LOS ANGELES -- Cal State LA's women's basketball team got back on the winning track Thursday with a California Collegiate Athletic Association win over Stanislaus State.

The Golden Eagles started quickly, endured a rough second quarter and then played a strong second half to beat the Warriors, 79-62, in University Gym. Cal State LA (5-1, 1-1 CCAA) was playing for the first time since losing its first game of the season to Cal State Dominguez Hills on Nov. 24.

Olivia Hodges had a spectacular game for the Golden Eagles, recording a powerful double-double with a season-high 16 points and a career-high 17 rebounds.  Gabriella Rones had 15 points, seven rebounds and four assists, Nevaeh Asiasi had 14 points, seven rebounds and three assists and Lily Buggs had 14 points, six rebounds and four assists.

Talia Maxwell had 18 points, six rebounds and five blocks for Stanislaus State (2-5, 0-1 CCAA), while Da'Myiah Lewis had 14 points and eight rebounds.

Amaya Fuentes had nine points and seven rebounds for the Golden Eagles, while Ashari Cassell had six points and one rebound.

Cal State LA shot 34.2 percent for the game (25-of-73) and was 12-of-35 from 3-point range. The Golden Eagles were 17-of-22 from the free-throw line. Stanislaus State shot 33.3 percent (26-of-78) and was 5-of-24 from 3-point range. The Warriors were 5-of-11 from the free-throw line.

The Golden Eagles had a 54-45 rebounding edge and committed 21 turnovers to 17 for the Warriors.

The Golden Eagles had a strong start and held a 21-9 lead after the first quarter. They were just 2-of-17 from the floor in the second quarter, though, and Stanislaus State surged to a 34-30 lead before a late 3-pointer by Kyara Walter made it 34-33 at halftime.

Cal State LA then got back on track in the second half. A 3-pointer by Rones gave the Golden Eagles a 40-39 lead and a tip-in by Hodges and a layup by Asiasi made it 44-39 and the Golden Eagles led the rest of the way. Buggs hit a pair of free throws and a 3-pointer to extend the lead to 54-41 and Cal State LA took a 54-47 lead into the fourth quarter.

A layup by Hodges and a three-point play by Asiasi pushed the lead to 59-47 early in the fourth quarter and a 3-pointer by Rones made it 64-49. Stanislaus State got to within 66-58, but Fuentes hit a 3-pointer and Hodges made a basket to make it 71-58 with four minutes remaining. A three-point play by Cassell gave the Golden Eagles a 74-60 lead with three minutes to go and a 3-pointer by Buggs and a pair of free throws by Rones accounted for the final points of the game.

Cal State LA will return to action on Saturday with a home game against Cal State Monterey Bay at 1 p.m.
