Fresno State was able to close the gap before halftime, leaving the score tied at 26-26 entering the break. The Bulldogs scored the first basket of the second half, and CSUSM kept it close, but couldn't quite complete the comeback.

Jacob Ranger added 12 points, and Tim Steed scored 10 points and added 4 steals for San Marcos against his former team.
