Coming off of a victory against Pepperdine University last week, the University of San Diego women’s basketball team continued their momentum during Saturday afternoon’s game at the Jenny Craig Pavilion. Donning their pink-and-white breast cancer awareness uniforms, USD muscled their way to a 51-40 victory over Santa Clara University behind strong performances from both Maya Hood and Aubrey Ward-El.

The Toreros raced to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, not allowing a single point until the beginning of the second quarter.
