MALIBU, Calif. --- Haylee Andrews finished with 22 points, nine rebounds, and six assists, Alex Fowler registered a double-double, and the Pilots recovered from a first-half deficit to open play in the West Coast Conference with a 74-64 win over the Pepperdine Waves on Monday night at Firestone Fieldhouse. Maddie Muhlheim and Liana Kaitu'u also scored in double digits for Portland with 10 points each.
After falling behind by 10 early in the second quarter, the Pilots (4-3, 1-0 WCC) went on a 14-4 run to climb back into the game. Muhlheim buried a three from the top of the key to spark the surge, and she'd follow that with three free throws to pull the Pilots within four.
