Nielacna Game-Winner Propels Cal Poly Over CSUN, 56-55
2/10/2022 10:21:00 PM | Women's Basketball
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. — Junior forward Julia Nielacna made a layup off an assist by junior guard Maddie Vick with 12 seconds left in the second half which proved to be the game-winning shot to earn Cal Poly its first road victory of the season Thursday 56-55 over CSUN.
Vick finished with a team-high 15 points and five assists for the Mustangs (3-14 2-6 BWC), who led by 20 at halftime. Freshman guard Jazzy Anousinh had career-highs of nine points and seven rebounds while fellow freshman guard Annika Shah also added nine points. Nielacna finished with seven points.
Cal Poly, which shot 43-percent from the field for the game, held the Matadors (7-13, 3-7 BWC) to just 13 points in the first half and under 30-percent shooting for the game.
In the first half, CSUN was held to 3-24 shooting from the field as Cal Poly took a 33-13 lead into halftime.
During the opening quarter, the Matadors took a 4-3 lead before Cal Poly finished the quarter on a 12-2 run.
After CSUN cut the Cal Poly lead to 22-13 in the second quarter with 6:26 left, the Matadors were held scoreless the rest of the half as the Mustangs finished it on an 11-0 run.
In the third quarter, CSUN outscored Cal Poly 22-13 to trim the Mustang lead to 11 heading into the fourth.
The Matadors opened the fourth quarter with a three to cut it to eight with 9:42 remaining. Cal Poly responded the next possession with a basket from Vick to push the lead back up to 10. From there, CSUN went on a 14-4 run over the next six minutes to tie it 52-52.
With the Mustangs ahead 54-52 with 1:42 left, CSUN's Kayanna Spriggs converted and and-one to put the Matadors ahead 55-54. With 16 seconds remaining, CSUN threw the ball out of bounds to give the Mustangs the ball.
Following a timeout by Cal Poly head coach Faith Mimnaugh, Vick found an open Nielacna under the basket to put the Mustangs in front 56-55 before CSUN's final shot at the buzzer missed wide.
Cal Poly, which has now won two of its last three, will travel to UC Santa Barbara Saturday for a 4 p.m. tipoff.
