Stronger Second Half Gives Toros Win Over UC San Diego in CCAA Opener

CARSON -- Breanne Garcia dropped in 29 points to reach the 20 barrier for the third time in four games as the senior and the Cal State Dominguez Hills women's basketball team opened the California Collegiate Athletic Association title defense with a 69-45 win over UC San Diego at the Torodome on a rare Tuesday night matchup.
 
Kielyn Wilson added 11 points and 10 rebounds for her second double-double in three contests, Monay Lee contributed to had 17 points and went a perfect 5-for-5 on the free throw line to lead the Toros (2-4).
 
The Toros combined for 40.6 field goal percentage while Garcia made four of the team's five 3-point baskets.
 
It was a long night for a UC San Diego team that had three first-place votes to finish two points behind the Toros 131 in the CCAA Coaches' Preseason Poll. The Tritons (1-1, 1-1 CCAA) shot a cold 28.8 percent from the field but conceded 20 turnovers on the night. Jamie Katuna made all six of her free throw s and finished with a team most 14 points. Joleen Yang hit all four of her field goals for a dozen points off the bench.
 
The Tritons did out-rebound the Toros, 44-36. Farrah Shokoor led the pack with nine rebounds followed by Cassie MacLeod's seven.
 
Both teams went back and forth with the lead in the first quarter, with each side leading by as many as four.  Trailing by two (31-24) with 5:08 remaining in the first half, the Toros ignited an 11-0 run in the span of three minutes to take a seven-point lead. Garcia had seven points during that momentum.
 
CSUDH would never look back from that point on, leading 33-27 at the half.
 
The Toros ran away with the win in the fourth quarter with a 16-3 run to build a 24-point lead (67-43), the largest in the game.
 
Saturday's exhibition against the NAIA's Vanguard has been cancelled. The Toros will now turn focus to the Academy of Art at the Torodome Tuesday at 2 p.m.
