LAST TIME OUT
The Rambelles opened their home schedule against Fort Lewis, which quickly became a story of two halves. In the first half, the offense shot over 50 percent from the field to take a lead as big as 12 points. However, a total of 32 turnovers allowed the Skyhawks back into the game, and eventually, the Belles' second straight loss resulted in a 62-61 defeat.

SCOUTING PSU
Pitt State enters the weekend with a 3-1 record and is coming off its first loss of the season in a top ten contest against LSC foe Texas Woman's in their home opener on Tuesday night.

Offensively, the Gorillas average 71 points per game while shooting 23.3 percent from the field. Harper Schreiner and Marin Adams lead the team in individual scoring, having scored 58 and 52 points, respectively.

Defensively, PSU allows 74.8 points per game, which includes allowing 29 percent of shots from the field. Kaycee McCumber and Scheiner lead the Gorillas with 35 and 32 rebounds, respectively, to lead the Gorillas to a 2.5 rebound margin.

RAMBLINGS ABOUT THE RAMBELLES
QUICK HITS

- Majik Esquivel and Taylor Grona lead the Rambelles with 44 points each on the season, followed by Landry Morrow with 30.

- The guard duo has been disruptive defensively, combining for 22 steals—an average of 5.5 per game.

- Senior center Keniah Williams recorded her first double-double of the season in the matchup against Western Colorado. She now has 14 double-doubles in her collegiate career.

- The Rambelles find themselves among the national leaders in blocked shots, averaging 5.5 per game, good enough for 10th.

2024-25 SEASON RECAP
The story of the Rambelles' 18–12 record in the 2024-25 campaign was one defined by streaks. Angelo State opened the season 2–0 before hitting a three-game skid, only to respond with an 11-game winning streak that propelled them back into contention. A late stretch of ups and downs — two losses, three wins, six losses, and two more victories — ultimately led to a first-round exit in the NCAA South Central Regional at the hands of Texas Woman's University.

EXPERIENCE TO SHARE
After fielding one of her youngest squads last season, head coach Alesha Ellis enters the 2025–26 campaign with a veteran-heavy roster. The Rambelles feature five seniors, one junior, five sophomores, and just two freshmen, giving the team a strong balance of leadership and youthful energy.

NEW FACES, NEW VIBES
The Rambelles welcome four newcomers to the roster this season, highlighted by Division I transfers Tristin Keller (Abilene Christian) and Stevi Lockheart (Lindenwood). They'll be joined by freshmen Halle Hughes, a standout from Christoval High School, and Dragana Scepanovic, a promising European addition who brings international experience to the squad.

THE COUNTDOWN TO 100 (at ASU)
Head coach Alesha Ellis is on the brink of a major milestone as she enters her fifth season leading the Rambelles. She sits just 21 wins away from reaching 100 victories at Angelo State University. The former Texas Tech Red Raider has compiled an impressive career record of 268–96 over 12 seasons, including a 79–44 mark in her four full seasons at ASU.
