Santa Clara holds on to defeat Pacific
Pacific women's basketball (16-9, 9-6 WCC), fell on senior day to Santa Clara (11-14, 4-10 WCC), 88-83.
Pacific's offense struggled to get going in the game shooting just 32% as a team, while Santa Clara shot 50%. However, the Broncos were careless with the ball and turned it over 22 times to help the Tigers stay in the game. Pacific made it a close one late in a high-scoring fourth quarter, but could not complete the comeback.
Pacific's sophomore guard Valerie Higgins led the Tigers with 26 points, 13 of which came from the free throw line. Senior guard Ameela Li had 17 points and Brooklyn McDavid had 17 points as well in the victory.
