Last Time Out

---

The San Francisco women's basketball team rebounded from Monday's heartbreaker with a 74-57 victory over North Dakota on Wednesday at War Memorial at The Sobrato Center.

"It's not about the loss, it's about how we react to the loss," noted senior captain Zhane Dikes. "For us to come back and react, play together, play smarter and clean up those errors that we had in the two past games really shows that we're a great team when we're together."

USF (3-2) reacted with gusto, particularly on the defensive end of the court, holding North Dakota (1-4) to 20 percent shooting in the first half. The Fighting Hawks could only manage four points in the first 10 minutes of the action, shooting 2-of-15 in the quarter as the Dons make short work of the boards with the 15-5 advantage on the glass.

USF was led by Proctor's 20-point night, her fourth-straight contest reaching the 20-point plateau. She added eight rebounds and a game-high five assists to her stat line. Dikes turned in a 19-point nine-rebound game for USF, going 6-for-9 from the floor, and Howard chipped in 10 points in the victory.
