TURLOCK, Calif.---  Stan State's rally from a 13-point deficit fell short as Cal Poly Pomona took the 65-64 victory over the Warriors this afternoon in Pomona.  It looked like that Dontrell Hewlett scored the game-winner as the buzzer sounded, but the basket was ruled it didn't count as the shot didn't get off before the game ended. Hewlett finished with his second double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds.  John Wade III chipped in 13 points and Cam Walker added 11 points.
