Pepperdine Women’s Basketball is on a roll and making serious noise in the West Coast Conference (WCC) race.
With senior star Yasmine Robinson-Bacote leading the way, the Waves avenged prior road defeats at Pacific and Saint Mary’s. Pepperdine prevailed 96-76 over the Tigers 96-76 on Feb. 21 and 77-72 over Gaels on Feb. 23.
“We were definitely trying to keep the streak alive,” Robinson-Bacote said. “We’ve been playing really good basketball for the past month.”
The Waves’ most recent loss came Jan. 26 against Pacific, and the team recalled that they had only one day to prepare for that matchup against the Tigers, which resulted in an 11-point loss for Pepperdine.
