Freshman Jovana Jevtovic Records Career High 18 Points
LAKE TAHOE – The California women's basketball team had four players score in double figures led by Jovana Jevtovic's career-high 18 points (8-for-9) in a dominating 87-65 win over San Francisco at the Caesars Lake Tahoe Classic on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Bears' (3-0) win over USF (1-1) marked their third straight by over 20 points.
Joining Jevtovic in double-figure scoring were Taylor Barnes (14), Ruby Perkins (12) and Gisella Maul (10). Lulu Twidale led the game with nine rebounds and she along with Maul (8) and Perkins (7) combined for 24 of Cal's 45 rebounds. For the third-straight game the Bears reached the 80-point mark.
Cal went on a 5-0 run capped by a Ruby Perkins 3-point play to take a 7-5 lead with just under six minutes left in the first quarter and extended its lead to 14-7 after Maul got fouled on a layup and converted the 3-point play. Cal held San Francisco to just 1-of-7 from the field over the last 3:30 of the quarter and took a 22-12 lead heading into the second.
Cal went up 34-21 after Jevtovic connected on three consecutive layups with just over five minutes remaining in the quarter. The Bears increased their lead to 38-21 after Shannon Dowell got fouled on a 3-point make and made the free throw. Jevtovic paced the team in scoring with nine in the first half and the Bears took a 45-28 lead into the break.
The Bears opened the third quarter on 10-2 run capped by a Twidale 3-point play on a driving layup. Jevtovic made a layup with 2:13 left to remain perfect (5-for-5) from the field and put Cal up by 21. Cal converted on four-straight field goals in the fourth quarter capped off by a Perkins 3-pointer with 3:12 left that put the Bears up 83-59. The closest the Dons got in the second half was 17 to start the fourth quarter, but the Bears quickly pushed the lead back over 20 and maintained it for the remainder of the game.
"I think USF is a good team and they play hard and with toughness, so I think this is a good win for us," Cal head coach Charmin Smith said. "We did some things well defensively to force them into tough shots, and then we were able to get what we wanted offensively for the most part. We had too many turnovers, but it was a good performance. Overall, I think the grittiness was on display to start the game. Just really crashing the boards, putting them in tough spots."
