Alexcia Mack led CSUSB with 17 points, and fellow seniors
Chelsea Austin and
Chelsea Barnes each scored 12 in the Coyotes' 64-59 loss to San Francisco State in CCAA play on Senior Night on Saturday.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Felicia Villaruel and Lauryn Catching gave the Gators a 56-50 lead with 1:44 to go and they eventually led by eight in the final minute.
Tatsiana Dashkevich led the Gators with 22 points.
The Coyotes honored their seven seniors – Austin, Barnes,
Sophie Bhasin,
Adriana Brodie,
Brianna Harden, Mack and
Bisera Peshkova in a pregame ceremony.
