DAVIS, Calif. -- Senior Cierra Hall finished with nine points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals, to lead a balanced scoring effort for hos UC Davis, but visiting Washington State finished with four players in double-figures, lifting the Cougars to a 71-49 win over the Aggies in a doubleheader at the University Credit Union Center on Saturday night.

The loss snapped UC Davis' three-game winning streak, dropping the Aggies to 4-3 overall on the year. Washington State, which was receiving votes in both the latest Associated Press and USA Today coaches polls, improved to 6-1 overall with the win.

Senior Sage Stobbart, junior Lena Svanholm, and second-year freshman Bria Shine led UC Davis with five rebounds apiece, including three on the offensive glass from Shine. Svanholm added eight points off the bench for the Aggies, which received 24 points from its reserves to outscore their counterparts.

UC Davis scored the first basket of the game on a driving layup by Hall and battled to a 4-4 tie before a 9-0 run by the Cougars gave Washington State a lead it would not relinquish. The Cougars led by 10 after one and held a 39-19 lead at the break. The Aggies defense cooled off the hot-shooting Cougars in the third, holding Washington State to just 32 percent in the period, but could not make much of dent in the deficit, eventually shrinking the gap to 55-38 after a 6-0 run midway through the fourth, but would get no closer.

The Aggies finished the night shooting 42 percent from the floor to Washington State's 45 percent -- the first UC Davis opponent to shoot better than 40 percent in a game this season.

After breaking for finals, the Aggies return to the court on Monday (Dec. 13) at 4 p.m., hosting Stanislaus State.
