ARCATA —FIve players hit double digits as Humboldt State's offense powered to a 95-81 win over Cal State Stanislaus on Saturday.

Devin Peal scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Humboldt State, and was supported by Grayson Moyer's 17 points. Will Sheufelt and Cy Vandermeer had 15 points each, and Nick Green added 10 for the Lumberjacks, who improved to 12-3 overall and 7-1 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

Cal State Stanislaus dropped to 3-12 overall and and 2-6 in league, but not before mounting a comeback attempt in the waning minutes. J.R. Cassita, who finished with 22 points, led the surge with 13 points in the final seven minutes, hitting three three-pointers during the stretch.

Also in double figures for the Warriors were Heath Colvin with 16 points, and Rick Cardoso and Duane Jones with 14 each.

For the second straight night the Lumberjacks shot better than 50 percent from the field, but had to hold off a hard-charging opponent to preserve the victory. After the Jacks had led by as many as 18 points they allowed the Warriors to pull within six before a key three-pointer by freshman Ernie Spada reestablished HSU's advantage with two minutes, 31 seconds remaining.

In the game's opening minutes, Humboldt State quickly forged ahead, Peal and Vandermeer scoring inside and Sheufelt and Moyer adding a perimeter game. The Lumberjacks were up 21-8 only seven minutes into the game, and stretched their lead to as many as 15 points as the half progressed.

CSU Stanislaus rallied, pulling within seven points on Chris Hayes' layup with 3:4 left before the break. But Spada hit a three-pointer and Vandermeer banked home a shot at the buzzer to provide the Jacks with a 51-37 lead at halftime.

Humboldt State travels this week for key games against Cal Poly Pomona, on Friday, and Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday. After facing those two opponents, HSU will reach the midway point of the CCAA season.
