LOS ANGELES (Feb. 7, 2015) -- Cal State San Bernardino answered back from a difficult loss with one of its tried and true methods.

The Coyotes outplayed Cal State L.A. in the second half and went on to earn a 75-67 victory in CCAA women's basketball Saturday night.

Junior guard Alexcia Mack scored a game-high 22 points and junior forward Adriana Brodie played a dream game with 18 points and 11 rebounds as the Coyotes led throughout the second half and improved to 15-5 overall and 11-5 CCAA.

The Coyotes were red hot in the first half, hitting 55.6 percent from the floor and led 40-32 at the break. That's always a good sign as CSUSB entered the game 11-0 on the season when it holds the lead through 20 minutes.

Coach Renee Jimenez's team had two 10-point leads through the first eight minutes of the half, but the Golden Eagles mounted a run that cut the Coyotes' lead to 55-53 with 8:06 left.

That's when CSUSB stepped up its play. Brianna Harden hit two free throws and after CSULA missed three field goal attempts, a layup from Chelsea Barnes and two free throws from Mack put the Coyotes up 61-53 with 5:52 left.

CSUSB then tightened its grip on its foe, and built the lead back to 10-plus for the victory.

Mack was 5-of-12 from the floor with three 3s and nine free throws. Brodie was outstanding, hitting 7-of-10 shots, five offensive boards and three assists.

Chiara Dimarco led CSULA (9-11, 8-8) with 18 points. The Golden Eagles shot 50 percent for the game, but were undone by 20 turnovers.

CSUSB returns to Coussoulis Arena on Thursday night when it takes on Chico State.
