Junior Emily Gibson led the Baker offense with 13 points while pulling down six rebounds.
Offensive output killed the Wildcats. Baker shot only 32 percent, 17-of-53, from the field and managed only three second chance points. Avila hit 19-of-45 from the field, 42.2 percent, including 7-of-16 from beyond the arc. Three Eagles scored in double-figures, Courtney Gimlin (21), Alyson Young (16), and Jamie Kenney (11).
After Avila stretched the lead to 15 late, junior Brittany Hines provided a spark scoring two straight baskets to cut it to 11. It wasn't enough. Avila went on to close out the game and in doing so overtook third-place in the conference.
Baker will be back in action Thursday evening on senior night against MidAmerica Nazarene University at 5:30 p.m. The Wildcats will be honoring their lone senior in Tayler Stacks. Be sure to arrive early and stay late. Following the women's game will be head coach Rick Weaver appreciation night.
