FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State received outstanding performances from Lindsay Logan, Chantea Fleming and Channan High en route to a 67-61 victory over Sacramento State at the North Gym. The win improves the Bulldogs' record to 2-2 while the Hornets fall to 0-5.
The game was close for nearly the entire 40 minutes. Neither team had a lead larger than five points in the first half, which ended with the score tied 32-32. In the second stanza, the Bulldogs opened up a 10-point advantage eight minutes in. The Hornets chipped away at the lead and trimmed it to four with 1:03 remaining but could get no closer.
The victory was a turnaround for Fresno State, which had lost its last two games despite having leads in the final five minutes. Logan helped propel FS to the win by scoring eight points in the last 5:45.
Sacramento State's chances were dealt a severe blow a mere one minute into the game when its second-leading scorer and top rebounder Sephora Scoubes went down with an ankle injury. Nichole Hardaway stepped up in Scoubes' absence, scoring 14 points until she went down with an ankle injury with 11:30 to go in the second half.
For the fourth consecutive game, Logan scored in double figures. The sophomore led both teams with 17 points and eight assists. High had a career-high 12 rebounds and scored eight points. Also in double figures for the Bulldogs were Chantea Fleming, with 15, and Tiffany Simon, who had 14.
