HOW IT HAPPENED
- Abbey Ellis scored seven of the first nine Cal Poly points as the Mustangs jumped out to a 9-4 lead. Only two Mustangs scored in the first quarter, Ellis (7) and Sierra Campisano (8) as Cal Poly led 15-9 after 10 minutes.
- Neither team scored in the first three minutes of the second quarter until Campisano, a 6-3 forward, made her third three-pointer of the game. The Mustangs held CSUN to one point over the first 5:33 as Cal Poly led 20-10 at the media timeout. Alicia Roufosse became the first Mustang other than Ellis and Campisano to score when she was 1-of-2 from the free-throw line with just over two minutes to play in the first half.
- The Mustangs only shot 34.5% (10-of-29) from the field in the first half. Cal Poly in return held CSUN to 31.8% shooting in the opening 20 minutes (7-of-22), Cal Poly led 26-17 at halftime.
- The Matadors outscored Cal Poly 8-2 to begin the third quarter, cutting the Mustang advantage to 28-25 after a Meghann Henderson three-pointer at the media timeout. Cal Poly responded with a 6-0 spurt resulting in a CSUN timeout with 2:45 remaining in the period. The Matadors fought back and trailed 36-30 with 30 minutes gone.
- After a scoreless third quarter, Campisano scored five of the first seven Cal Poly points of the fourth. The Mustangs pushed the lead to eight off of a Campisano three-pointer. Hayley Tanabe responded with a three-pointer of her own for a 42-37 score at the 7:01 mark.
- After not scoring for nearly four minutes, Campisano's 17-foot jumper increased the Cal Poly lead to seven. Jordyn Jackson broke the CSUN drought after three minutes with 1-of-2 free throws to make it 44-38. De'Jionae Calloway's jumper further reduced the Cal Poly advantage. The Matadors got a stop on the defensive end. The Matadors turned the ball over on their next possession. The turnover resulted in a foul being drawn by Roufosse with 87 seconds remaining.
- The Mustangs drained the shot clock down to five seconds before Ellis put the game away with a three-pointer from the top of the key at the 51-second mark. CSUN missed on the offensive end. Roufosse's layup put Cal Poly up by nine. Tanabe converted a three-point play with 28.1 seconds remaining. Campisano was fouled a little over a second later. She sank both of her free throws. She was fouled again after the Matadors missed a field goal attempt. She again made both free throws for the final points of the game.
- Campisano scored a game-high 26 points for the Mustangs (9-17, 6-9 Big West). She was 9-of-15 from the floor, 4-of-4 from three-point range, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line. Ellis had 15 after getting into foul trouble. Calloway led CSUN with 13 points and nine rebounds. Tanabe scored 10 points.
- Both teams would shoot under 40-percent for the game. Cal Poly was 20-of-52 (38.5%) while CSUN was 17-of-48 (35.4%). The Matadors were 5-of-11 from free throw line while Cal Poly went 6-of-8. CSUN outrebounded Cal Poly 37-30.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "Much like the last time we played Cal Poly, our defense allowed us to win the game. We didn't get it done offensively. We weren't nearly as aggressive as a whole as we wanted to be. There were opportunities that we didn't take advantage of early on. To the group's credit, we fought back and made it a one-possession game in the second half. We just couldn't make the plays when we need to and they did. Credit to them for the win. We will go back to the drawing board and get ready for Thursday against UC Davis."
