Erin Condron, who scored a Division I program record 32 points in Thursday’s win over Long Beach State, added 12 points, five rebounds and three blocks for the league-leading Tritons (17-6, 12-1 Big West).
Bailey Flavell scored a team-high 18 points and Imani Perez added eight rebounds, three blocks and three steals for the Rainbow Wahine (12-10, 6-6), who had a six-game winning streak come to an end.
