The Chico State women’s basketball team scooped up their second win of the season over Dominican University 75-68 bringing them to a 2-0 start to the season. The Wildcats shot the lights out the gym hitting on 58.3% from beyond the arc as well as 80% from the freethrow line.

Senior forward Meadow Aargon led the way for the Wildcats ending the contest with 16 points but it was a team effort that contributed to the win as senior guard Jordan Allred, senior forward Makenzi Laporte, sophomore guard Kaila Woo and senior guard Jadence Clifton each had double-digit points.

Clifton and Laporte controlled the boards for the Wildcats combining for 10 rebounds. Meanwhile Aargon showed not only strength in scoring but led the team in assists as well.

The Wildcats will be looking to keep this momentum rolling in their first home game of the season against Menlo on Nov. 14 at 5:30 p.m. in Acker Gym. Students get in free with proof of student ID or Canvas home page, or keep up by watching the game live from home with FLOsports.
