The Yotes finished the half on a 7-0 with James finishing it again and went to the break up 44-22. The lead got as high as 32, and only dipped below 20 in the last five minutes of the game.

Andres Villa scored 12 and Garrett Baggett scored 10. Jennings led the team and completed the double-double with 10 rebounds, as CSUSB dominated the boards, 37-18. The Yotes lit up the scoreboard shooting 59 percent from the field, 60 percent from three, and 90 percent from the free throw line.
"I don't like to force anything, but I stay aggressive and let the game come to me," Henderson said about his 18 points.
