The University of Redlands women's basketball team made the trek to Thousand Oaks last night with hopes of avenging its four-point loss to the Regals of Cal Lutheran University from earlier this season. Not only did the Bulldogs accomplish that, they did so in dominating fashion with an impressive 69-40 victory on the road, solidifying their spot in second place among the conference foes.

Redlands opened the game with a 4-0 lead and then quickly owned a 10-1 advantage when sophomore forward Courtney Carroll (Rancho Palos Verdes, CA) made two of her game-high 14 points. From here, it was all Bulldogs as the game was never in question with a 22-point halftime lead and a 29-point difference at the final whistle.

Carroll added 10 rebounds to her 14 points for her 13th double-double of the season. She also added one block to her school-record tally for 41 on the season.

Junior guard Mariah Barbetti-Cort (Ventura, CA) put up 12 points and five boards, while senior forward Meghan Yetman (Danville, CA) contributed nine points, eight rebounds and four assists.

Seven other Bulldogs chipped in three or more points with a total of 12 players seeing time on the floor.

Redlands shot 44% from the field, compared to Cal Lu's showing of 28%. The Bulldogs appeared to struggle from beyond the arc with a 29.4% display, but the Regals simply could not hit from long range, going 0-for-11. The Maroon and Gray sank 20 of their 27 free-throw attempts, while Cal Lu went 12-for-24.

With the victory, the Bulldogs (19-5, 11-2 SCIAC) have now matched the program's win record that they established last season.

Redlands faces off with Occidental College (20-4, 12-1 SCIAC) at 5 p.m. on Saturday in Eagle Rock for a share of the conference championship. The result also holds seeding implications for the SCIAC Postseason Tournament, which begins on Thursday, Feb. 25.
