Jensen played in the first game of the year at UC Irvine, her first appearance since March 1, She took a redshirt year to manage her Type I diabetes diagnosis. Price first played at Southern this season, her first game since Jan. 31, She suffered an ACL injury in that game at Nevada, and spent the season rehabbing her injury. THE DUFFICY DEFENSE In USU s game at Southern, sophomore guard/forward Shannon Dufficy led the team with a career-high 19 rebounds. Those 19 boards are the most by a State player in a game since 1983, when Sharon Epps tallied a school-record 22 rebounds in three games. Dufficy is now tied for eighth-place on the single-game rebound list with the 19. Additionally, Dufficy is tied for 15th and 21st with single-game performances of 17 and 16 rebounds, respectively, last season.

In last week s game at Southern alone, the starters scored 58 of the team s 67 points, while securing 34 of 43 rebounds.
