ARCATA, Calif. — The Cal State Monterey Bay women's basketball team flipped the script from Thursday's game by putting a 19-point drubbing on the Lumberjacks of Humboldt State on New Years Eve in Arcata. CSUMB led from the outset, growing its lead to as big as 20 late in the fourth quarter. 

McKenna Hill (Ventura, Calif.) led CSUMB in scoring with 18 points and was two rebounds short of a double-double. Also sniffing at a double-double was Courtney Keaton (Los Angeles, Calif.) who ended the night with 15 points and nine rebounds.

The Otters notch their first conference win of the season and are now 4-9 overall.
