PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland freshman Ellie Woerner scored 14 points and the Pilots out-scored No. 22 Brigham Young in the second half, but the Cougars jumped out to an early lead before a claiming an 84-59 win in a West Coast Conference women's basketball game played on Thursday night at the Chiles Center.
The game was close early as both Julie Spencer and Sara Zaragoza knocked down a handful of buckets. With about three minutes left in the first in the first quarter, the pair exchanged field goals and the Pilots were within 14-12.
But that's when BYU embarked on a run that would stretch into the second quarter and allow the Cougars to take control of the game.
