WOMEN
BYU 81, USF 47
USF had a horrific shooting night, hitting just 13-of-61 shots (21.3 percent) as BYU (15-4, 5-3) rushed out to an early lead and never looked back. The Dons (7-12, 2-6 WCC) scored just 15 points in the first half. Zhane Dikes was the lone USF player to finish in double figures with 13 points.
SAN DIEGO 79, SANTA CLARA 55
