Cold Shooting Sinks Matadors in Loss to 49ers
1/5/2011 2:32:00 PM | Women's Basketball
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge women's basketball team (1-14, 1-2 Big West) lost 64-50 to Long Beach State Wednesday night at The Matadome. The Matadors could not overcome a cold night from the floor, although both Jasmine Erving and Violet Alama posted double-doubles in defeat for CSUN.
Â
The Matadors shot 26.1 percent (18-of-69) from the field Wednesday night, their second-worst outing of the season. After trading baskets early, Long Beach State went on a 17-2 run midway through the first half to take a 26-12 lead, though CSUN fought back to trail only 30-22 at halftime.
Â
In the second frame, the Matadors closed to within nine points only to see the 49ers respond with a 9-1 run of their own. Northridge would get no closer than 10 the rest of the way as Long Beach State earned its first conference win of the year.
Â
Erving posted her fourth double-double of the year, finishing with 16 points and a career-high 16 rebounds. She also added three blocked shots. Alama went for 20 points and 11 rebounds, her third career double double. She had two assists and was 7-of-15 from the field.
Â
Long Beach State finished at 37.1 percent (26-of-70) from the field and scored 18 points off 24 Matador turnovers. CSUN did pull down a season-high 52 rebounds, including 22 on the offensive glass, and finished with 14 second-chance points.
Â
Brandi Henton led the 49ers with 15 points. Ella Clark and Tipesa Moorer came off the bench to score 14 and 10, respectively, for Long Beach State.
Â
The Matadors will return to action on Jan. 13 when they face the UC Riverside Highlanders in Riverside. On Jan. 15, Northridge will play at Cal State Fullerton.
