RENO, Nev. --- Portland's Darian Slaga scored 17 points off the bench and Kaylie Van Loo flirted with a triple-double at Nevada, but the Wolf Pack held on for a 72-59 win over the Pilots on Sunday afternoon at the Lawlor Events Center. Corissa Turley added 12 points for the Pilots (0-2).
Slaga just misses a career-high in scoring, and she was on fire to begin the game, making her first three shots from the field. With the Pilots trailing, the sophomore guard hit back-to-back three-pointers to give the visitors a 15-13 lead. Portland still held a slight lead moments later, but the Wolf Pack was able to take a 22-18 cushion into the second quarter.
