TURLOCK -- Cal State L.A.'s women's basketball team was unable to straighten things out Friday night in a California Collegiate Athletic Association contest against Cal State Stanislaus.

The Golden Eagles shot reasonably well, making 23-of-53 field-goal attempts (43.4 percent) and 23-of-27 free-throw attempts (85.2 percent).

Cal State L.A., though, was then outscored, 25-5, to fall behind by 16 points, 35-19, and Cal State Stanislaus eventually built its lead to 21 points, 51-30, by halftime.

The Golden Eagles trailed by as many as 32 points in the second half. Back-to-back baskets by Tiernan and a basket by Belt cut the margin to 21 points, 71-50 and two free throws by Danielle Snyder cut it to 20 at 84-64 with five minutes remaining.

Two free throws by Belt got the Golden Eagles to within 19 points, 86-67, but that was as close as they could get.

Cal State L.A. will continue its roadtrip in Chico with a game against Chico State on Saturday.
