The Bulldogs fell behind early in the first round, but then outscored UC Irvine 65-39 over the final three periods to win 75-56, pounding the ball inside and shooting as efficiently as any team from inside the arc.
Yvonne Ejim led all scorers and finished with a 25 point, 14 rebound double-double. Kayleigh Truong added 16 points and five assists while Brynna Maxwell finished with 11 points as the only other double-figure scorers. They will need another big night from Ejim going against one of the best interior players in the country today.
This season Pili has stepped up even more than last season leading, the team with 21.0 points per game. The Utes are 13-4 this season when Pili goes for at least 20-plus points. If Pili wins the matchup today with Ejim, the Utes could continue dancing into the Sweet 16 for the second straight season.
