Wildcats escape with win over Gauchos
	With a career-high scoring attack by senior forward Tatum Brown, the No. 21 UA women's basketball team held off late runs by the No. 15 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos last night to win 86-76, extending the Wildcats' win streak to five. After narrowing the game to four points with just one minute remaining, UA junior guard Reshea Bristol and senior guard Lisa Griffith had steals and were fouled in transition. Each player made both of her foul shots to close out UCSB.

The CCP is participating in the 11th anniversary of a Day Without Art, a day of action and mourning for the ongoing crisis of AIDS.
