Wednesday night in game one of the Maggie Dixon Surf-N-Slam Classic at the
Jenny Craig Pavilion.

CSU
Bakersfield was led by Kristine Herman (R-Sr., San Ramon, Calif., Florida Gulf
Coast) and Ciarra Ford (Jr., Long Beach, Calif., Mt. Sac College) who each
scored 18 points. Lauren Carter (R-Jr., Moorpark, Calif., Moorpark HS) had 16
points and six rebounds. Amber Williams (Jr., Fontana, Calif., Etiwanda HS),
CSUB's leading active scorer became the sixth Roadrunner player to miss a game
due a knee injury. The 5-6 guard sat out Wednesday night's game due to tendinitis
in both of her knees. CSUB played and
dressed six players against San Diego.
"San Diego shot the ball really well," said CSUB head coach
Greg McCall. "We were able to get to the basket, we were able to force
turnovers, but they shot over 50 percent from field and over 55 percent from
three-point range. In the end, what hurt us the most was our inability to
rebound. They had 21 offensive rebounds which led to 24 second chance points."
The Roadrunners conclude tournament play Thursday night
when CSUB faces No. 13/18 Texas Tech (10-0) at 7 p.m.
