Jackson's Late Free Throws Lifts CSUN Past CSUB 53-52
2/12/2022 6:43:00 PM | Women's Basketball
NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—Jordyn Jackson sank a pair of free throws with five seconds remaining to give CSUN a 53-52 victory over CSU Bakersfield in Big West Conference women's basketball action Saturday afternoon in the Matadome.
FIRST HALF
CSUN jumped out to a 15-10 first quarter lead as Tess Amundsen made a pair of three-point attempts. The Matadors went cold in the second quarter. CSUN could only muster a 2-for-10 shooting performance and went the final 6:31 without scoring, allowing CSU Bakersfield to take a 25-20 lead into halftime.
SECOND HALF
The Matadors charged out of halftime and tied the score at 25 2:25 into the third period. The score would be tied on two other occasions during the stanza with CSUB coming away with a 41-38 lead after three periods of play. The opening portion of the four period saw the Matadors tie the score at 44 on a Sydney Woodley steal and fast break layup. Three free throws from Jayden Eggleston pushed the 'Runners up 47-44 before Jackson tied the game with a three-pointer at 4:42.
Amundsen put CSUN ahead 49-47 with just over two minutes to play. Vanessa Austin converted a three-point play to put the Roadrunners ahead by one at 1:59. The Matadors worked the ball inside to Amundsen who missed a layup. Kayanna Spriggs grabbed the rebound and went back up and missed a layup. Jackson grabbed the rebound, but the Matadors would be called for a shot clock violation.
CSUB drained 25 seconds off the clock before Tatlyanna Clayburne missed a three-pointer that was rebounded by Rachel Harvey. Jackson returned the lead to the Matadors at the 54-second mark with a fast break pull up jumper. Austin pushed the 'Runners back in front with a layup on the ensuing CSUB possession.
A timeout was called by CSUN. The Matadors put the ball into Jackson's hands, and she drove the lane where she was fouled. Jackson made both attempts which resulted in a Roadrunner timeout. CSUB ran a play for Eggleston who missed a layup. Austin got the rebound, but she missed the put back attempt, securing the victory for CSUN.
ACCORDING TO INTERIM HEAD COACH CARLENE MITCHELL
"This was a much-needed win for our young group's confidence. Playing something bigger than just a win with our Play4Kay game, our players competed with a lot of heart."
"Jordyn was asked today to run the point and had a very efficient day, hitting clutch free throws to seal the win."
"We were playing with a short bench, but we were able to get critical minutes from Michelle Duchemin who gave us an offensive spart. Rachel (Harvey) and Sydney (Woodley) continue to be our defensive stoppers."
"I cannot say enough good things about Kayanna Spriggs' growth and her ability to lock in and play post defensive night in and night out against much bigger players. It felt good to get a win on our home court."
THE NUMBERS
Jackson led CSUN with 16 points. She added four rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Michelle Duchemin was the only other Matador in double figures as she posted 10 points. Andie Easley led all scorers for CSUB with 18 points as she made five three-pointers. Eggleson charted 13 points and seven rebounds while Austin added 12 points and six rebounds.
CSUN forced 20 Roadrunner turnovers and made 11 steals. CSUB recorded nine steals, forcing 15 Matador mistakes. CSUN held the Roadrunners to 35.4% (17-of-48) while shooting 38.5% (20-of-52) from the field. Both teams grabbed 33 rebounds.
UP NEXT
CSUN (8-13, 4-7 Big West) is at Long Beach State (16-4, 9-3 Big West)Thursday night. The matchup against the second-place team in the conference is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
NOTES
CSU Bakersfield is 2-15, 1-7 Big West…the teams had their Jan. 6 game postponed due to COVID protocols…CSUN's victory broke a two-game winning streak in the series for CSUB with the Roadrunners now leading 6-3 all-time…this was the 38th double figure game for Jackson in her career…Saturday was the ninth time Jackson led the Matadors in scoring in a game this season...Woodley had five steals to bring her season total to 65 which now ties her for the fifth most in school history in a season (LaShaunda Fowler, 2000-01).
