MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Jose Martinez scored a career-high 16 points, Olin Carter III had back-to-back 3-pointers in a late 16-2 run and San Diego edged Pepperdine 68-66 on Thursday night.
Pepperdine led 56-46 after Colbey Ross made three free throws with 8:51 to play. Tyler Williams started a 7-0 run with a 4-point play and Carter had the last eight points in the 11-0 run after a Waves' basket for a 66-60 Toreros lead with 32 seconds to play.
Ross, who scored San Diego's last eight points in the final 24 seconds, made it a one point game from the foul line but Isaiah Pineiro's free throw wrapped up the scoring.
Pineiro had 12 points and Williams and Carter 11 each for the Toreros (16-9, 7-6 West Coast Conference).
Ross had 20 points and Matthew Atewe had 19 points and 14 rebounds, both career highs, for the Waves (4-21, 1-12). Amadi Udenyi had three assists and became the fourth Pepperdine player to reach 400 for his career.
