SAN BERNARDINO – A poor shooting night almost did not matter for the Coyotes in Saturday's game against visiting Cal State East Bay.

The Coyotes, who shot 25.5 percent from the floor, were edged down the stretch in a 42-39 loss to the Pioneers in CCAA women's basketball.

CSUSB held possession for the final shot with eight seconds and the ball on their end of the court. They worked the ball around for a potential tying shot, but freshman Alexcia Mack's effort was caught in a Pioneers' scrum and the ball was blocked.

Senior Jaslyn Cosey led the Coyotes with nine. CSUSB was held to its lowest offensive output since the 57-34 loss at UC San Diego on Dec. 30.

Down 40-37 with 18 seconds left, the Coyotes' Kristen Huffman turned the ball over . But on the possession, CSUSB's Alexcia Mack was called for a foul and CSUEB's Sara Finlay was called for a technical.

Mack made both free throws to cut the Pioneers' lead to one (38-37), but Finlay also converted both free throws to give her team the three-point cushion.

Trinidee Trice had seven points off the bench and Mack and senior Eliza Dy each had six.

Tori Breshers scored a game-high 11 points with six rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench.

The Pioneers (15-9, 13-7) won for the first time in nine games in San Bernardino.
