Gilbert’s Career-High Lifts CSUB Over Wright State



BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The CSU Bakersfield women's basketball team did not disappoint in their season opener at home on Tuesday night. The Roadrunners would clinch a 76-74 win over Wright State University behind senior Alexxus Gilbert's 18 points.
 
In their first period of competition since the 2017-18 season, the group opened the contest shooting 7-for-14 (50%) from the field and perfect from the free throw line. Bakersfield led the entire first quarter but Wright State was able to hang around and keep the first quarter deficit at single digits.
 
CSUB went 9-for-11 (81.8%) in the second quarter compared to the Raiders' who were 5-for-19 (26.3%) from the field. The Roadrunners held the largest lead (16) with 4:12 left in the first half and went into the locker room with a 41-28 lead.
 
Wright State was able to claw their way back into the game in the third quarter. The Raiders outscored the `Runners 27-13 in the third quarter to take a 55-54 edge heading into the final period of the game.
 
In the fourth quarter, the Roadrunner veteran leadership showed growth from a year ago. Seniors Gilbert and JJ Johnson were able to make plays down the stretch to give Bakersfield the 22-19 fourth quarter edge for the final score of 76-74. 
 
Angel Baker finished the contest with a game-high 21 points for Wright State, but Bakersfield had four players finish in double figures including Gilbert (18), Johnson (18) of her own, Nina Carpenter (13) and Dalis Jones (10). Carpenter had a near double-double with nine rebounds and added four blocks on the night.
