SANTA BARBARA, CA – Inside Murchison Gymnasium for the final game of a three-part Pacific West Conference Southern California road trip, Menlo Women's Basketball responded to six first quarter triples from Westmont by shooting over 54 percent in the second and third quarters, but the Warriors continued to capitalize on second chances toward an 87-57 victory on Saturday.

Oaks Highlights
-Alberte Frisch led the team in scoring for the sixth time this season, putting in 19 points with a career-high eight assists as well as four rebounds and three steals
-Knocking down three 3-pointers for the fourth time in 2025-26, Frida Schmidt ended with 13 points

Menlo In Offensive Rhythm In Second, Third Quarters
Though an early 3-pointer from senior guard Jayonna Carter was soon followed by a sophomore forward Zoe Carrillo's layup, Menlo found themselves down 12-5 after Westmont's fourth triple to open the contest. Five quick points by senior guard Alberte Frisch were supported with a 3-pointer off the hands of graduate student forward Frida Schmidt yet a 10-2 run from Westmont to end the quarter put them in front 28-14.

The Warriors would cool off from long range, making just one in the second frame, but the margin between the two teams would not shift much as they traded baskets while the Oaks shot over 54 percent from the field. Another strong finish to the quarter allowed Westmont to head into the locker room up 43-26.

Multiple scoring bursts that included scores from Schmidt and one with multiple layups by redshirt freshman guard Nadia Brown kept Menlo in a position to make a fourth-quarter comeback, but 15 points was as close as the Oaks would come with the Warriors pushing to an 87-57 win in the end.
