Senior Lauren Sims<\/a> led four 49ers in double figures with 19 points as the Long Beach State women’s basketball team cruised to an 86-67 victory over Cal State Northridge Saturday evening at The Matadome.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 49ers, who completed the season sweep against the Matadors, improved to 9-13 overall and 5-4 in Big West action.<\/p>\n

LBSU shot a blistering 53.6 percent from the field and outrebounded CSUN, 39-27. In addition to Sims’ 19 points, senior Karina Figueroa<\/a> had 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Senior Ally Wade<\/a> finished with 15 points, while sophomore Tipesa Moorer<\/a> chipped in 10 points.<\/p>\n

The Beach took an early 5-2 lead on a jumper by Figueroa, but the Matadors stayed close and went up by one at the 15:18 mark. Junior Melanie Lisnock<\/a> then ended a three-minute scoring drought for LBSU with a pair of free throws to put the 49ers back on top, 7-6.<\/p>\n

After trading baskets over the next five minutes, Long Beach State eventually went on a 13-5 run, capped by a 3-pointer from Sims, to pull ahead, 30-22, with 3:41 remaining.<\/p>\n

Cal State Northridge (3-16, 1-8 BWC) trailed by seven and had the ball with time winding down, but Wade was able to get a steal and went all the way to the basket for the layup and the foul. After Wade completed the three-point play with six seconds on the clock, CSUN was unable to get a shot off and the 49ers took a 41-31 lead into intermission.<\/p>\n

LBSU shot 55.6 percent from the field and held a 20-14 advantage on the boards in the first period.<\/p>\n

Early in the second half, Janelle Nomura made a layup to bring the Matadors within nine, but The Beach proceeded to go on a 14-6 spurt, capped by a Brett Timmons<\/a> layup, to take a 17-point advantage (60-43) with 11:52 remaining. <\/p>\n

Freshman Jazmyne Porter<\/a> then single-handedly put the 49ers up by 23 with two steals and seven points in a 12-second span. After hitting a pair of free throws, Porter stole the ensuing inbounds pass and converted it into a layup. After getting another steal in the backcourt, Porter hit a 3-pointer, giving LBSU a 71-48 lead.<\/p>\n

The 49ers cruised the rest of the way, going up by as many as 26, en route to the 86-67 victory.<\/p>\n

Cal State Northridge shot 44.3 percent from the field. Katrina Thompson paced the Matadors with 16 points and Violet Alama added 15.<\/p>\n

Long Beach State returns to the Walter Pyramid next Thursday (Feb. 11) when it plays host to conference-leading Cal Poly at 7 p.m. (PST).<\/p>\n
