team is set to face off against the San Diego State Aztecs in an exciting matchup at Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl in San Diego, California. The game is scheduled for January 17th, 2024, at 11:00 AM local time and will be broadcasted on the MW Network.

Both teams have had a strong start to the season, but it's the UNLV Rebels who are riding a three-game winning streak. Led by their star player, Alyssa Durazo-Frescas, who has been outstanding in their previous games, the Rebels are looking to extend their winning streak and maintain their position at the top of the standings.

Durazo-Frescas, playing as a guard for the Rebels, has been a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court. In their most recent game against Air Force Falcons, she scored 11 points and contributed with 2 rebounds and 1 steal. Her shooting percentages were impressive as well, with a field goals percentage of 50% and a three-points percentage of 43%. Durazo-Frescas' performance has been crucial in securing victories for the Rebels.

But she is not alone in her exceptional play. Other key players for the Rebels include Amarachi Kimpson, Ashley Scoggin, Jasmyn Lott, Nneka Obiazor, Kiara Jackson, Desi-Rae Young, Alyssa Brown, Erica Collins, Macie James, Macy Spencer, and McKinna Brackens. Together they form a formidable team that has shown great chemistry on the court.

Looking at their average statistics over the past three games, it's clear that the Rebels have been dominating their opponents. They have averaged an impressive 73 points per game while shooting at an efficient field goals percentage of 50%. Their defense has also been outstanding, with an average of 8 steals and 3 blocks per game. This strong defensive presence has allowed them to limit their opponents' scoring opportunities.

On the other side of the court, the San Diego State Aztecs will be looking to bounce back from a recent loss against Boise State Broncos. The Aztecs have some talented players in their roster, including Mia Davis, Meghan Fiso, Khylee Pepe, Sarah Barcello, Adryana Quezada, Kim Villalobos, Alyssa Jackson, Jada Lewis, and Natalija Grizelj. These players will need to step up their game if they want to compete with the high-flying Rebels.

In their previous games, the Aztecs have struggled to find consistency on offense. They have averaged only 55 points per game while shooting at a field goals percentage of 37%. Their defense has been solid though, with an average of 7 steals and 1 block per game. If they can find a way to improve their offensive efficiency and capitalize on their defensive strengths, they might have a chance against the Rebels.

As the game approaches, all eyes will be on Alyssa Durazo-Frescas and her teammates as they look to continue their winning streak. However, it's important not to underestimate the San Diego State Aztecs and their potential impact on the outcome of the game. With both teams hungry for a victory, this matchup promises to be an exciting battle between two talented squads.
