Aggie freshman Taylor Altenburg saw her first significant action of the season (she had previously played in two games but in limited minutes) and she scored seven points, hitting a three pointer and hitting 4-6 free throws. Altenburg is a three point specialist and depending on the extent of Corbett's injury, could see increased minutes as the Aggies search for more offense.
Long Beach State recorded it's third win of the season with all three coming against the WAC. The Aggies drop to 4-7 on the season but with three remaining road non-conference games, Coach Spence's goal of reaching seven wins in the non-conference is still attainable. The Aggies are now off until Sunday when they'll face Long Island University in the first round of the Maggie Dixon Surf 'n Slam Classic in San Diego.
We maintain that this team will be a force to be reckoned with in conference play and as a point of reference, last season's regular season and tournament champion Fresno State started the season 2-8 and then won their final three non-conference games to start league play at 5-8 and then finished 14-2 in conference play and 22-10 overall. As Coach Spence has mentioned many times, they don't hand out trophies in December.
