Meanwhile, El Paso got their first taste of in-conference action on Friday and they started things off strong. They were the clear victors by a 39-15 margin over Jefferson.<\/p>\n

Burges better focus on containing Emma Guevara<\/a> and Marley Montanez<\/a> as the pair were huge in El Paso’s win. Guevara almost dropped a double-double with ten points and nine steals, while Montanez put up nine points. Guevara has been hot for a while, having posted two or more steals the last 23 times she’s played. The team also got some help courtesy of Anieze Martinez<\/a>, who had six points.<\/p>\n

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Burges has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 34.8 boards per game. However, it’s not like El Paso struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 30.8 rebounds. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we’ll see if one team can grab an edge.<\/p>\n

Everything came up roses for Burges against El Paso in their previous meeting back in January of 2025, as the squad secured a 69-37 victory. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Guevara, who earned 23 points and six boards. Now that she’s got a second chance to win this matchup, will the Mustangs still be able to contain Guevara? There’s only one way to find out.<\/p>\n
