Women's Basketball Fact Sheet No. 4

MODEL OF EFFICIENCY: Ruby Vaden came off the bench to score 18 points in only 13 minutes off 8-of-11 from the floor against Centenary.

BALANCED SCORING STARTS SEASON: In the first two games for Arkansas, five different players have been in double digits and two different players lead the team in scoring and rebounding each contest. So far, four players are in double digits — Danielle Allen (14.5), Kristin Peoples (11.5), Ruby Vaden (11.5) and Rochelle Vaughn (10.0) — and nine are in double digit minutes.

TIME ON OUR SIDE: The key to Arkansas’ new open-court system is timely substitution (just ask the players). As the Lady’Backs run all-out, Susie Gardner has been working subs to keep the intensity level high. The result — no player averaging over 30 minutes (April Seggebruch is tops at 28.5) but nine over 10 minutes (10 if you round up Sarah Pfeifer’s 9.5).
