PROVO, Utah -- Coming into Saturday afternoon's game against the No. 16 BYU Cougars (18-1, 8-0), the USF Dons (10-11, 4-5) knew they would have their work cut out for them against the standings leader in the WCC. The Cougars came to play in front of their hometown as they left Marriott Center with the 99-58 victory over the Dons.

Kennedy Dickie led the way for USF as she scored a team-high 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Dons. Ioanna Krimili scored 15 points for USF as the team's second leading scorer on Saturday afternoon.

• The Cougars and Dons both emptied the benches midway through the fourth quarter as BYU came away with the 99-58 victory on Saturday.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
