COOLIDGE — Eastern Arizona College women’s basketball continued their hot start on Wednesday night against Central Arizona College. The Monsters moved to 18-0 on the season with a 76-66 win over the Vaqueras.
EAC is setting records in the process of their 18-game winning streak, too. The previous record without a loss to start the season was set under previous head coach Ryan McAdams at 11 games. Eastern has also set a record for highest ranking ever at #10 in the NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball poll.
Angelica de Paulo is in her first year as a collegiate head coach but understands the JUCO game after playing her first two years of college basketball at New Mexico Junior College. De Paulo, a native of Brazil, was the assistant on last year’s women’s team under current men’s head coach, Cameron Turner.
The Monsters are led in scoring this season by sophomore Skye Miller (Anchorage, AK) with 14 points per game. Grand Canyon University transfer, Kassidy Dixon (Goodyear, AZ), is averaging nearly a double-double per game with 9.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, including her team high 21 last night.
The league leading Monsters will head to Chandler/Gilbert on Saturday for a 4pm tip-off. You can catch Eastern at home on January 25th at 8pm as they take on the Yavapai Roughriders.
