FRESNO, Calif. – Behind 21 unanswered points to open Friday night's game at the Save Mart Center, Fresno State ran away with an 86-51 win over Stanislaus State. It was the Bulldogs' largest margin of victory since a 35-point victory over Fresno Pacific on Nov. 17, 2015.

Four Bulldogs finished in double figures for the third straight contest with Bree Delaney leading the way with 17 points as the sophomore connected on 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. Candice White added 13 points, Kristina Cavey had 11 points and Gabby Standifer poster her first double-digit game for the 'Dogs with 10 points off of the bench.

How It Happened
Missing their first two shot attempts, Fresno State knocked down nine of their next 14, which included three 3-pointers, two coming from Gamez, as the Bulldogs raced out to a 21-0. Fresno State's opening run would last until 3:13 was remaining in the opening quarter as the Warriors were held to only seven shot attempts compared to the 'Dogs forcing eight turnovers. The Bulldogs built their lead up to 28 by the end of the quarter after Delaney dropped in a trey at the buzzer to give Fresno State a 32-4 lead.

Stanislaus State would get as close as 24 early in the second quarter but behind 61.9 percent shooting and a balanced effort in the first half, the Bulldogs led by 35 at the half, 50-15. Nine Bulldogs were in the scoring column as Delaney led the way with 11 points, going 3-of-5 from deep. Fresno State wouldn't look back taking its largest lead of the game at 42 with 1:39 remaining in the third quarter before finishing with an 86-51 scoreline.
