Pepperdine Women’s Baske tbal l topped 100 points for the first time in 12 years, beating Azusa Pacific University (APU) 100-32 in their one and only exhibition game at Firestone Fieldhouse on Oct. 28.
The Waves led 21-5 after one quarter and 48-10 at halftime, holding the Cougars to five points in each of the first two periods.
Pepperdine added 27 points in the third quarter for a 75-26 lead, though a technical foul on each team — including one by freshman center Evelyn Martyn — briefly roughened the game. The Waves closed with 25 buckets in the fourth quarter.
The victory marked the program’s first 100-point game since a 100-93 win over Santa Clara University in 2014, and the first under Head Coach Katie Faulkner , according to Pepperdine Athletics.
