USC Women Stumble At UC Santa Barbara
November 18, 2019 | Women's Basketball, Features
Trojans take a 57-46 road loss to the Gauchos.
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. — The USC women's basketball team couldn't get over the hump tonight in Santa Barbara, holding only a slim lead for a short time while host UC Santa Barbara consistently found the buckets it needed to keep the Trojans at bay. Somewhat short-handed, USC got as close as two points away in the fourth but fell 57-46 on the road to the Gauchos. USC goes to 3-1 overall with the loss, while UC Santa Barbara goes to 2-2.
It was a fairly frigid start for the Trojans, who went just 2-of-7 from the free-throw line in the first half and were 2-of-10 from 3-point land as they trailed UCSB 34-26 at the break. The Gauchos had gone 9-of-11 from the stripe in the first half, and nailed three 3-pointers to keep a leg up on their visitors 20 minutes deep into the game. By the final buzzer, the Gauchos had gathered 22 points off USC's 19 turnovers while finishing up 17-of-21 from the line and 32.1 percent from the floor. USC, meanwhile, was just 2-of-8 from the line and shot 37 percent from the floor. Alissa Pili and Endyia Rogers led USC with 10 points apiece, while UC Santa Barbara received a game-high 21 points from Ila Lane and 12 from Danae Miller.
After USC took its first lead of the game on an Alissa Pili bucket to start the second quarter, a 5-0 solo run from Endyia Rogers got USC to a 25-23 lead. That would be swiftly countered by an 11-0 scoring rally by the Gauchos, and USC would find itself down by nine before a long free throw wrapped the half at 34-26 UCSB. USC would be unable to get any closer than three points away from the Gauchos in the third. A 3-pointer from Aliyah Jeune had the deficit at 38-35 midway through the third, but USC was behind 45-39 at the end of the frame. In the fourth, Alyson Miura drained a big three with 4:30 to go, making it 48-46, only to see Lane's inside game generate six of UCSB's final 9-0 run to finish things out as a 57-46 Gaucho victory.
USC had eight players suited up for action tonight, with four sidelined by injury. Both Stephanie Watts and Kayla Overbeck are expected to be ready to go for next game, but were unavailable tonight due to injuries. Madison Campbell and Shalexxus Aaron have not competed yet this season due to injury.
NEXT:
The Women of Troy heads home to Galen Center this weekend, setting up to host No. 6 Texas A&M at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday (Nov. 23). It's a chance for USC fans to take in a doubleheader, with football facing UCLA at 12:30 p.m. at the Coliseum before women's basketball takes on the Aggies at 5:30 p.m.
