Box Score

POMONA – Cal State Dominguez Hills (14-11, 9-10) limited the Broncos to only four first-half baskets on its way to a 37-15 halftime lead, then never looked back as the Toros defeated Cal Poly Pomona, 67-50, in a CCAA women's basketball game in Pomona Wednesday night. The Toros never led by less than 13 points in the second half.

Cal Poly Pomona (11-15, 8-11) shot just 18 percent in the first half and committed 17 turnovers. The Toros were much more efficient, making 46 percent of their first-half attempts and committing only nine turnovers.

Senior Tameka Blue had a tremendous game for the Toros, pouring in a game-high 22 points to go along with six assists, four rebounds and three steals. Every time the Broncos tried to make a second-half run, it seemed as though Blue was the one to put an end to it – either by a big basket or a nice pass.

Adiana Vega-Howard had 12 points, all in the first half on four 3-pointers, while helping the Toros to their big early lead. Alana Bailey also had 12 points and seven rebounds.

Cal Poly Pomona owned a 39-29 rebounding edge, but could not make up the difference in shooting percentage. Although the Broncos shot better in the second half – 41.9 percent – the Toros did even better, making 52.6 percent. For the game, the Toros shot 48.9 percent to 32.1 percent for the Broncos.

The Broncos were led by Ashley Moody, who had a team-high 11 points. Unique Anderson had 10 points.

Cal State Dominguez Hills will conclude its season at Cal State Monterey Bay on Saturday night.
