The women’s game was filled with ups and downs for Warrior basketball. Cal State Monterey Bay took an early 21-10 lead in the first quarter and had to fight to keep the lead against Stan state. The Otters went 9 of 13 from the field and were 0 for 1 from deep. The Warriors were 5 of 16 from the the field and went 0 for 5 from the three point line.
In the 2nd quarter the Warriors outscored the Otters 18-15 to begin closing the 10 point lead held by the Otters.

Otters were leading 36-28 at the half.
The 3rd quarter saw the Warriors offense take their foot off the gas, only making 3 out of 15 attempts on the basket, but saw improvement in their free throws as they made 5 out of 6 attempts. The Otters pressed forward going 8 of 17 from the field and 33% from beyond the arc keeping them in the lead.
In the 4th quarter the Warriors had a fire lit under them as they went 9 of 19 in the paint and 3 of 8 form deep out scoring the Otters 22-16 . The Otters consistency in previous quarters was enough to keep them in the lead as the Warriors would fall to them in a 70-62 defeat.
