Box Score
ROHNERT PARK -- A sight unseen in 10 seasons became a reality Saturday night for No. 9 Cal State San Bernardino.
The Coyotes stretched their longest winning streak since the 2003-04 season with victory number 13 in an 81-71 victory over host Sonoma State in CCAA basketball.
CSUSB (13-1 overall and 10-0 CCAA), behind seniors Lacy Haddock and Jordan Burris with 13 points each, maintained their vise-like grip on sound second-half play. For the ninth time in the last 10 games CSUSB did not trail in the second half as it pulled away from the Seawolves (2-12, 1-9).
The Coyotes, who led 36-33 at the break, shot 50 percent from the field in the second half and outscored the Seawolves 15-4 off 10 SSU turnovers for their fifth-consecutive double-digit victory.
Haddock stepped up in a critical four-plus minute stretch that allowed the Coyotes to secure precious distance. Leading 45-42 with 16:15 remaining, the Las Vegas, Nev., native scored eight points in a 15-5 run and gave CSUSB a 60-47 lead with 10:47 left.
Burris's 3-pointer with 5:49 left pushed the Coyotes' advantage to 69-55 and seniors Andrew Young and Kirby Gardner helped CSUSB reach leads as large as 15 with a free throw and a 3-pointer, respectively, in the final 3:48.
Al told, five Coyotes scored in double figures. Young had 12 and Gardner 11. Junior Casey Oldenmoppen was 5-of-5 from the field for 10 points.
SSU, which shot a opponent best 56.3 percent from the field, was undone by 22 turnovers.
CSUSB returns to Coussoulis Arena to close out the first half of conference play Friday against Cal State L.A. and Saturday against Cal State Dominguez Hills.
