They currently sit in seventh place in the Big West standings while CSUN is up to fourth. The Matadors are currently 11-12 overall (5-4 in conference) and have lost their last two games going into Thursday. They are hosting Cal Poly Thursday night in the Matadome before traveling down to Fullerton for Saturday's game.

DAEJA-VU
Picking up where she left off last year, Daeja Smith has shown why she's on the Lisa Leslie Award watch list. Through 22 games, she has seven double-doubles, averaging 13.0 ppg and 8.6 rpg. Her best game came against CBU when she set a career-high 26 points to go along with 16 rebounds.

GAME CHANGER
Raina Perez was forced to redshirt last season, but has shown everyone what she's capable of already this year. After missing the first game, she is averaging 12.4 points per game and 5.1 assists in 35.5 minutes per game.

RED HOT KIWI
Freshman Amiee Book has been absolutely on fire from the field this season. In twelve games, she is shooting 49.7% (83-167) from the field and 42.7% (35-82) from three. She currently ranks third in program single-season history in three-point percentage.

SHARING IS CARING
This year's Fullerton team plays very unselfishly passing up good shots for great shots. Because of that, they have 332 assists on the year averaging 15.1 per game. They currently rank 89th and 74th in the NCAA respectively

ON FIRE FROM THE FIELD
The Titans have shot lights out from the field so far this year, ranking second in the conference shooting 41.8% from the field leading to 63.2 points per game which is the third highest scoring team in the Big West.

KEEP THEM OFF THE LINE
Fullerton does not allow their opponents many chances from the charity strike. Opponents are only averaging 9.0 made free throws per game and the Titans only average 13.8 fouls per game, which ranks 13th fewest in the country. Overall, they have only committed 304 fouls on the year which is fewest in the Big West and the 10th fewest in the NCAA.
