ARCATA, Calif. — It took the Cal State Monterey Bay women's basketball team nearly six minutes to score its first points of the second quarter in Saturday's CCAA affair at Humboldt State. That dry spell allowed the Lumberjacks to expand their lead from five to 18 points and the Otters never recovered as Humboldt earned a 64–42 win in Lumberjack Arena.

CSUMB shot just 25 percent  (4–for–16) from beyond the arc while turning the ball over an uncharacteristic 17 times. Humboldt, meanwhile, shot 44 percent from long range (11–for–25) while turning the ball over six fewer times. Those two stats basically told the tale.

CSUMB got 10 points from Aubri Smith (Buena HS/Ventura College) and 10 rebounds from Courtney Keaton (Bishop Montgomery HS). Brianna Tucker (Clovis North HS) passed a game–high four assists.
