TURLOCK – A night after taking the CCAA's top team into overtime, the Cal State Stanislaus Women's basketball team was dominated by the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos 82-59 at Warrior Arena.  With the loss, the Warriors drop to 2-4 in the CCAA and 4-8 overall.  Pomona improves to 3-3 in conference and 6-6 overall.

Lysandra Williams scored a season high 28 points on 8-17 shooting to lead the way for the Warriors.  Katie Busi added 10 points and seven rebounds in the losing effort.  With the seven rebounds, Busi has now led the Warriors in rebounds in the last seven contests.  Reyana Colson led the Broncos in scoring with 17 points and Porsche Kirksey collected a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

The game was tied at seven just three and a half minutes into action, but the Broncos would find their way and open up a 19 point lead at intermission.  The Broncos largest lead of the game was 28 points and they never allowed the Warriors to close the gap closer than 19 points in the second half.  The 28 point deficit was the largest the Warriors have faced all season.

The Broncos were able to hold the Warriors leading scorer Shristy Kumar to zero points in the first half, and she collected her fourth foul at the 3:26 mark limiting her action the rest of the game.  Kumar, who scored 23 points in last night's loss against Cal State San Bernardino, had zero shot attempts in the first half and ended the game with just one point.  Her one point was the lowest point total of the season for the senior guard.

The Warriors struggled from the outset to create opportunities and knock down open shots, and the Broncos did not.  The Warriors ended the game shooting 35.8 percent while the Broncos connected on nearly 50 percent of their shots.  The Broncos were also dominant on the glass, out rebounding the Warriors 45 to 27, most notably 17 to 8 on the offensive end.

 

With the loss, the Warriors have now run their losing streak against the Broncos to 9 games.  The Warriors last victory against the Broncos came in the 2002-03 season.

The Warriors will be on the road for the next five contests and will not return to Warrior Arena until February 2 when they host the UC San Diego Tritons.
