SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. --- The CSUN women's basketball team (8-8, 1-1 Big West) lost 79-68 to Cal Poly Saturday afternoon in a Big West Conference game at Mott Athletic Center. Freshman Hayley Tanabe scored a career-high 21 points, including a career-best five 3-pointers, but slow starts to the first and third period doomed CSUN in the loss to Mustangs.Â
In the first period, CSUN started the game just 1-of-9 from the field and trailed 9-2 and 18-5 early in the frame. However, the Matadors fought back to close to within 18-12 after 10 minutes of work and then won the second period (22-16) to tie the game at the half.Â
Coming out of halftime, the Mustangs exploded behind the play of Hannah Gilbert. The senior center scored the first eight points of the half for Cal Poly and the Mustangs took a 44-36 lead with just under seven minutes to play in the third quarter.
Undeterred, CSUN went on a 14-0 run that was punctuated by a three-point play from freshman Eliza Matthews. Leading 50-47, the Matadors could not hold on as Cal Poly went on an 8-0 run and took a 57-53 lead into the fourth.Â
A jump shot from Serafina Maulupe tied the game at 61-61 with 6:54 to play. From there, the Mustangs closed the game on a 18-7 run to clinch the victory.Â
Tanabe finished 7-of-16 from the field and added two rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes of work. Matthews also scored a career-high, finishing with 10 points to go with eight rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes.Â
Senior Emily Cole had 11 points off the bench, knocking down three 3-pointers to give her 112 for her career and tie her for sixth in program history. Cheyenne Allen was the fourth Matador to reach double-figures, scoring 10 points to go with three assists and five rebounds.Â
The Matadors finished at 36.9 percent (24-of-65) from the field and 40.9 percent (9-of-22) from 3-point range. The Mustangs shot 47.5 percent from the field (28-of-59) and 46.7 percent (7-of-16) from 3-point range.
