CARSON, Calif. – With seven seconds left in the game, Humboldt State's A'Jaee Foster grabbed the missed foul shot rebound and rushed the length of the court. She did not get a shot up as Cal State Dominguez Hills held on for 59-58 Saturday night women's basketball victory.
 
Lumberjack Jae Shin downed a 3-pointer for her team's largest lead, 48-41, with 6:23 left on the clock. The Toros answered with 12-straight points to pull ahead, 53-48, with 3:20 left. Another Shin trey pulled HSU to within one, 59-58, with 14 seconds remaining, but the visitors were unable to retake the lead at the buzzer.
 
"(Cal State) Dominguez Hills started to press and made it a tough play in an environment like that. They are a really good team, but this doesn't make or break the season," said HSU Head Coach Joddie Gleason. "We have to handle the press better when the double team is coming and make them pay for pressing us."
