SUU again looked good on defense, holding San Diego State to 55 points and 41.9 percent shooting from the floor, but their offense is still a work in progress.
That being said, in almost any sport, a team is able to pick up a new defense quicker than a new offense. Ideally for SUU, these nonconference games will do the trick before Mid-Con play starts.

Bright spots during Friday night's game was the T-Birds' bench. Cash Connors scored nine points, making 4 of 8 shots. A sophomore shooting guard, Connors looks like she could be the offensive burst off the bench SUU's been looking for. Additionally, Silvia Da Silva scored a career-high nine points as the backup point guard. With Amy Anderson quitting, Da Silva should get a lot more playing time than the six minutes a contest she was averaging before Friday. Against the Aztecs Da Silva played a season-high 23 minutes. Shooting guard Heather Hillock will serve as the team's third point guard if needed.
