The San Diego State women's basketball team, which is in the midst of a six-game stint away from home, will have a shorter distance to travel this week, as the Aztecs go across town to take on the University of San Diego on Tuesday at Jenny Craig Pavilion. Game time is slated for 7 p.m. PT.

The Aztecs are coming off a 1-1 road trip in which they advanced to the championship game of the Nugget Classic in Reno, defeating a solid Minnesota team, 61-59, before falling in the final minutes to host Nevada on Saturday evening, 63-61.

The loss to the Wolf Pack is SDSU's second this season by only a two-point margin and also was the second such defeat in a span of four days. Three of the Aztecs' four total losses in 2010-11 are by seven points or fewer.

USD, meanwhile, is playing its fourth-straight game on its home court and boasts a 4-1 overall mark on the campaign. The Toreros won their season-opener 72-61 at Pacific, before dropping a road game at UNLV, 66-48. Since then, they have reeled off three straight victories, while scoring over 71 points in all three outings.

San Diego State won the annual meeting between the two sides last year, posting a dominating 79-52 victory at Viejas Arena. USD, however, has won six of the last eight in the series, including four-straight at Jenny Craig Pavilion, but still trails in the series by a healthy 26-7 margin.
