Box Score CARSON – Two-time CCAA Player of the Week Brandon Knapper hit his second game-winning shot of the year, this time as time expired in overtime, as the Yotes defeated CSU Dominguez Hills 96-95 on the road on Thursday.
 
After the Yotes forced a jump ball with three seconds left in overtime, down by two points, Knapper hit a contested three to seal the Yotes win and finish with 20 points to lead the team.
 
The Yotes had raced out to an early lead in the first half, led by as much as 22, and by 15 with five minutes left in the game.  But the Toros were able to storm back late and force OT, and then led by as much as six in overtime.  A late steal and the jump ball gave the Yotes the extra possessions they needed to steal back the win.

"I thought we fought hard through a lot of adversity tonight. Dominguez played great and that will go down as one of the best CCAA games I've been a part of since I've started coaching at CSUSB," head coach Andy Newman said.  "Knapper saved us again in the end and is starting to build a resume of making big shots in big moments. I am very happy for him and US!"
 
Darius Mickens added 15 for the Yotes, Daytone Jennings scored 14, Eddie Davis had 13, and Darius Lubom had 10.  Jennings led on the glass with eight boards.  In a rare occurance the Yotes were outrebounded, but made seven more field goals and one more three.
 
CSUSB will look for their 10^th win of the season on Saturday at 3 pm at Cal State East Bay in their final game of 2021.
