Series History
Jax State holds a 3-1 series record over the Bulldogs. The two squads faced each other last season at the Pete Mathews Coliseum when the Gamecocks claimed a 55-41 victory. In 2021, Jax State dominated the Bulldogs at Georgia Southern's Thanksgiving Tournament 75-43, and the Gamecocks won the initial matchup between the teams back in 2013 by score of 73-63 also at the Pete. The Bulldogs lone victory over Jax State came on Dec. 16, 2014, in a 55-52 win in Orangeburg, S.C.
Â
A Balanced Attack
In the home opening win over Southern Utah on Nov. 9 four Gamecocks scored double-figures. Elsie Harris led the way with 13 points, Asia Barclay had 12, and Clara Gonzalez Planella and Mya Barnes both had 11, respectively.
Â
Asia's Big Game
Barclay did much more against the Thunderbirds than just put the ball through the hoop. The senior forward from Anniston, Ala., led the Red-and-White in rebounds with seven. Barclay also had a block and a steal proving to be a force on the defensive side of the ball for Jax State to compliment her offensive output.
Â
Perfection
Barnes' 11 points came on a perfect shooting night as she was 4-4 from the field and 3-3 from three-point range. She was not the only Jax State player to not miss a field goal, however. Brooklyn McDaniel scored four points on a perfect field goal percentage as well. McDaniel also stuffed the stat sheet with six rebounds and a team-best four assists.
Â
Pietri's Home Opener Streak
Since taking over the Jax State program, head coach Rick Pietri has yet to lose a home opener making him 12-0 after last weekend's victory over Southern Utah. His first home win came against Miles College in his inaugural season in 2013-14.
Â
Up Next
The Gamecocks will return home for a pair of games to close out the month of November, beginning with a matchup against in-state rival UAB on Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. Jax State will then face Sewanee at the Pete on Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m.
