JAZZY DAVIDSON, pictured on Nov. 21, had 18 points Friday to help No. 18 USC beat Pepperdine 82-52.
Both teams had a slow scoring momentum in the first quarter with multiple missed shots, but the No. 18 Trojans (5-2) used aggressive defense to secure an 11-point lead.
Trojans guard Jazzy Davidson opened the second quarter with a three-pointer, followed by a layup from Kara Dunn and another from Vivian Iwuchukwu, plus a free throw to complete a three-point play, helping USC open a 29-10 lead.
Pepperdine (4-2) tried to cut into USC’s early lead but struggled to overcome 11 first-half turnovers. The Waves gained most of their first-half points from USC fouls.
USC closed the first half leading 47-26.
