A 26-point deficit lit a fire in Candice White that led to a scoring effort unlike any in the history of Fresno State women’s basketball.
White finished with 40 points on 17-of-28 shooting, setting the school record for points in a game.
“Honestly, I wasn’t too aware. One of my coaches told me, ‘It’s March, you never know what could happen in March.’ That was my focus in the second half, just, you never know what could happen, let’s try and get this win,” White said.
The herculean effort was not enough, though, and Fresno State was sent home from the Women’s Basketball invitational, losing 86-74 to Nevada.
