Provo • Brenna Chase Drollinger made four 3-pointers in the fourth period to help BYU women’s basketball defeat Pepperdine 66-64 in the Marriott Center on Thursday.

“We didn’t play one of our best games tonight, but we found a way to win,” BYU head coach Jeff Judkins said.

BYU (17-10, 12-5 WCC) took a 66-64 lead on two free throws by Paisley Johnson with 32 seconds left. Then Jasmine Moody pulled down a defensive rebound and was fouled with two seconds left. She split her free throws to make it 66-64, and a half-court heave by the Waves (14-13, 8-9) was off the mark.

Drollinger finished the game with 17 points and a team-high six assists. Johnson scored a game-high 21 points. Sara Hamson had 10 rebounds and seven blocks.

The Cougars’ Hobbs Nyberg finished a home run short of hitting for the cycle, going 3 for 5 with two RBIs and a run.
