Sophomore forward Yasmine Robinson-Bacote scored 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting as Pepperdine Women’s Basketball hung on to a late lead down the stretch for a 59-58 win at Firestone Fieldhouse on Thursday night.

Robinson-Bacote had 10 rebounds for her seventh double-double of the season, and freshman center Megan House added 14 points and 8 rebounds for the Waves, who picked up its fifth win in its past seven games to move atop the West Coast Conference standings at 3-2.

“We’re playing really good team basketball right now on both offense and defense,” Head Coach Ryan Weisenberg said.
