One aspect of the game Delaney-Smith has no concerns over is the offense.
"We can score--that's not a problem," she said. "We get in positions right and we get things done."
The Crimson is a huge underdog against Stephen F. Austin. Ladyjack forward Shawnta Johnson leads the offensive attack while senior guard Stephanie Whitmore chips in with assists and steals.
A more experienced and deep team, Stephen F. Austin shouldn't have a problem against Harvard.
The UTSA Roadrunners have mostly new faces and a new coach who will try to reverse last year's disappointing record. Last season, while the team was able to hold its opponents' shooting percentage to 43%, it ranked last in the Southland Conference in offensive shooting percentage and points scored.
The Roadrunners are led by senior forward Keelah Wilson, the team's leading shot blocker, who will have the difficult task of leading ten new players into battle.
"I think we need to play well, the outcome is secondary this early in the season," Delaney-Smith said. "We didn't feel good after the exhibition. Kate Ides and the other freshmen weren't as relaxed as they could be."
