Cal State Women Win; No Record Tonight
Vanessa Wilt scored 18 and took 20 rebounds as Cal State San Bernardino's women remained in at least a tie for the CCAA lead by defeating Humboldt State, 63-53.
That's 15 double-doubles in 16 games for Wilt, the 6-1 senior center from Hesperia. Her only miss? Last night, when she had 22 points and "only" seven rebounds against Sonoma State.
Nice crowd here at Coussoulis Arena in north Berdoo, but no way is the school sports attendance record of 4,297 going to fall on "Baker's Drive-Thru Pack the House Night," as it's officially known.
Maybe they wouldn't have regardless, but the threat of rain (it hadn't quite started by 6:30, when I got here) kept people home.
Unless 2,000 people show up in the next half-hour, that is.
The GA/student sections are pretty well filled, but the Grown-Ups Section, on the south side of the arena, is 90 percent empty.
Cal State's women are actually good, which is a bit of a surprise. Tied for the conference lead, with a good shot at making the West Regional, if they play well in the second half of the CCAA season.
