No. 9 Broncos Maintain Lead Atop CCAA Standings With Win Over Cougars

SAN MARCOS, Calif. – Cal Poly Pomona women's basketball won their fourth straight game on Thursday evening in San Marcos, defeating the Cougars by a score of 77-56. With the win, the Broncos improve to 19-2 overall on the season, marking the highest winning percentage in the west region, while also maintaining their lead atop the CCAA standings with a 14-1 conference record.
 
The Broncos controlled the game from wire-to-wire, holding the Cougars to just one lead change and limiting them to 56 points on 41.1 percent shooting. Cal Poly Pomona settled in quickly, closing the first quarter with an 18-10 lead behind efficient interior scoring and active defense. The Broncos shot 61.5 percent from the floor in the opening period and never trailed again. San Marcos made a push in the second quarter, barely outscoring CPP 19-17, but the Broncos still carried a 35-29 advantage into halftime.
 
The Broncos have excelled in the third quarter all season long, and Thursday night was no different, as CPP erupted for 25 points in the third while holding the Cougars to just 13. A 15-0 scoring run midway through the period blew the contest open, fueled by transition baskets, second-chance points, and relentless pressure on the defensive end. The Broncos finished the night with a 48-26 edge in points in the paint and forced 19 San Marcos turnovers.
 
Individually, Hunter Hudson powered the Broncos with her fourth double-double of the season, scoring a career-high 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting while also pulling down 11 rebounds. The CCAA's current leading scorer Sydney Nelson added 20 points while shooting .600 from the field, her sixth consecutive game scoring 20 or more points. Andrea Stajic chipped in 11 points and logged a team-high 38 minutes, while Brielle Minor coordinated the offense with seven assists to go along with 10 points. Mydrea Moore filled the stat sheet with eight points, three rebounds, and two steals, helping anchor the Broncos' defensive effort.
 
Cal Poly Pomona maintained its composure in the fourth quarter, extending the lead to as many as 26 points on a layup from Khamiyah Anderson, before closing out the 21-point victory.
