3/2/2019 7:14:00 PM | Women's Basketball
PORTLAND, Ore. – The Pepperdine women's basketball team had three players in double digits in Saturday's 84-60 loss to West Coast Conference foe Portland. It was the final regular season game for seniors Megan House (Oceanside, Cali./J Serra Catholic HS), Yasmine Robinson-Bacote (Hillside, N.J./Hillside HS) and Keyari Sleezer (Medford, Ore./South Medford HS).
The Waves (19-9, 12-5 WCC) clawed back to within six in the third but were ultimately outscored by Portland (13-16, 5-13 WCC) 30-19 in the fourth.
BIG WAVES
The Waves started off slow, only scoring seven points in the first quarter but used an 8-4 run in the second to cut the Pilots' lead down to four. Turnovers proved costly on both sides as each team recorded eight in the first half, as Sitaangan, Malia Bambrick and Mia Satie picked two, one and one steals respectively.
Pepperdine kept the Pilots to 30 points in the first half but let go in the second as the Pilots went on a run, scoring 25 in the third quarter and 30 in the fourth. As a team, the Waves shot 30 percent from field goal range, 15 percent from beyond the arc and went 12-19 from the charity stripe.
UP NEXT
Pepperdine travels to Las Vegas for the West Coast Conference Championship where they have earned two byes and play game six of the tournament. The third-seeded Waves take on the winner of two days of contests at 3:00 P.M. on Saturday, March 9th at Orleans Arena.
