Sagehens women’s basketball shoots for success, despite dropping season openers

After two home games, and despite two second half leads, Pomona-Pitzer (P-P) women’s basketball started their 2026-27 campaign 0-2. The Sagehens fell to Pacific University and Wheaton College last Friday and Saturday respectively, a disappointing start to a season with high expectations. The team is coming off a strong 2025-26 season which saw a 16-9 overall finish, an 11-5 record in SCIAC conference games and a spot in the SCIAC semifinals. They lost in that round in February to the No. 2 seed Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CMS) in a 59-54 battle. Close losses early on, however, haven’t swayed the program’s expectations for the season ahead. Alaina Woo, now in her seventh season as the team’s head coach, described this group as hungry for success. “This team wants to be great,” Woo said in email correspondence with TSL.
