SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A tough shooting day for the Pacific women's basketball program resulted in a 63-50 defeat Sunday to UC Santa Barbara at the Thunderdome.

The Tigers (5-6) were 15-of-50 (.300) from the field and 1-of-11 (.091) from long range. Still, Pacific garnered three double-figure scoring performances including senior Elizabeth Elliott with 16 points and seven rebounds.

Elliott was 12-of-12 from the free throw line. It matched the most free throws made by a Tiger since 2022 when graduate Liz Smith hit 12. Elliott also finished the game with 599 career rebounds and her next board will make her the 15th Tiger in program history to reach that milestone and the most recent addition since her assistant coach, Valerie Higgins.

Smith tallied 11 points and four assists and played all 40 minutes. Senior Anaya James ended with 11 points and was 5-of-11 from the field.

Pacific notched six blocks including a trio from junior Lauren Glazier. Sophomore Marina Radocaj matched her career-high for the third time this season with two and sophomore Nyah Lowery finished with a block.

Joined by junior Sydney Ward, both Radocaj and Glazier are over 10 blocks on the season. If current projections hold, three more Tigers will join the trio in the double-digit block club to run the team's total to six. Six players with 10 or more blocks would match head coach Bradley Davis' most in a single season since his first season at the helm in 2015-16.

Coming up next for Pacific is its West Coast Conference road opener against Portland on December 21. The Tigers won the last meeting with the Pilots but have dropped the last three in the Chiles Center. Tipoff Saturday is set for 3:30 p.m. on ESPN+.
