WOODBERRY PICKS UP RIGHT WHERE SHE LEFT OFF IN 2013-14
Rebecca Woodberry (Sr., F, Phoenix, Ariz.) finished the 2013-14 season as the 12th best 3-point shooter in the nation (3.1/g). Through three games of 2014-15 she is ahead of her pace from last year (3.7/g). She has scored in double figures in each game this year, including a 30-point outburst at Utah (11/14) to open the campaign.
The single-season record holder for 3-pointers (90 in 2013-14), Woodberry became the seventh player in program history to reach 100 made threes when she drained four at UC Riverside (11/20). She has made 101 3-pointers in 32-career games at San José State.
CAN YOU HANDLE THE PRESSURE
It's only three games, but the Spartans showed an inkling of what their pressure defense is capable of this year. SJSU has forced its opponents to turn the ball over 84 times and in those, made 46 steals. San José State made those opponent miscues pay off to the tune of a 88-31 advantage in points off turnovers.
