LA JOLLA, Calif. — The Cal State Monterey Bay women's basketball team looked to ride the momentum from last weeks win into UC San Diego with hopes of an upset on the road.

McKenna Hill (Saint Boneventure HS) dropped in 11 points in the Otters 75-53 loss.
Christine Golfo (Logan HS) contributed nine points while
Courtney Keaton (Bishop Montgomery HS) recorded an eight points, eight rebound evening.
LEADERS OF THE RAFT: POINTS: Hill -- 11;
REBOUNDS: Keaton -- 8;
ASSISTS:Keaton -- 2;
BLOCKS: Emily Hardin (Monache HS) -- 2;

THE LAST WORD: "Every time we cut the lead tonight they hit big shots. We weren't sharp enough defensively to beat the first place team in the league. We will look to clean those areas up for tomorrow to close out the weekend."
-Head Coach Kerri Nakamoto
