SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — All 11 players got into the scoring column on Saturday night as the Dominican University of California women's basketball team cruised to an 88-56 PacWest victory on Saturday night versus visiting Holy Names.

Danielle Yamauchi ran the offense to great effect, getting all of her teammates involved, and went 4-for-4 from the free throw line and dished out five assists. The 5-foot-4 guard even had a block. Five Penguins reached double digits, led by Allyssa Weatherd's 18 points, 14 rebounds, to go with six assists and a pair of steals. Carly Holboke added 16 points off the bench on 6-of-12 shooting with four three-pointers. Senior Sarah Nelson continued her stellar play with a 5-for-10 night. The nation's leading shot blocker had 11 points, 12 rebounds, and added six blocks. She now has 804 points and 710 career rebounds. Melissa Boscarino matched a career-high 15 points. Senior Lauren Hyatt added 10 points off the bench on 5-of-7 shooting with three rebounds and a pair of blocks. 

Dominican, which entered the game leading the PacWest and No. 21 in the nation, in field-goal percentage defense, limited HNU to 31.3 percent (20-of-64). Dominican also outrebounded HNU 48-39. In contrast, the Penguins shot a season-high 54.8 percent (34-of-62) from the field. Dominican also won the rebounding battle, 48-39.

After HNU scored on a pair of free throws, the Penguins jumped out to a 10-2 lead. Dominican did not allow an HNU field goal until over six minutes into the game. Carly Holboke's fast break layup gave Dominican a 10-point lead a few seconds after and the Penguins cruised to a 42-25 halftime lead. Seventy seconds into the second half, Dominican built the lead to 20 and led by 30 with seven minutes to go.
