Coach says
"Kaitlyn was outstanding tonight'' head coach
Susan Crebbin said. "We were ready to go from the tip. Sabrea assisted on so many key plays early. She was solid in pushing the ball and finding open shooters when sh wasn't finishing strongly at the basket. Lunden was active on the boards and played very well on defense. Our bench was a big factor. It really was a typical early season game against Stanislaus. We turned the ball over a little bit too much, but we matched every single one of their runs with winning plays.''
What's next
CSUSB makes its home debut Tuesday night against Cal Baptist. Tipoff is 6 p.m .
