ELLIS RANKS AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS: Abbey Ellis is not only leading the conference in scoring by averaging 18.0 points; she also ranks No. 21 around the country in free-throw percentage, at .886, plus No. 23 nationally in steals per game (2.9).
Additionally, Ellis now ranks 29th in program history for all-time scoring, with 739 career points.
The sophomore point guard out of Australia netted 39 points in the 73-63 road win over San Diego State on Dec. 21, the most by a Mustang since Jan. 4, 2018. The showing helped her repeat as Big West Player of the Week for Dec. 29, picking up her third career conference accolade. Shortly afterward on New Year's Day she had a 31-point outing at UC San Diego, fueled by knocking down eight 3-pointers. Her eight triples launched Cal Poly to a single-game program record for made 3s, connecting on 17 of 33 looks from behind the arc on the way to a 90-68 win.
CAMPISANO ALSO CLIMBING SCHOOL-HISTORY LEADERBOARD: Cal Poly's Sierra Campisano — selected as Big West Player of the Week on Dec. 14 (as well as College Sports Madness' BWC MVP for Dec. 21) — also finds herself among the league leaders in a handful of statistical categories. The senior forward from San Diego now ranks No. 2 throughout the conference in both scoring (averaging 16.9 points) and rebounding (8.9).
Campisano, a 2020 all-conference first-teamer, also is fourth in the league in blocks per game (at 1.3) and 11th in 3-point percentage (.357). A former transfer from Oregon, she also now ranks No. 26 in school history for career scoring, with 769 points as a Mustang, only 33 away from entering the Top 25 all-time.
A LOOK AT LONG BEACH STATE: LBSU heads to San Luis Obispo ranked No. 9 in the country in team steals per game (11.7), which helps The Beach give up just 57.9 points on average (41st-best nationally). Justina King leads Long Beach with 13.4 points, 3.9 assists & 2.2 steals per game.
Kristyna Jeskeova, meanwhile, is averaging a team-high 7.9 rebounds a night, while Jasmine Hardy is next in scoring, netting 11.5 points.
Cal Poly won the most recent encounter between the two squads, 59-48 to open last year's abbreviated BWC Tournament and improve to 24-36 in the all-time intercollegiate-era rivalry.
VICK & BROWN JOIN TOP-5 CONFERENCE LEADERS: Mustang redshirt sophomore guard Maddie Vick and Cal Poly senior forward Kirsty Brown also start this week both ranked within the Top 5 across a couple conference leaderboards for the duration of 2020-21.
Vick's assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.8 presently ranks fifth throughout the league (while she's also No. 13 in the Big West for assists per game, via 2.7). Brown, meanwhile, currently ranks fifth in the conference in offensive rebounding, averaging 2.4 extra possessions per game. Additionally — specific to conference play — Vick has moved up to No. 3 around all of the Big West for assist-to-turnover ratio with a 2.0 mark since league action commenced.
