The University of Redlands women's basketball team wrapped up the regular season on Saturday with a 63-29 trouncing of Caltech. After a slow start early in the first half, the Bulldogs cruised to a 19-point advantage at the break and then stretched that lead to 34 points by the end of the game.

Junior forward Meghan Yetman (Danville, CA) led all scorers with 16 points, going 8-for-13 from the field. She also tallied seven rebounds, three steals, and two assists. Freshman forward Courtney Carroll (Rancho Palos Verdes, CA) and freshman forward Shada Sadeghi (Walnut Creek, CA) each chipped in 10 points to round out the Bulldogs' double-digit scorers.  Seven other players contributed points, while every member of the team earned time on the floor.  With the bench supplying 30 points, Redlands relied on a total team effort in the victory.

The Bulldogs shot only 39.1% from the field but went 8-for-10 from the charity stripe. Redlands dominated the boards with 49 rebounds, compared to Caltech's 36.

With the victory, the women's basketball team has surpassed the program's best finish by two wins.
