Box Score

BOISE, Idaho --- The CSUN women's basketball team (1-1) fell to the Boise State Broncos, 89-52 at ExtraMile Arena Tuesday night. Saray White led the Matadors with 13 points, followed by Amya Moody who dropped 11 points.

HOW IT HAPPENED
White began the game with an and-one drive to the bucket for the first three points of the contest. Three pointers by both Rita Nazario and Kira-May Filemu gave CSUN an early lead at 9-0 before the seats were even warm. Boise State responded with five points of its own before Sophia Dignadice was fouled on a three-point attempt. She ended up making all three free throws as CSUN now led 12-5.

After a made bucket from the Broncos, defense was the story for the rest of the quarter, with 11 combined turnovers as both teams shot under 28% from the field in the first stanza. BSU then went on a 11-2 run to end the quarter as the Broncos had a two-point lead heading into the second.

In the second, the Broncos began the quarter on a 10-4 run, hitting two three pointers in the process. CSUN then responded, including a nice stepback three-point shot from Moody which cut the lead back to five at 26-21. Both teams continued to trade buckets before Moody drove in a layup before the first media timeout. After the timeout, BSU went on a 6-0 run as the lead increased to double-digits at 40-27.

After the break, both teams traded shots from distance to start the half. CSUN then went on a little 10-6 run, headlined by two three pointers from Filemu. CSUN made four of its first nine shots in the third. However, BSU remained just slightly ahead thanks to the Broncos hitting three of their first seven shots. The Broncos then countered with their biggest run of the game of 10-0 before CSUN ended the drought with a jump shot by White as the lead was now 57-39 in favor of the home team. Izzie Harms of the Broncos then sank a three-point jumper from the corner to push the lead to 21 to end the quarter.

Both teams traded multiple baskets to start the fourth. The fourth ended up being the highest scoring quarter for CSUN as the Matadors dropped 20 in the period. Six different Matadors scored in the fourth, with Nazario leading the pack with five points while CSUN shot a little over 46 percent. With the high scoring quarter, CSUN hoped to fight back against the deficit, however the defense didn't hold strong as the Matadors allowed 22 points on the other end.
