Box Score ROHNERT PARK — A strong second half effort, both offensively and defensively, led the Warriors to a road win at Sonoma State, 73-61, Saturday night.

Cal State Stanislaus shot 45 percent in the second half and held Sonoma State to just 28.6 percent shooting from the field en route to its third straight win. The Warriors add-on to their best start with 6-1 overall and 3-1 California Collegiate Athletic Association records.

Sonoma State dropped its fifth straight and are now 2-6, 0-4 in the CCAA.

Reggie Jones led the Warriors with 16 points, Vince Fuller had 15 and Brett Sayad chipped in 11. In his first appearance of the season, Frank Monge scored nine points and pulled seven rebounds. Monge and Jones, the highly anticipated duo, were on the court together for the first time. They tallied 14 rebounds and 25 points.

In his first game action in 22 months, Monge was 4-for-5 shooting in 20 minutes of play. His last appearance was on Feb. 26, 2010 before missing the entire 2010-11 season with a fractured left foot.

It was a very close contested game throughout the first half, as the Seawolves played tight with the Warriors, who came into the game as winners in five of their first six games to start the 2011-12 season.  In fact, Sonoma State held a six-point lead on a pair of occasions.  However, Cal State Stanislaus would come right back and go up by five at 31-26 with 4:47 to play in the opening period.

The Seawolves would chip away at the deficit and a pair of free throws by Patrick Scott with three seconds left put SSU up 37-35, but a made jumper by the Warriors' Dan Daviess to beat the buzzer knotted the halftime score at 37-37.

The second half quickly became a different story, however, as Cal State Stanislaus held Sonoma State scoreless for the first 6:35 after intermission until Scott hit a couple of free throws to end the drought, but the Seawolves found themselves trailing by 11 points (50-39).  It wasn't until the 9:35 mark of the period that SSU finally hit a shot from the floor, a jumper by Brian Crow to cut the CSUS lead to 14 at 55-41.

The Warriors were once again sharp at the free throw line, hitting 21 of 27 (77.8 percent)/

Cal State Stanislaus continues its trip north with a game at No. 8 Humboldt State Monday night. The Lumberjacks lost to Chico State 65-63.
