SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Cal Poly women's basketball erased an early second-half deficit and survived a late Seattle University push to earn a 57-55 win over the Redhawks on Wednesday night inside Mott Athletics Center.
The Mustangs improved to 3-1 on the young season with the victory and remained unbeaten at home through three regular-season contests.
Cal Poly trailed 39-32 midway through the third quarter after Seattle opened the second half on a 7-0 run, but the Mustangs responded with a 9-0 surge of their own to reclaim the lead. The two teams traded blows through the fourth quarter, with Cal Poly ultimately doing just enough at the free-throw line and on the defensive end to hold on.
Madison Butcher led the Mustangs with 16 points, knocking down a single-game career-high five 3-pointers on nine attempts in 35 minutes. Sumer Lee added 12 points, four assists and three rebounds, while Dessirae Ulmer chipped in 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting before fouling out late in the final frame. Maddy Tauro contributed 11 points, three assists and three steals, and Robinson pulled down a team-high five rebounds to go with four points and two assists.
Cal Poly shot 21-of-47 (44.7 percent) from the field and 8-of-18 (44.4 percent) from beyond the arc. The Mustangs were out-rebounded 35-31 but made up for it with a 24-20 advantage in points in the paint and a 16-15 edge in points off turnovers.
Over the two-game midweek set against Idaho State and Seattle, Butcher averaged 9.0 points and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 38.5 percent from 3-point range. Lee averaged 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game over that stretch, while Ulmer shot a blistering 63.6 percent from the field and averaged 7.0 points. Tauro added 7.5 points and 1.5 steals per contest, and Robinson averaged 5.5 points and 5.0 rebounds.
Cal Poly returns to action next week at UCLA (Thursday) and Washington (Sunday) as the Mustangs continue their non-conference slate.
