ARCATA -- Maybe it was Friday the 13th or the crowd at Lumberjack Arena. Perhaps it was the wet and cold Humboldt County. Whatever it was, the Cal State Stanislaus women's basketball team came out ice cold and never recovered as the Warriors dropped to Humboldt State, 77-43.

The Warriors, one of the top scoring teams in the California Collegiate Athletic Association, was held to 43 points or less for the second time in three games and fell to 11-11 overall and 6-9 in the CCAA.

High-flying Humboldt State won its third straight and improved to 16-6 overall and 11-4 in the conference. The Lumberjacks are in second place in the CCAA standings.

Cal State Stanislaus scored the game's first bucket but would not score a field goal again for more than eight minutes. By then -- at the 11:55 mark -- HSU led 16-8 en route to a 44-16 halftime advantage.

Brittney Taylor led all scorers with 19 points and Humboldt State shot nearly 51 percent for the game for the win.

The Warriors were led by Heather Highshoe who was 4-for-7 from three-point land for 12 points. Katie Busi had 11 points but no other Warrior scored more than four. For the game, CSUS made 25.5 percent of its attempts.

The Warriors best efforts came in the middle of the second half, when they scored eight straight points, including three-pointers by Christin Gowan and Highshoe. That trimmed the Lumberjacks' lead to 53-26, as tight as the game would get the rest of the way.

It is the second time in a week that the Warriors put up a low total. Last Friday, Stanislaus lost to Cal Poly Pomona at home, 51-36 before rebounding for a huge 82-76 double-overtime win the following night versus Cal State San Bernardino.

Cal State Stanislaus, now in a tie for sixth place in the CCAA with San Francisco State, will try to rebound Saturday night at Sonoma State.
