Pacific women's basketball (9-3, 2-0 WCC) picked up its third straight win and remained perfect in WCC play with a 76-66 victory over Portland (8-6, 0-3 WCC).
It was a wire-to-wire victory for the Tigers, but the Pilots rallied in the fourth quarter to cut what was at one point a 21-point lead down to as little as six, but Pacific held on thanks to clutch free throws and a big steal from Valerie Higgins that led to a transition bucket from Ameela Li to lock up the victory.
Higgins and Brooklyn McDavid both notched double-doubles extending their streak to three and two games respectively while Ameela Li scored 21 for her second game with at least 20 points in a row and her fourth of the season.
