LA JOLLA—The Warriors may have lost in the second round of the CCAA Tournament but the way they played was not a loss all together. The Warriors kept up with the Tritons of UC San Diego and eventually the Tritons took a 25-point run and this is what put them over the Warriors in the fourth quarter. The Warriors fall 53-73 to UC San Diego to close out their incredible season and post-season.
 
Going into the fourth, the Warriors led over UC San Diego, 46-45. The Tritons then went on a 19-point run in the fourth quarter only allowing the Warriors to score once until they continued into a 25-point run to take the game by 20 points.
 
All within seconds, the Warriors were down with only minutes to spare.
 
The Warriors finish their season 15-14 overall and 12-10 in the conference. The Tritons will continue into the championship game at 24-5 overall and 18-4 in the CCAA.
