Box Score

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Junior forward Sierra Campisano (pictured above) produced her fifth double-double of the season -- 15 points and 11 rebounds -- but Cal Poly let a nine-point second-half lead slip away in a 42-36 loss to UC Davis in a Big West Conference women's basketball game Saturday afternoon inside Mott Athletics Center.

Coach Faith Mimnaugh's Mustangs, who scored 75 points in Thursday's win over UC Riverside, were held to 29.5-percent shooting from the floor by the visiting Aggies and turned the ball over 22 times, seven more than UC Davis.

With the loss, Cal Poly falls to 4-12 for the season and 1-4 in Big West games. UC Davis, led by Mackenzie Trpcic's 10 points, improved to 9-9 and 4-1.

Cal Poly went on a 15-0 run midway through the first half, turning a 15-7 deficit into a 22-15 lead. Abbey Ellis (pictured at left) capped the run with a fast-break layup with 4:29 remaining in the second quarter.

Cal Poly took a 24-18 lead into the locker room at halftime and the Mustangs scored the first basket of the third quarter on Chantel Govan's layup for a 26-18 lead.

UC Davis closed the gap to a single point at 31-30 at the end of the period and outscored Cal Poly 12-5 in the fourth quarter as the Mustangs made just one of nine floor shots, going 0-for-5 from three-point range in the final 10 minutes.

UC Davis won despite shooting just 30 percent from the floor. The Aggies also were outrebounded by the Mustangs 38-33.

Cal Poly hits the road for its next two games, visiting Cal State Fullerton on Thursday and CSUN on Saturday.
