Pasadena, Calif. - Sophomore guard Alaina Woo knocked down eight three-pointers on her way to a career-high 25 points to help the Pomona-Pitzer Women's Basketball team overcome a slow start and capture a 68-60 win over Caltech on Wednesday evening. 

With the win, the Sagehens improve to 3-14 overall and 2-6 in the SCIAC, while Caltech remains winless at 0-19 overall and 0-10 in the conference. Woo was 8-16 from three-point territory overall to pass her previous career high of four three-pointers, set last year against La Verne (when she had a career-high 19 points). 

The Beavers led by as many as eight points in the first half (23-15), but Woo was able to knock down three-pointers on two straight possessions late in the half to help the Sagehens take a 31-30 lead into intermission. 

After an exchange of baskets to start the second half, Woo knocked down three-pointers on three separate occasions to push the lead to six each time, and then hit her eighth of the game (including six straight successful attempts) to put the Sagehens ahead 51-44 with 11:21 to play. Junior forward Amelia Hummel added a three-point play and a layup off a pass from Woo to push the lead to 10 points (56-46) with 8:41 to go and Pomona-Pitzer was able to hang on from there.

Sophomore forward Basha Brulee-Wills (12 points, 15 rebounds) had a double-double to lead the frontcourt, while Hummel almost had a double-double as well and was in striking distance of a triple-double (nine points, 13 rebounds, seven assists). Woo finished the day with 24 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals, while freshman guard Anya Quig was also in double figures with 10 points.  

Stephanie Wong led Caltech with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Kate Lewis also had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds and Bridget Connor added 17 points and eight rebounds. 

Pomona-Pitzer is back in action on Saturday when it hosts Chapman for a 5 p.m. contest.
