In Thursday's win over Chico State, which came into the game undefeated in conference play, Buggs scored 22 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and had five assists in a 90-84 overtime win. She scored eight of the Broncos' 10 points in overtime, including going 4-for-4 from the free throw line and grabbing three rebounds. 

Buggs followed up on Saturday with a 17-point, six-rebound, five-assist performance against Cal Poly Humboldt. She went 5-of-11 from the field and 5-of-5 at the free throw line. She added two 3-pointers, a steal and a block.
