Texas Southern brings a two-way talent to Eugene in Niya Mitchell who was named to several preseason player of the year lists, including Defensive Player of the Year in the SWAC. Last season she averaged better than a double-double per game and will certainly have the attention of the Oregon Defense.
For the Oregon Women’s Basketball team, they will play their third game without Satou Sabally, who is overseas with the German National Team. Without her, others have stepped into and stepped up. Taylor Chavez had 25 points vs Utah State on Wednesday and was 6 for 9 from three-point range.
