TURLOCK, Calif. — Senior forward Courtney Keaton (Bishop Montgomery HS) ended her collegiate career in a blaze of glory, grabbing 16 rebounds to break the Cal State Monterey Bay season record with 271 boards in CSUMB's 64–52 loss at Stanislaus State Saturday night in Fitzpatrick Arena.

Keaton needed exactly 16 rebounds to break to mark of 270 set by Johanna Mahoney during the 2004 season, CSUMB's last at the NAIA level. Not only did she break that rebounding mark, she added 11 points to cap her career with four consecutive double–doubles.

CSUMB also got 16 points and seven assists from senior guard Aubri Smith (Ventura College/Buena HS) in her final collegiate game, but it wasn't enough to overcome a shaky start or a major lull to end the third and begin the fourth quarter.

The Otters trailed 15–8 after one period but rallied to within 32–28 at the half. It was still a 4–point game (43–39) with less than 90 seconds remaining in the third quarter when Stanislaus needed just four minutes to embark on a 15–0 run that put the game on ice.
