Warriors Update

Trio Setting the Tone
The offensive trio of Eryn Gardner, MilaSarai Tau, and Karissa Hukill has been the foundation of Stan State's early-season success, combining for 60 percent of the team's scoring through two games. Gardner's inside-out versatility,

Tau's power and efficiency in the paint, and Hukill's perimeter scoring have given the Warriors a balanced offensive presence. All three have scored in double figures this season, providing consistency and leadership for a lineup that continues to develop rhythm and confidence.

Tau adds 11.0 points per game and provides power in the post, while Hukill (10.0 ppg) hit a season-high 17 points versus Jessup. Quinn Garrett (6.5 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 3.0 apg) continues to steady the backcourt.

The Warriors are forcing 19 turnovers per game and averaging 10 steals, showing early strength on the defensive end. They've also been sharp defending the perimeter, holding opponents to just 35 percent shooting from three-point range through their first two contests.
