CLAREMONT, Calif. – A fast first-quarter start not enough for Redlands women's basketball (10-10, 5-6) as they lost 64-60 at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CMS) in Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) action Wednesday evening.

AJ Wick had four points and Carly Hicks had five points to get the Bulldogs off to a strong 11-3 start. Leila Hosn then found Alex Facelo for a three at the 2:41 mark for an 11-point advantage.

Facelo would maintain that double-digit lead after 10 minutes when Hosn found her again with 43 seconds to play as Redlands led 17-7.

The defense did not allow an Anthena point until the 6:46 mark of the second, but their offense had only one point coming off a Wick free throw.

CMS would take advantage of the slow start to the quarter as they led 24-23 thanks to a 17-5 run with only 1:41 left in the half.

The offense finally got it together with another Hicks three and a pair of free throws from Hicks and Colbi Zorich, respectively, to maintain their lead, 30-28, at the half.

The Athenas scored first in the second half at the 8:38 mark when they re-took the lead. They would keep the lead for the entirety of the quarter.

The lead was as large as seven with only 55 seconds to play before Leaya McKinney scored the final four points to make it a one-possession game, 47-44, heading into the fourth.

In the opening five minutes and 20 seconds the offense continued to play well, having scored 12 points, including the last six to reclaim their lead, 56-55, with 4:40 on the clock.

CMS, though, drew and foul and made both at the line with 3:49 to play as they took the lead back and would never look back.

Hosn had a double-double with 14 points and 10 assists. Her 10 assists are tied for the seventh most in single-game program history.

Wick had 15 points and 11 rebounds. She now has 256 rebounds this season, the sixth most in single-season history. The record is 363 for Leslie Ferguson in 1994-1995.
