Collie registered 17 points and a career-high 15 rebounds as the Cougars came back from 20 points down with 6:41 remaining to eventually overtake Northern New Mexico, 100-91, in double overtime on Saturday night at MiraCosta College. He scored 10 points in a 27-5 run that helped the Cougars force the first overtime, before nailing a 3-pointer with 33 seconds left that tied the game and helped CSUSM push the contest to a second overtime.
