Cal State LA trailed, 19-15, with six minutes left in the first half, but closed out the period with a 22-4 run to open up a 37-23 halftime lead. A layup by Fields and a 3-pointer by Davis gave the Golden Eagles a 20-19 lead and started a 12-0 run that included four straight points by Agbaosi and a 3-pointer by Davis. After Haywood back-to-back layups to make it 27-23, the Golden Eagles closed the half with a jumper by Vickers, 3-pointers by Sam Ibeh and Davis and a steal and layup by Vickers to take a 37-23 lead at the break.

Cal State East Bay, though, scored the first 10 points of the second half to change the momentum. The Golden Eagles fought off the surging Pioneers and still held an eight-point lead, 61-53, with 6:25 to go, but they were finally overtaken by an 11-0 run that put Cal State East Bay ahead for good.

Vickers stopped the run with a 3-pointer to make it 65-64 with four minutes remaining, but the Pioneers responded with a 7-1 run to take a 72-65 lead with 1:35 to go.

A layup by Agbaosi made it 72-67 with one minute left and a pair of free throws by Pearson Jr. made it 74-69 with 47 seconds left, but the Pioneers hit three free throws in the waning seconds to account for the final margin.

Cal State LA will now enjoy the holiday break and return to action on Jan. 2 in a conference game at Chico State.
