Saxon's Career-High Pushes CSUB Past Seattle U



BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – A strong, third-quarter surge gave the CSU Bakersfield women's basketball team a thirteen-point lead heading into the final period. Seattle U was unable to come from behind as the Roadrunners earned the 55-43 victory in the Icardo Center. On the game, Miracle Saxon led all scorers and rebounders with a career-high nineteen points and fifteen boards for her second double-double of the season. Jayden Eggleston and Vanessa Austin each had eleven rebounds and eight points. Kate Tokuhara did a bit of everything against SU, adding nine points, seven rebounds, one steal and one assist. Andie Easley also chipped in with seven points and a game-best five assists. As a team, CSUB finished the game with a season-high 55 rebounds.
 
Seattle U held a two-point advantage after the first quarter, but it was Bakersfield who took the same margin into halftime, 22-20. In the third quarter, the `Runners hit 47 percent of their field goals, outscoring the Redhawks 22-11 in the period. SU's fourth was better but not enough to overcome the deficit.
 
CSUB outrebounded SU 55-35 on the game and did a good job of capitalizing off the Redhawk's mistakes, scoring eighteen points off second chances. The `Runners forced more turnovers than committed and owned the paint, 28-18.
 
After the in, Bakersfield improves to 15-11 on the season. With a 7-6 Western Athletic Conference record, the `Runners are fourth in the league standings. CSUB will play its last two road games of the regular season next week at Rio Grande Valley and NM State.
