Box Score MONMOUTH, Ore. – Career-high scoring efforts from senior Stephanie Lopez and sophomore Remy Puou paced Cal State East Bay women's basketball to a 66-61 road win over Western Oregon on Saturday afternoon.

"Steph and Remy carried us tonight, especially when we needed it most. It was a good bounce back win for us, led by their solid performances," said East Bay Head Coach Suzy Barcomb.

Lopez finished with 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the floor and 7-of-8 at the free throw line. She became the first player since Cal State East Bay joined the California Collegiate Athletic Association during the 2009-10 season to score at least 29 points in a single game. Lopez performed on both ends of the court, matching her East Bay high mark with five steals.

Puou posted career-high scoring performances in back-to-back games after netting seven points against Saint Martin's in Friday's season opener. She made quick work improving on that mark after contributing 17 points in only 19 minutes before fouling out versus the Wolves.

The duo combined to score 46 of the team's 66 points and knock down 18 of the Pioneers' 22 field goals for the contest. Lopez and Puou totaled 23 first half points and it looked as though East Bay may cruise to a victory up by 16 with 80 seconds left until halftime.

Western Oregon (0-2) had other ideas and used a 7-0 scoring run to close out the half and the deficit to single digits. The Wolves pulled to within three points following a Sami Osborne 3-pointer near the 11-minute mark to make it 44-41 in favor of the visiting side.

Lopez responded with her own 3-pointer on the ensuing possession to stem the tide. Shannon Bland and company knocked down free throws in the final minutes to secure the victory.

"Shannon logged big time minutes and nailed two crucial free throws late that helped to seal the win. Both Shannon and Bianca Littleton worked hard for rebounds throughout the night," praised Barcomb.

Dana Goularte led Western Oregon with 18 points and six rebounds. She did most of her damage at the free throw line connecting on 9-of-10 attempts. Jordan Mottershaw finished with 11 points on 3-of-12 shooting from the floor.

CSUEB finishes with a split at the Hampton Inn & Suites D2 Shootout hosted by WOU. Barcomb earned the victory in her first head-to-head matchup against a former member of her coaching staff in WOU Head Coach Holli Howard-Carpenter.

"We are thrilled to get out of Oregon with a split and have very little time to prepare for our Tuesday game," added Barcomb.

Cal State East Bay (1-1) will travel to the city of San Rafael to take on Dominican (0-1) on Tuesday, Nov. 18.
