LOS ANGELES -- Cal State LA's women's basketball team picked up its program-record 15th straight win on Thursday to set the stage for a monumental California Collegiate Athletic Association game on Saturday.

The Golden Eagles overcame a stern challenge from Cal State San Bernardino, eventually pulling away for a 79-62 victory in University Gym. Cal State LA (21-5, 18-3 CCAA) matched the program record for wins in a season and extended its record for conference victories.

The Golden Eagles will now face Cal Poly Pomona on Saturday with championship stakes.

The Golden Eagles are one game back and can earn a share of a first-ever conference title with a win over the Broncos.

Nevaeh Asiasi had a game-high 24 points, nine rebounds and four assists in another outstanding performance. She has now scored 20 or more points in 14 games this season. She led four Golden Eagles in double figures. Ronyae Jackson had 15 points and five rebounds, while Ariyah Smith had 10 points, six rebounds and nine assists and Mary Cotton had 10 points and six rebounds.

Princess Cassell led the Coyotes (12-14, 9-11 CCAA) with 18 points, while Jaushlynn Ruffin had 13 points and six rebounds and Rebecca Saidoff had 12 points and six assists. Cal State San Bernardino is in a three-way tie for sixth heading into its final game at Cal State Dominguez Hills on Saturday. The top six teams will qualify for the CCAA Tournament.

Kyara Walter had eight points for the Golden Eagles, while Amaya Fuentes had five points and four rebounds.

Cal State LA found itself tied at 26-26 after one period and held just a 43-40 lead at halftime. The Golden Eagles, though, finally got some breathing room in the third quarter, using a 15-3 run to open up a 65-47 lead in the final minute of the third quarter before the Coyotes scored the final four points of the period to make it 65-51.
