AZUSA, Calif. – Posting a double-double for the 12th consecutive time since early December, Academy of Art women's basketball sophomore forward/center Alisha Wilson broke the program's career double-doubles record with her 28th (11 points, 14 rebounds) in a 74-48 loss to No. 18 Azusa Pacific inside Felix Event Center on Thursday.

The Cougars came out of the gate strong, scoring six straight before senior guard Lauryn Manns nailed a 3-pointer to put ART U on the board. From there, a 9-0 APU run enabled the home team to build a 26-9 advantage following the first quarter. Junior guard Ashana Hinds connected from long range early in the second to bring the Knights into double digits, but eight consecutive points from Azusa Pacific helped eventually make it a 41-20 halftime score.

Both sides traded baskets in the early part of the second half as five consecutive field goals made began with a jumper by sophomore guard Jadence Clifton before a layup by sophomore forward/center Christy Ojide were supported by multiple makes and another Manns triple. The margin came down to 17 points on multiple occasions as ART U outscored the Cougars 21-18 in the frame, but a 12-0 run just under three minutes into the fourth allowed APU to prevail 74-48.

Academy of Art moves to 5-15 on the year and 5-10 in conference action with the trio of Manns (12 points), Wilson (11 points), and Ojide (10 points) all scoring in double figures. Adding 14 rebounds and five steals, Wilson's 28th career double-double matched her season-best from last year and surpassed the program's previous record-holder Jasmin Guinn. Freshman guard Kyla Wandick provided five assists for her second-highest total of the season.

The Cougars, now 19-3 overall and 14-1 in PacWest play, got 20 points apiece from Kelly Heimburger and Paige Uyehara.

On Saturday, Feb. 4, ART U finishes its Southern California road trip with a 1:30 p.m. tip-off versus Biola in La Mirada, Calif.
