CSUB Lights Up Education Day

Four Roadrunners finish in double figures in front of a season-high 1,544 fans



BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – In front of over 1,500 fans in attendance for Education Day, CSU Bakersfield's women's basketball team earned a 33-point victory on the Kern Schools Court in the Icardo Center. The Roadrunners sprinted away from Chicago State to take an 80-47 win, improving to 10-14 (6-5) while the Cougars fell 1-22 (1-8) on the year.
 
After a slow start defensively in the first period, the `Runner defense buckled down and held CSU to just nine points in the second quarter while Bakersfield's offense continued to spark behind 64.3% shooting from the field and sophomore Vanessa Austin's 12 first-half points and seven rebounds.
 
Alexxus Gilbert took the offensive torch in the second half and ran with it. Gilbert tied her career-high in three-pointers (5) and finished as CSUB's leading scorer for the sixteenth time this season with 19 points and added a game-high four steals.
 
The Roadrunners also got solid performance out of Ashley Austin and Miracle Saxon. Austin posted 10 points and a game-best five assists while Miracle Saxon nearly tallied her first career double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds in under 20 minutes of action. JJ Johnson and Malayasia McHenry were each one-point short from double figures as both finished with nine points apiece.
