Shooting Long Bombs
Cal State Stanislaus was one of the better three-point shooting teams in the CCAA but this past week's numbers didn't help. The Warriors were 3-for-27 combined (0-for-11 on Saturday) from the three-point line. Before the week, they were ranked fifth in the conference with a 34.1 percentage. They are now down to eighth with a 30.1 percent success rate.

Down to Eight
Due to injuries, the Warriors are down to eight players on the active roster. The short bench means more minutes for players, but fatigue becomes a factor the following night.

Jasmine Scott is out with a head injury and is awaiting evaluation and clearance. Her return date is to be determined.
