Women’s basketball defeated Utah Valley 58–57 on Saturday at Moody Coliseum, earning the program’s 250th win in the Division I era. Breanna Davis secured the victory with a go-ahead layup with 14 seconds remaining, scoring four points in the final 45 seconds. Aimee Flippen added a career-best 10 points, while Payton Hull finished with 11 points in 40 minutes. The Wildcats will host California Baptist on Thursday at 6 p.m., then head to UT Arlington on Saturday before traveling to the WAC Tournament in Las Vegas starting March 11.
