EDINBURG - California Baptist University women's basketball saw seven players score in double-figures on Saturday as the Lancers blew away the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, 94-78, in the UTRGV Fieldhouse. The Lancers shot a season-high 61.0 percent from the field on their way to improving their record to 18-5 overall and 9-3 in Western Athletic Conference play.

Ane Olaeta (15), Caitlyn Harper (14), and Sydney Palma (14) led the scoring charge for the Lancers, with Palma and Olaeta adding nine and eight assists apiece. Britney Thomas had a near double-double with 13 points and eight boards.

This was the fourth game this season that had five or more Lancers scoring in double-figures. Previously, the feat had been accomplished against San Diego State, Northern Arizona (six players), and Dixie State. Each quarter saw the Lancers increase their lead in bunches as the Lancers went on a run of at least 6-0 in each frame.
