ABOUT TEXAS STATE
The Texas State offense is powered by sharpshooting senior guard Toshua Leavitt. A first team preseason all-conference selection, Leavitt averages a team-best 17.2 points per night which is the third-highest output in the Sun Belt Conference. She is coming off a season-best 25-point outing at UTSA and has reached double-figures in 13-consecutive ballgames dating back to the 2017-18 season.

Sophomore forward Jayla Johnson has been a consistent force off the Bobcat bench this season. She is averaging 11.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per outing, both figures rank second on the team. Johnson has posted her first five double-figure scoring outputs of her career in her last five games, including a 23-point outburst in the loss against Oral Roberts. For Johnson, 23 points marked a career-best effort and the first 20-point game by a Bobcat forward since Erin Peoples tallied 24 points against Georgia State on Feb. 14, 2015. She also netted 12 points in the victories over Nicholls and UTSA, and she scored 10 points in the loss to Montana State.

Junior guard Brooke Holle regained some traction on the offensive end of the floor in the win over the Islanders. She scored a team-best 13 points and brought down seven rebounds for the Cats. Her 13-point effort was the most points she has scored since netting 17 in the victory over Nicholls.
