ARCATA — (Jan. 11) Will Sheufelt recorded a career-high 11 assists while contributing 16 points, and teammate Kevin Johnson added 18 points and 13 rebounds in Humboldt State's 101-82 win over San Francisco State on Thursday.

Humboldt State also received a game-high 21 points from Grayson Moyer, helping the Jacks improve to 10-2 overall and 5-2 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. Alex Thomas and Dean Wilson each scored 16 points for the San Francisco State Gators, who dropped to 5-6 overall and 1-5 in the CCAA.

The Lumberjacks wasted little time in building a 12-point lead, moving up 16-4 on Devin Peal's layup with 15 minutes, 46 seconds remaining in the first half. But the Gators responded with a 14-4 run, finished with Wilson's three-pointer that trimmed the Jacks' lead to 20-18.

With 4:05 remaining in the half, the Gators managed their only tie of the contest, drawing to 32-32 on a Thomas three-pointer. Cy Vandermeer drained a three-pointer and two free throws before Jeremiah Ward finished the half with another pair of free throws to give HSU a 46-41 lead at halftime.

Humboldt State maintained a 10 to 13 point lead through much of the second half before San Francisco State produced another surge. Will Logan's layup cut the lead to 79-73, but Sheufelt hit two more free throws to initiate a 14-2 HSU run that Moyer finished off with a three-pointer.

Also in double figures for Humboldt State were Ward, with 10 points, and Peal, with 13. Derek Fletcher added 14 points and Logan scored 10 for the Gators.
