LOGAN, Utah (Interstat) — The Omaha Mavericks and Utah State Aggies, both seeking to build momentum early in the season, will face off in a non-conference women’s basketball game Saturday at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.

Omaha (1-2) arrives in Nibley following a 56-62 road loss to Utah Tech on Wednesday. The Mavericks’ offense runs through Cora Olsen, who scored 23 points in the defeat, and Sarai Estupiñan, who added 21. Avril Smith anchors the defense, pulling down 14 rebounds and blocking four shots against Utah Tech. The Mavericks’ season has been one of extremes, sandwiching a 88-47 rout of St. Mary’s between a 100-35 loss at Kansas State and the recent narrow defeat.

Utah State (1-1) is coming off its first win, a 68-65 victory at Cal State Bakersfield on Tuesday. The Aggies were led by Sophie Sene’s 18 points and seven rebounds, with Aaliyah Gayles contributing 17 points. The team will look to improve its home performance after a 90-53 loss to in-state rival Utah on Nov. 7 to open the season.

Saturday’s contest is the first of a two-game homestand for the Aggies before a challenging road trip to Oregon State and Oregon. Omaha continues a difficult early-season road swing before returning home to host Cal State Bakersfield on Nov. 20.
