TURLOCK, Calif--- The visiting Humboldt State Lumberjacks saw their late fourth quarter rally fall short in a 51-46 loss to the Stanislaus State Warriors (9-1, 4-0 CCAA) this evening in a conference game in Turlock, Calif. The duo of
Madison Parry and
Julia Iman combined to score 25 points and grab 24 rebounds to lead the way for HSU, who saw its three-game winning streak snapped this evening.
QUOTES FROM THE COACH: "We clearly didn't have a good offensive night," said head coach
Michelle Bento-Jackson. "In addition to shooting the ball poorly, we didn't have a good shot selection. Until we learn to put more emphasis, desire and passion on the defensive end of the floor, it will be very tough. That's on me and I need to do a better job."
FIRST QUARTER: An
Ashley Peralta three off a pass from
Kaz Parks gave the 'Jacks a 7-6 lead with 3:45 left in the first quarter. The Warriors went on a mini-4-0 run to take a 10-7 lead. Humboldt State (3-4, 2-1 CCAA) finished the quarter with a 7-3 run capped by a jumper by
