Cal State women win in overtime

The Coyotes (5-4, 3-0) stayed undefeated in CCAA play in unusual and
rather ugly fashion, outlasting the Warriors (6-4, 1-2) 46-43 despite
shooting only 22.1 percent (15 of 68) from the field.

Neither team got much of anything going from the field in either half
or the overtime, in which both teams were scoreless for the first
2:57 after being tied 41-41 at the end of regulation. There were a
combined seven points in the overtime, with the Coyotes taking the
lead for good at 44-43 on a free throw by Morgan Pryor with 28.6
seconds left.

Lisa Takata came up with a steal for Cal State on Stanislaus' next
possession and hit two free throws with 18.3 seconds left to put the
Coyotes up 3. Katie Busi had a chance to tie the game for the
Warriors with a 3-point attempt from the right corner as time
expired, but the shot caromed off the rim.

Pryor and Krystal Uruza led the Coyotes with eight points each, with
Uruza pulling down 10 rebounds. Artaisha Waters and Jacyln Rainville
added seven points each, with Rainville grabbing 11 rebounds. Busi
led Stanislaus, which shot 20.8 percent (11 of 53) from the field,
with 10 points and 15 rebounds.

Cal State hosts Chico State tonight at 5:30 p.m. at Coussoulis Arena.
