BOX SCORE
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- Reshea Bristol scored eight of her
game-high 21 points in the final two minutes as Arizona (No. 20 ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, No. 22 AP) beat California 64-58 Saturday.
Reserve Angela Lackey added 13 points for the Wildcats (24-6,
13-5 Pac-10), who finished tied for second in the conference
despite winning just four of their last seven. The 24 wins by the
Wildcats is a school record.
Even with the shaky final stretch, Arizona will likely receive a
fourth straight invitation Sunday to the NCAA Tournament.
Kenya Corley scored 18 points to lead California (11-17, 6-12).
Shavaki Jackson added 12 points and nine rebounds for the Bears,
who led for most of the game before being outscored 13-2 in the
final 2:26.
Arizona fell behind by as many as nine in the second half and
trailed 56-51 before Bristol's free-throw shooting helped the
Wildcats avoid the upset. Bristol made all six of her free throws
in the final two minutes and added a layup at the buzzer as Arizona
defeated California for the 10th straight time.
Arizona held the Bears' leading scorer, Paige Bowie, to seven
points on 2-of-13 shooting and forced three turnovers in the final
90 seconds to secure the win.
The Wildcats shot just 45.9 percent from the floor against the
Bears, but dominated in rebounds (35-26) and at the free-throw
line. Arizona made 28 of 37 free throws overall compared to
California's 8-of-11 from the line.
