HAYWARD, Calif. -- Fresh off defeating Cal State San Bernardino in the CCAA opener on Tuesday, the Cal State East Bay women's basketball team looks to make it 2-0 in the conference play and 6-2 overall when they face Chico State on Saturday at 5:30 p.m.

Pioneer Gym is scheduled for a "blackout" in the last game before the University's finals week. Fans are encouraged to wear black, and the first 500 in attendance will receive black #BeastBay t-shirts. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

The Pioneers out-scored San Bernardino 21-6 in the second quarter of Tuesday's game and cruised to a 76-55 win for their third straight victory.

The seniors paced East Bay against CSUSB. Tori Breshers had 24 points on 10-18 shooting with eight rebounds to lead the team. Laci Effenberger posted a double-double, recording 10 points and 12 assists, and senior Ashleigh Anderson came off the bench to net 12 points and grab seven rebounds. 

Breshers became the fourth Pioneer ever to record 1,000 career points last weekend, and she enters the weekend as the second-leading scorer in the CCAA at 18.1 ppg.

Chico State doesn't play its conference opener until Friday, when they travel to San Francisco State. In their last game, they defeated non-conference opponent Saint Martin's 76-59 on Sunday at Western Oregon's tournament. The win helped the Wildcats remain undefeated at 4-0 for the season.

Brian Fogel is in his eighth season as Chico State's head coach and saw his team finish the 2014-15 season in eighth place in the CCAA with a 7-15 record (10-16 overall).

The young Wildcats only feature one senior on their roster and are led in scoring by sophomore Whitney Braham at 11.5 points per game. Senior Brooke Bowen is a key contributor as well, averaging 10.8 points a game. Sophomore Natalie Valenzuela is the Wildcats' leading rebounder, grabbing 5.8 a contest.
