Southwest will have to keep a close watch on Katie Aguirre and Samantha Olivia, a pair of players who had a big impact on Ferguson's prior game. Aguirre had 33 digs and three assists, while Olivia had 13 assists and seven digs. Denisse Gonzalez also deserves some recognition as she had her first blocks of the season.
