No. 18 Arizona Outlasts USC 65-57 in L.A.
01/03/2020 | Women's Basketball
LOS ANGELES – Aari McDonald scored 24 points and Cate Reese had her second-straight double-double as No. 18 Arizona took down USC by a score of 65-57 on Friday night. The Wildcats extended their winning streak to 19 dating back to last season, the longest active streak in the nation.
McDonald, whose game-high 24 points paced the Cats, also grabbed six boards, had five steals and dished out three assists. She was 7-8 from the free throw line.
Reese, who now has five double-doubles on the season, scored 17 points to go along with 11 boards and was a perfect 5-5 from the line. Semaj Smith was huge on the glass today, grabbing a career-high 12 rebounds.
Once again, the Wildcats forced their opponent to shoot below 40% as they have done so in each game but one this season.
