PHOENIX — Over six minutes remained in the fourth quarter and Gabriela Jaquez was already receiving a standing ovation as she subbed off the court.
It might not have been their prettiest game, but the Bruins found a way to win once again.
They overcame four lead changes, three errors and two game-changing wild pitches to take down the Trojans and remain perfect in Big Ten conference play.
The Bruins have more home runs this season than they have ever had before.
With three home runs Saturday night and an NCAA runner-up 110 home runs on the season, the Bruins set a new program single-season home run record.
