Victory!
The Warriors ended the eight-game skid with their first win last Saturday when they beat Holy Names, 68-61. Four players were in double-digits in scoring with Briana Cotton leading the way with 19 points and Devin Brown scored 16. Lauren Godde had 12 with Molly Farrar chipping in with her career-high 10 points.

A Big Lead For a Change
Cal State Stanislaus was able to enjoy a huge lead for a change this season. During the game against Holy Names, the Warriors led by as many as 20 points in the first half (at 3:51, 39-19). They maintained a double-digure lead for most of the first half and the first part of the second half.

A Warm December for Cotton
In four December games, sophomore guard Briana Cotton warmed up on her shooting touch and has became a go-to shooter. In those four games, Cotton lead the team with a 15.8 points per game average. She had four straight double-digit games including knocking down 19 points twice. During the stretch, Cotton is 24 for 55 from the field for 43.6 percent and made a team-best 81.8 percent of her free throws (9 for 11).

Twin Towers
The Godde twins are working together to takecharge in the paint this season. Lauren Godde continues to lead the team (and is fourth in the CCAA) in scoring at 17.3 per game. She also averages 7.9 rebounds per contest (fourth best in the CCAA). Sister Erin Godde now averages 7.0 rebounds per game and has grabbed eight or more rebounds in each of the last four outings. Together, the twins are in the top 10 among all CCAA players in both rebounding per game and blocked shots per game (each with a 0.7 average).

What Can Brown Do For You
Senior Devin Brown is also enjoy some success lately as she's coming off back-to-back 16-point games. In the last two games, Brown was 13 for 25 from the field for 32 points. She was also 8 for 11 from the free throw line. Brown has played some solid defense as well with eight steals in the last two games, including a career-best six against Holy Names.

Nailing the Free Throws
The Warriors have shown drastic improvement on the free throw line, as it was evident in Saturday's win over Holy Names. Collectively they made nearly 68 percent of their free attempts (19 for 28). The team made six of its last eight free throws in the final two minutes of play to seal the win. Molly Farrar made three of those free throws (out of her six on the night) down the stretch.

The Streak Ended
The Warriors ended the skid at eight games to avoid being the first team to lose more than eight games in a row. They have never lost more than eight straight games during the CCAA era. Cal State Stanislaus has lost eight in-a-row four times since 2003-04.
