TURLOCK, Calif. – The Warriors gave Cal State Dominguez Hills a run for their money in the early going of their afternoon matchup at Ed & Bertha Fitzpatrick Arena. Makayla Rose erupted for a game high 21 points on 7-13 shooting to help keep her team in contention against the undefeated Toros.

SECOND QUARTER: Iman Addison was responsible for the team's only two buckets on the offensive end in the second period, and the Toros managed to pull away for a 33-26 lead before halftime.
 
THIRD QUARTER: Stan State managed to find some new life in the second half with buckets from Aunika Hornung and Amaya McLeod who combined for 10 points on the day, but foul trouble led to free points at the foul line for the Toros.
