3/8/2022 5:32:00 PM | Women's Basketball
HENDERSON, Nev. — Three Mustangs scored in double figures but Cal Poly, held to five points in the first quarter, fell to No. 7 seed Cal State Fullerton in the first round of the Big West Tournament Tuesday at the Dollar Loan Center in Henderson Nev., 70-64.
Junior forward Julia Nielacna scored a game-high 19 points to lead the Mustangs. Junior guard Maddie Vick finished with 14 points and a game-high six assists while fellow junior guard Maddie Willett added 13 points and four assists.
After being held scoreless the final five minutes of the first quarter and only scoring five points to go down 14-5, Cal Poly opened the second quarter with a 10-0 run to take the lead with six minutes left in the half.
Down 18-15, back-to-back threes by sophomore guard Junie Dickson and Nielacna regained the lead for Cal Poly. The Mustangs, who shot 58-percent from the field and 71-percent from three in the second quarter took a 29-28 lead into halftime.
The Titans, who shot 61-percent from the field in the third quarter, opened the second half making seven of their first nine shots to take a 44-39 lead with four minutes left in the quarter.
Cal Poly responded with a 6-2 run over the next three minutes to cut the Fullerton lead to one and trailed 50-47 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Titans, who shot 57-percent from the field in the second half, started the fourth on a 7-2 run over the first two-and-a-half minutes to take an eight point lead.
From there, Cal Poly battled its way back to eventually trim the deficit to four at 61-57 with just under five minutes left. However, the Mustangs were held scoreless for the next four minutes as Cal State Fullerton extended its lead back to eight.
Cal State Fullerton now advances to take on No. 2 seed UC Irvine Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Big West Tournament.
