Toros Triple Double-Double Their Fun in 62-48 Downing of Otters to Sweep CCAA Road Weekend

Box Score SEASIDE -- Visiting Cal State Dominguez Hills rode double-doubles by Monay Lee (pictured), Talia Rayford and Anandi Jimenez en route to a convincing 62-48 win over host Cal State Monterey Bay tonight, pushing its win streak to three straight.

With the sweep, CSUDH remains in a two-way tie in second place in the CCAA with Cal Poly Pomona, one game behind Humboldt State.

"It's tough to win on the road and I thought we did a good job of playing through some tough offensive stretches in another good team effort tonight," begins CSUDH head coach Molly Goodenbour.

"Talia rebounded relentlessly and Monay played really solid all weekend, and we'll look to keep it going against Pomona next week."

The Toros (12–4, 7–1 CCAA) raced to an 11–2 lead before the game was three minutes old—and twice led by as many as 13 points in the first half—but the Otters refused to go away until the Toros made 11 of 13 free throw attempts over the final 4:47 to turn a 3–point game into a 14–point final.

After falling behind early, the Otters used a 14–5 run to catch the Toros at 16–16 midway through the first half. Dominguez Hills went up by eight at the half, but couldn't put CSUMB away as the Otters kept the Toros in their sites for most of the second half.

A short jumper got CSUMB back to within three at 51–48 with five minutes remaining. But that's when a cold snap moved in and the Otters hit a game–ending 0–for–9 spell to spoil hopes of an upset.

Lee (18 points, 11 rebounds), Radford (12 & 15) and Jimenez (12 & 10) all posted double–doubles in the win.

CSUDH returns home next weekend for a pair of southern California showdowns, starting with Cal Poly Pomona on Friday.
