SEASIDE, Calif.-- A delayed start to the weekend due to adverse weather conditions did little to dampen the competitive spirit, as the Cal Poly Humboldt women's basketball team used a dominant fourth quarter to pull away from Cal State Monterey Bay 64-48 on Friday evening at the Kelp Bed. As she has all season, Madison Parry led the way with a game high 18 points to go along with four rebounds and three assists. Kailiana Ramos made her first start of the season and took advantage, scoring 11 points and adding two rebounds and two assists. Jayci Bayne chipped in 10 points off the bench while Jaydon Williams grabbed seven rebounds, dished out five assists, and tallied four steals to lead the Jacks in each of those stat categories. The win improves Humboldt to 4-3 in conference play and 6-5 overall.
 

GAME SUMMARY 
The Jacks got on the board first after a steal from Jaydon Williams led to a Zyan Smith layup. At the 5:55 mark in the first quarter, Jayci Bayne hit a three-pointer to give Humboldt a 7-6 lead. The Jacks maintained a lead for the rest of the first quarter and went into the second quarter up 20-16. Two layups from Madison Parry and a three pointer from Kacie Slover extended the Humboldt lead to eight points with 6:50 left to play before the half.
