TURLOCK, Calif. – Junior Ashley Jenkins led all players with 18 points, but it was not enough as the Cal State San Marcos women's basketball team dropped a 63-60 decision to host Stanislaus State in California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) action on Saturday night at Ed and Bertha Fitzpatrick Arena. 
 
The Cougars fell to 3-6 overall and 2-4 in conference play.  The Warriors improved to 8-4, 4-2 in the CCAA. 
 
In addition to her 18 points, Jenkins tallied seven assists and five rebounds. Junior Paige Barber registered nine points and five boards while sophomore Savannah Camp chipped in eight points and a team-best six rebounds.
