SAN BERNARDINO -- Cal State LA's women's basketball team had its impressive depth on full display Saturday while picking up an important and hard-fought California Collegiate Athletic Association road win.

Neither team enjoyed a double-digit lead until the Golden Eagles finally pulled away down the stretch. Cal State LA's defense was a big part of the win, limiting Cal State San Bernardino to just nine fourth-quarter points and only one over the final six minutes after the Yotes had closed to within one point. The Golden Eagles scored the last 10 points of the game over the final 4:29.

Jada Johnson and Nicole Flennaugh both had 12 points to lead a balanced Cal State LA effort.

The Golden Eagles surrendered the first five points of the game, but scored the next seven, including a go-ahead basket from Tiara Scott. After the Yotes took an 8-7 lead, the Golden Eagles got another basket from Scott and a pair of free throws by Asiasi and never trailed again. A layup by Flennaugh and a pair of free throws by Buggs following a steal by Silivia Fonogaloa gave the Golden Eagles a 17-12 lead after one quarter.

The Golden Eagles never led by more than eight points in the second period and grabbed the margin at halftime, 32-24, thanks to a layup by Raya Smith.

A layup by Asiasi to open the third quarter gave the Golden Eagles their first double-digit lead at 34-24, but the Yotes went on a 12-2 run to tie the game at 36-36. Cal State LA responded with a 3-pointer from Flennaugh and baskets from Buggs and Hodges to take a 43-36 lead and a layup by Yesenia Smith late in the period gave the Golden Eagles a 46-41 lead entering the final quarter.

Cal State LA saw its lead sliced to one point early in the fourth quarter, but a 3-pointer by Flennaugh began a game-ending 13-1 run over the final five minutes as the Golden Eagles scored the final 10 points of the game.

Cal State LA will return to action on Thursday with a road game at Cal Poly Humboldt.
