PORTLAND, Ore. --- The UC Davis Aggies built an early lead before claiming a 72-47 win over the Portland Pilots in a non-conference women's basketball played on Sunday afternoon at the Chiles Center. Ellie Woerner led the Pilots in scoring for the fourth time this season, finishing with 10 points.
 
The Pilots (2-5) hung around in the first quarter after the Aggies (4-2) opened the game with a three-pointer. Ashely Gray hit a 10-foot jumper and Woerner followed with a three-pointer moments later to pull the Pilots within 7-5 about two and a half minutes in. Portland was still within three when Kaylie Van Loo knocked down a jumper, but the quarter would end with UC Davis leading 24-11.
 
The UC Davis lead would grow from there, before the Pilots climbed back into the game in the third quarter. Trailing by 19, Hannah Mattson drilled back-to-back three-pointers to spark an 11-1 run for the Pilots. Van Loo then connected on a pull-up jumper from inside the lane, and just like that Portland was within 44-35 halfway through the third.
 
But the Aggies regrouped and quickly pushed their lead to 20 points en route to the win.
 
Woerner, a freshman wing out of Sammamish, Wash., has scored in double figures in five of her seven collegiate games. Mattson finished with three three-pointers and nine points, while Corissa Turley chipped in with eight points off the bench. Van Loo collected a career high with six assists, while matching a career-best five rebounds.
