Los Angeles — Four Tigers scored in double figures and Grace Baranowski pulled down 12 rebounds as the Occidental women's basketball team outlasted La Verne in a nail-biting victory 64-61 Tuesday night.

Triana Anderson paced the Tigers offense with 16 points, while Dru Ishibashi, Paige Waters and Midori McElwee all added 11.

Oxy outscored La Verne 22-13 in the first quarter on over 60 percent shooting from the field. The Tigers offense cooled down in the following two quarters, but clutch plays down the stretch from Anderson and Ishibashi helped secure an Oxy victory 

Erin Matsumoto paced Oxy on the defensive end, finishing the game with three steals and five defensive rebounds. 

From the Coach: "We stuck together. We played really well as a team—sharing the ball, being ready, shooting with confidence—and that was a big key in the win tonight," said head coach Anahit Aladzhanyan.

Season Impact: The Tigers earn their third win of the regular season, improving to 7-11 overall and 3-6 in SCIAC. Tonight's win snaps a two-game losing streak.

Next Game: Oxy will be back in action at Chapman on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m.
