Pepperdine women hand No. 25 BYU second straight loss

MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Yasmine Robinson-Bacote had 17 points and 11 rebounds, Barbara Sitanggan added 16 points with six rebounds and five assists and Pepperdine handed No. 25 BYU its second-straight loss, 79-65 on Saturday.

The game started 45 minutes late because of a flash flood warning and mudslide in Malibu Canyon.

The Waves (13-8, 7-4 West Coast Conference) closed the first half with a 15-2 run to lead 39-29 the half. Robinson-Bacote had four free throws and Rose Pflug made a pair of 3-pointers.

The Cougars (17-5, 9-2), who had their 11-game winning streak end with a 61-58 loss at Loyola Marymount on Thursday, got no closer than seven in the third quarter.
