Home Perfection
The Knights maintained their undefeated home record at Addition Financial Arena following a victory over Austin Peay. The team established an early 25-7 lead in the first quarter and secured a five-point win, bolstered by an efficient shooting performance of 60.5 percent from the field and 80 percent (12-15) from the free-throw line. Individually, Mahogany Chandler-Roberts extended her streak of scoring at least 15 points to four consecutive home games, solidifying her role as a key contributor for the Knights.
Blasigh's Breakthrough
Miami transfer Vittoria Blasigh has emerged as a significant competitor within the conference. During her most recent performance, Blasigh matched her season high scoring 18 points, while also contributing three rebounds and three assists. Having started all four games for the Knights, she currently ranks as the team’s third-leading score. Beyond her offensive output, Blasigh is not only limited to scoring. She’s proven to be a versatile asset, notably recording 4 steals against South Alabama.
Career Knights
The Black and Gold were on fire Monday against South Alabama, with numerous players racking up career highs in their respective categories in the first game of a five-contest homestand in Additional Financial Arena. Candace Kpetikou set a career mark with 14 points on an efficient 6-for-7 performance from the floor, missing just one shot late in the fourth quarter. Nyla McFadden also found success, bringing in 11 rebounds on the evening, three offensive and seven defensive. It was an incredibly balanced performance from the sophomore, highlighted by four boards each in the second and third quarter. Vittoria Blasigh tied her career best, grabbing four steals off of turnovers from the Jaguars.
Nationally Ranked Knights
The Knights have been climbing the stats sheets in their opening three contests, finding themselves ranked towards the top in the league and in the nation in several categories. The team averages 5.5 blocks per game, good for fifth in the Big 12 and 38th in the country. With 8 total blocks on the season, Mahogany Chandler-Roberts is second in the league and 19th in the nation. The junior is on top of the conference in total field goals with 27. Vittoria Blasigh has missed just one free throw all season at 91.7 percent and is second in the Big 12.
Welcome To The Mo Show
Mahogany Chandler-Roberts has been nearly unstoppable in the first games of the 2026-27 campaign, averaging 17.6 points and 2.67 blocks per contest. She set career highs in back-to-back games, compiling 20 points at Florida before breaking that record the next game with 21 against South Alabama. A Portland, Ore., native, Chandler-Roberts denied four shots against the Jaguars in just the first quarter, breaking her previous high in blocks. As one of just three returners from a year ago, the program will continue to rely on her to produce on both offense and defense and she continues to deliver on all ends of the hardwood.
Road Lessons
Though UCF was unable to come up with the win in its first road test of the season, a lot of lessons were learned in the contest. Vittoria Blasigh had her first breakout game of the campaign after remaining quiet in the season opener, scoring 18 points with three triples and four assists. Mahogany Chandler-Roberts also exploded, setting a career high with 20 points in addition to seven rebounds. It marked just the fifth time in her three-year career that she has led the team in scoring, showing promise of a strong season from the junior.
