SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Returning home to the friendly comforts of War Memorail at the Sobrato Center, the USF Dons women's basketball team (8-2) earned their sixth straight victory on Wednesday evening with a 94-66 victory over the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions (1-8) in front of the home fans. 

The Dons offense got to work in the second half as they scored a season-high 94 points against the Golden Lions led by Ioanna Krimili's 26 points while Debora dos Santos and Jasmine Gayles each finished with 17 points as dos Santos also came away with her team-high third double-double of the season with 12 rebounds against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. USF did tremendous work inside the arc as they shot a staggering 60% on their two-point attempts in route to the win.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

• The Dons raced out to an early advantage on their home floor as they grabbed a quick 10-1 lead through the first five minutes of play as buckets from Krimili, Amy Baum, Kennedy Dickie and dos Santos had USF rolling early as they shared the ball at a high level. Arkansas-Pine Bluff was able to creep a bit closer later in the quarter with a strong defensive effort and a pair of three-point makes as the Dons held an 18-13 lead after the first quarter.
• Both defenses continued to make things difficult on their opponent in the second quarter as the physical play led to a lot of whistles on both sides as the Dons were able to build their lead to double digits on a fast break lay up from Gayles to make it 28-17. USF was able to hold the Golden Lions to just 10 points in the quarter as they headed into the locker room holding a 37-23 lead.
• Shots started to fall for both teams following the break as USF got the first two shots to fall of the half as a Krimili pull up jumper and a Jessica McDowell-White three point shot pushed the Dons' lead up to 19. The Golden Lions were able to get the deficit down to 13 points midway through the quarter as they got to the free throw line 10 times before USF regained their footing as Krimili buried a three point shot to push the Dons' lead to 60-40 heading into the final quarter.
• Already leading by a sizable margin, the Dons' offense kept clicking on the offensive end as they put together their highest scoring quarter of the season by dropping 34 points in the final frame. Dickie exploded in the quarter for USF as she scored 12 points and went a perfect 4-of-4 from the field and the Dons totaled 10 assists as they ran away with the 94-66 win to pick up their sixth victory at War Memorial this season.

POST GAME WITH THE DONS:

• USF head women's basketball coach Molly Goodenbour -- "It was another good team win against a scrappy Arkansas-Pine Bluff team. We shared the ball really well and got a chance to play a lot of different lineups. We did a good job of getting easy baskets versus their press and full court pressure."
