HAYWARD, Calif. – This weekend Cal State East Bay women's basketball will play its final two games inside Pioneer Gymnasium of the 2014-15 season. The Pioneers will host Cal State San Bernardino on Friday, Feb. 20, and No. 22 ranked Humboldt State on Saturday, Feb. 21.

Both the Pioneers and Coyotes will wear pink during Friday's contest as part of the Play4Kay initiative. "The Kay Yow Cancer Fund, in partnership with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and The V Foundation, is a charitable organization committed to being a part of finding an answer in the fight against women's cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved and unifying people for a common cause," according to the Play4Kay.org website.

Alyssa Palma, Sharissa Estremera, Stephanie Lopez, and Micah Walker will be honored prior to Saturday's game as the four seniors will be playing their final career game inside Pioneer Gymnasium. Walker will become only the second Pioneer to play four full seasons under current head coach Suzy Barcomb.

Cal State East Bay will look to avenge a pair of two point losses to these squads in their original meetings this season from Jan. 15-17. In both contests the Pioneers had the potential game-tying or game-winning possession in the final seconds of regulation.

COYOTES ON THE PROWL
The Coyotes will enter Hayward as winners of three straight league contests. They most recently held on for a 62-60 victory over Cal State Stanislaus (6-16, 4-14 CCAA) inside Coussoulis Arena on Saturday, Feb. 14. CSUSB's Chelsea Barnes and Brianna Harden each finished with double-doubles and combined to contribute 30 points and 22 rebounds.

BITTER BATTLES

ON THE DEFENSIVE
Cal State San Bernardino leads the league in scoring defense (55.8) through 18 California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) contests. The Coyotes held Cal State East Bay to its season-low scoring output earlier this season in a 54-52 CSUSB win. The Pioneers are averaging more than 65 points in nine league home games this season.

MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENT
CSUEB Coach Barcomb picked up career win No. 300 after last Friday's 66-53 road win over Cal State L.A. She will be honored during halftime of the men's basketball game against the Coyotes for her achievement.

EMOTIONS RUNNING HIGH
The aforementioned four Cal State East Bay seniors will be playing the final home game of their respective collegiate careers on Saturday against Humboldt State. It will be the biggest "Senior Night" for the program since the 2008-09 season which included current East Bay Assistant Coach Emily Schaefer.

HOME SWEET HOME
Cal State East Bay is 9-3 inside Pioneer Gym this season and has won the past two meetings in Hayward versus Humboldt State. Both victories were by double-digit margins including a 61-44 win on Jan. 4, 2014, in which Lopez finished with seven assists and no turnovers.

LEAD THE WAY, JAE
Humboldt State leads the CCAA making better than 36 percent of its 3-point attempts in league action entering the weekend. Jae Shin leads the league knocking down nearly 47 percent of her attempts from three overall and better than 44 percent in conference contests. Shin led the Jacks with 18 points, including 4-of-9 makes from distance, in the team's 68-66 win over the Pioneers earlier this season.

BEST IN THE WEST CONVERSATION
Humboldt State is tied atop the CCAA standings with Cal State Dominguez Hills heading into the final four games of the regular season. The Jacks are currently ranked No. 22 nationally and No. 2 in the latest NCAA Division II West Region Poll. HSU's only two league losses this season were by one point to Dominguez Hills last week and a 33-point drubbing by Cal Poly Pomona on Jan. 23.

"SENIOR NIGHT" EXCITEMENT
Cal State East Bay will look to send its seniors out with a victory in the home finale for the third straight season. Last season the Pioneers held on for a 63-60 win over Chico State. East Bay took down Cal State Stanislaus 56-54 in overtime in the 2012-13 "Senior Night."
