Explosive 2nd Half leads Women’s Basketball to victory over Chapman 66-60

Cougars turn it on down the stretch to defeat visiting Panthers

Box Score
The Cal State San Marcos Women's Basketball team hit the ground running after halftime and never looked back, using a 10-to-1 run early in the 2nd period to come back and defeat Chapman 66-60 Saturday night.

The first half was mostly a defensive battle, as both teams forced a lot of turnovers, and it took the CSUSM over 15 minutes to get their 10th point, although you would never believe it watching the Cougars shoot the ball in the second half. San Marcos entered halftime trailing 26-20, but roared back with 46 points
after the break to close out the victory.

CSUSM shot an amazing 59.1% percent from the field in the second half, and made 18-of-21 free throws (85.7%). Gabriell Munsch led the Cougars with 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting, and Sidney Dobner added 13 points, all in the second half, to help San Marcos complete the comeback.

MacKensie Harnett had an excellent game as well, recording the third double-double for Cal State San Marcos this season, scoring 10 points and notching a season-high 12 rebounds. The Cougars had a great night defensively forcing 29 Chapman turnovers, led by Ashley Jsames' 5 steals and 2 blocks. Jsames also had a game-high 7 assists.

CSUSM, now 12-13, will look to add to their win streak Thursday as they take on CSU Maritime up in Vallejo, CA. The Cougars will get another chance to face Chapman (11-9) as they close out regular season play February 18th.
