12/18/2010 2:18:00 PM | Women's Basketball
VERMILLION, S.D. - The Cal State Northridge women's basketball team (0-11) lost 71-62 to South Dakota Saturday evening at the Dakota Dome. Haley White, Analee Viena-Lota and Janelle Nomura all had 12 points for Northridge.
Â
Northridge got within five points, 54-49, with nine minutes left in the game thanks in part to its full-court defense. However, that would be as close as the Matadors would get as South Dakota pulled away in the waning moments of the contest.
Â
The Coyotes held a sizable advantage in the paint, outscoring the Matadors 38-12. South Dakota also finished with 22 second-chance points compared to 10 for CSUN. Finally, South Dakota finished with a 50-36 advantage in rebounding
Â
In all, four Matadors finished in double figures. Viena-Lota was 6-of-12 from the field and added a team-high six rebounds. Nomura made 7-of-8 from the free throw line and had four assists. Violet Alama added 10 points and four rebounds.
Â
White had a breakout first half for CSUN and finished with a season-high 12 points. She was a season-high 3-of-6 from the field and also set new season best with two 3-pointers. Finally, White added five rebounds and team-high five assists for Northridge.
Â
For the game, CSUN shot 21-of-58 from the field (36.2 percent) and 5-of-16 from 3-point range (31.3 percent). The Matadors knocked down 15-of-16 free throws (93 percent), their highest team percentage from the charity stripe this season.
Â
Amber Hegge led the Coyotes with 26 points. Jodie Boss added 16 points and 13 rebounds for South Dakota. CSUN trailed 34-25 at halftime. White led the Matadors with 10 points, including two 3-pointers, and had four assists and three rebounds. Alama had six points and rebounds for Northridge.
The Matadors remain on the road for their next game, a Dec. 20 tilt with No. 20 Iowa State. Tip-off from Hilton Coliseum is slated for 7 p.m. (CT) / 5 p.m. (PT). Following the contest with the Cyclones, CSUN opens its Big West season with a Dec. 31 game at Pacific.
