BYU basketball: Cougars fall to Toreros in first WCC matchup of season

BYU women’s basketball fell to San Diego, 78-65, in its first game of West Coast Conference play on Wednesday, despite 23 points from senior guard Lexi Eaton Rydalch.

"We played out of sync today," BYU head coach Jeff Judkins said. "We didn't have the energy and urgency we needed to win the game. We also didn't defend as well as we usually do and we got outrebounded. We had chances, but we couldn't make the baskets we needed to. We'll have to play better as conference play goes on."

Rydalch led all scorers with a game-high 23 points to go along with six rebounds and four assists, while teammate Kalani Purcell recorded her fifth double-double of the year scoring 14 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
