History

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara women’s basketball pulled away late for an 81-63 win over Fresno State Sunday afternoon from Leavey Center. The Broncos (5-2) had a double-digit lead at the half before the Bulldogs (3-3) made it close in the third, but Santa Clara rebuilt its lead in the fourth to pick up the victory.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:


Santa Clara started the game with back-to-back triples and scored the first 10 points of the day to build the early lead, but Ashlyn Rean stepped up and scored all eight in an 8-1 run for Fresno State to make it a three-point game. After some back and forth, the Broncos held an 18-15 lead after the first.
The second started with Santa Clara stretching its lead out to eight with back-to-back bucket. A 3-pointer for the Bulldogs made it a six-point game with 4:15 left in the period before the Broncos scored the final eight of half to take a 40-26 lead into the break.
Fresno State turned it on in the third and used an 8-0 run early on to get within 42-36. The Bulldogs would score five in a row later in the period to get within 47-45 but Ashley Hawkins followed with five in a row and then scored the final three of the third to give her team the 55-48 lead heading to the fourth.
Fresno State hung around to start the fourth, cutting the deficit to two three different times but couldn’t pull even and Santa Clara finally started to put some distance between the teams with a 14-1 run that made it a 73-58 game with 1:58 to go. The Broncos would finish the game on an 8-2 run to put all doubt away.
