LAIE, Hawaii - Three University of San Diego women's basketball players scored in double figures paced by Kiva Herman's 22 and Sam Child's 21 to propel the Toreros (5-3) to an 93-61 win over BYU-Hawaii Friday evening in a non-conference game.

Morgan Henderson recorded her second double-double of the season with 13 points and had a team-best 10 rebounds. As a team, the Toreros shot 52 percent from the field.

The Seasiders then went on a 9-2 run to even things up at 15-15 with 11:35 remaining in the half.
