Box Score LA JOLLA, Calif. – Cal State East Bay survived an early barrage of 3-pointers from UC San Diego before ousting the host Tritons 78-58 in California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) action on Friday night. Brianna Terrance's career-high 27 points are the most by any Pioneer in a CCAA contest since East Bay joined the league for the 2009-10 season.

UC San Diego (7-4, 4-3 CCAA) led by as many as nine during the first half after shooting 50 percent from the field (13-of-26), including a 6-for-9 effort from deep. Miranda Seto had a flawless shooting first half scoring 10 points, to go along with four assists and two steals. She finished with a team-high 19 points, while no other Triton managed more than eight.

A late first half basket by Meaghan Cichoke put the Pioneers ahead 39-37 at intermission. However it was Terrance who led the way offensively scoring 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the floor in just 13 first half minutes. She would end her night 12-of-17 from the field including a pair of 3-pointers.

Cal State East Bay broke the game open early in the second half breaking a 39-39 tie with an 11-1 scoring run to go up for good. Micah Walker, Danielle Peacon, Tori Breshers, and Terrance all contributed points to the go-ahead point spurt.

"We have several key players each game and it's not necessarily who scores. We want to continue to build upon playing unselfish basketball," said East Bay Head Coach Suzy Barcomb following the team's fifth straight win.

While Seto was the lone major scoring threat for the home squad, Terrance was accompanied by Stephanie Lopez and Peacon. Lopez matched her season-high effort with 21 points, and Peacon added 15 on an efficient 6-of-7 shooting performance.

Terrance and Peacon saw limited action due to early foul trouble but the vaunted Pioneer defense held the Tritons to 58 points. UC San Diego managed only 21 second half points and was held to its lowest scoring total against any CCAA opponent this season.

"We wanted to try and limit the effectiveness of (San Diego's) big three scorers. We did not execute the game plan in the first half, but came around to defend better in the second half," stated Barcomb. "After a sluggish first half, we played with more energy and desire out of halftime. We defended and challenged with more urgency."

UCSD's Megan Perry and Erin Dautremont combined to average over 25 points per game heading into the night. Both were held in check as Perry managed just seven points and Dautremont to a season-low six.

Cal State East Bay (9-5, 6-1 CCAA) has won both of its CCAA road tilts this season and will look to make it three straight on Saturday, Jan. 11, against Cal State San Bernardino (2-8, 1-6 CCAA).
