No. 2 seeded Baylor women’s basketball let loose in the second half to beat No. 15 seeded University of Hawaii at Manoa 89-49 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Friday afternoon at the Ferrell Center.
Graduate guard Jordan Lewis led the Bears in scoring with 23 points, missing just one shot from the floor (7-of-8). She also dished out five assists and grabbed eight rebounds. Head coach Nicki Collen said the play of Lewis will be key to the Bears making a deep run in the tournament.
