REDLANDS, Calif. – The University of Redlands women's basketball team (12-3, 5-2) lost a high-scoring game 83-77 against Pomona-Pitzer College (P-P) Monday evening.

In the opening quarter there were six ties before Olivia McIntyre and Leila Hosn capped the first quarter on a 6-1 run which gave the Bulldogs a four-point lead, 22-18, at the end of 10 minutes.

Teagan McIlroy knocked down a jumper to reclaim the lead, 26-25, but the Sagehens would outscore the Bulldogs 12-7 as they went out in front by four, 37-33, at the half.

Following a missed three on the offensive end, P-P came down and hit a three to extend their lead to seven, 49-42, with 4:53 to play.

A couple of minutes later with 39 seconds left McIntyre again got into the paint which tied the game, at 56, for the first time since McIlroy gave them the lead with 6:12 left in the first half.

P-P, however, responded with a 12-2 run from the last seconds on the third through the first three minutes of the fourth which gave them a 10-point lead, 68-58.

Coming out of a timeout, Hosn forced a turnover which led to a Kayden Sanders three. Wick followed with a pair of jumpers before Sanders made her third three to help Redlands draw to within two, 70-68.

The Sagehens, though, closed out the game with a 7-of-9 mark at the free throw line for the Bulldogs third loss inside Currier Gymnasium.
