...But Ended on a High Note
The Warriors did end the seven-game road stretch on a positive note with a win at Chico State Monday night. It was the Warriors' first CCAA win this season.

Oh So-Sweet Victory at Chico
Beating Chico State on its home court had proved to be tough, but Monday's win was extra sweet as it marked the second time the Warriors beat the Wildcats in Acker Gym during the CCAA era, which started in 1998. The Warriors were 1-12 at Chico prior to the win with the other win coming late in 2003, when the Warriors made the NCAA tournament.

Home Sweet Home
Cal State Stanislaus will be home for four straight and eight of the next 10 games. This season so far, the Warrior women are 2-1 at the Ed & Bertha Fitzpatrick Arena, where they were an impressive 9-4 in 2010-11.

Henderson has already scored 196 points with 94 rebounds through 10 games. The sharp-shooter is 81 for 185 from the floor for a .438 clip and leads the team with 15 steals.

Sister Getting In the Act
Lauren Godde's twin sister Erin Godde was also a factor in Monday's win as she turned in a career high with 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting. She also pulled six rebounds.
