Box Score 
LAS VEGAS - Maya Hood hit a mid-range jumper with 24 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to deliver the final blow to No. 3-seeded BYU and send San Diego to the WCC Tournament semifinals with a, 61-56, victory Thursday evening at the Orleans Arena.
Hood has hit numerous big shots for the Toreros (16-14) throughout her illustrious career but her final shot in Thursday's game will certainly rank as one of the most memorable.
The shot put the game out of reach and ensured the Toreros would avenge last year's overtime loss to the Cougars (16-14) in the conference tournament and marked the first time in program history USD has swept BYU in a season.
USD advances to the semifinals on Monday at 2 p.m. PT and will play either Saint Mary's, Pacific or Portland.
Caroline Buhr scored a team-high 15 points - the second-most points she has scored in a game this season - to lead the Toreros offensively. She also registered a team-best eight rebounds.
