LA JOLLA -- Cal State LA's women's basketball team gave No. 21 UC San Diego all it could handle Saturday night in a California Collegiate Athletic Association contest before falling victim to a fourth-quarter rally by the home team.

The Golden Eagles had an outstanding third quarter and built a 12-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but UC San Diego took advantage of a huge advantage at the free-throw line and stormed back for a 73-64 win in RIMAC Arena. Cal State LA (4-13, 2-9 CCAA) proved to be a tough matchup with UC San Diego (15-3, 10-2 CCAA), taking fourth-quarter leads in both meetings before the Tritons pulled away late to win both contests.

UC San Diego was 21-of-22 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter to just 1-of-3 for Cal State LA. The Tritons outscored the Golden Eagles, 31-13 in the final period.

For the game, UC San Diego was 29-of-31 from the free-throw line, while Cal State LA was 4-of-7.

The Golden Eagles shot 42.6 for the game (26-of-61) and limited the Tritons to 40 percent (20-of-50). The Golden Eagles were 8-of-19 from behind the 3-point arc, while the Tritons were 4-of-19.

UC San Diego held a 39-29 rebounding edge and Cal State LA committed only 14 turnovers to 18 for the Tritons.

The Golden Eagles started slowly and fell behind 16-4 at the outset. A 7-0 run, though, consisting of a 3-pointer by Hall, a free throw by Geena Greene and a 3-pointer by Orlich got the Golden Eagles back into the game. A 3-pointer by Oliver cut the deficit to 20-18 to open the second quarter and, after falling behind by nine points, baskets by Greene and Parsons made it 32-27 at halftime.

Cal State LA got rolling in the third quarter and took its first lead at 37-36 on a Parsons basket. Two baskets by Fabricius and another by Parsons pushed the advantage to 43-36 and a 3-pointer by Hall made it 51-42 entering the fourth period.

Knox hit a 3-pointer to give Cal State LA a 54-42 advantage and a basket by Fabricius made it 56-44 with 8:40 remaining. UC San Diego, though, went on a 14-0 run to take the lead. A basket by Fabricius tied it at 58-58 with 2:10 to go, but UC San Diego scored the next seven points to take the lead for good.
