Pepperdine Women’s Basketball dropped their season opener to Long Beach State 44-41 on Sunday afternoon at Firestone Fieldhouse. Redshirt freshman guard Sydney Bordonaro led the Waves with 12 points hitting 3 of 5 from three while sophomore forward Yasmine Robinson-Bacote added 10 points and 8 rebounds.
“It was a tough shooting game for us, but it was a learning process,” Head Coach Ryan Weisenberg said. “It’s just our second game together, first of the season, so we’ll just get back to work before Tuesday.”
Following a low scoring first quarter, Pepperdine jumped out to a 20-8 lead in the second behind Bordonaro’s hot shooting that keyed an 11-0 run.
