Agnes Scott will look to guard Abi Pollett, who was productive in the opener with 12 points and six rebounds in 26 minutes. Ryley Jolly added 13 points, three rebounds and three assists, while Anissa Brailsford contributed four points and nine rebounds. The Scotties will need more balance and better execution on the offensive end as they try to even their record.
Warren Wilson counters with guard Emily Randolph, who scored 24 points and added four rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes in the loss at Hollins. Nassi Robinson chipped in six points and six rebounds, and Sade Lawrence had four points and four rebounds. The Owls will aim to tighten their defense and find scoring support around Randolph.
The matchup features two programs still searching for consistency early in the season. Agnes Scott will try to use its road experience to control tempo, while Warren Wilson will rely on its home setting and Randolph’s scoring ability. Both teams have struggled in their opening games, making the meeting an early opportunity to build momentum.
Agnes Scott will need to limit turnovers and create second-chance opportunities to support Pollett and Jolly. Warren Wilson will focus on defensive rebounds and efficient possessions to keep Randolph involved while avoiding prolonged scoring droughts. The Owls’ home crowd could provide an early lift, but the Scotties’ guard play gives them a chance to dictate pace. The Scotties will need to contain Randolph without surrendering open looks, while the Owls must handle Agnes Scott’s backcourt pressure and avoid empty possessions. That balance could decide a close game between teams eager to establish rhythm.
