Late Toreros Three Edges Titans in Defensive Struggle
SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — Olivia Owens’ 3-pointer with 45 seconds left proved the decisive basket as San Diego edged Cal State Fullerton 56-55 in a nonconference women’s basketball game Saturday at Jenny Craig Pavilion.
The Toreros, who led 32-23 at halftime, survived a second-half rally and 27 turnovers. The Titans, led by Cristina Jones’ 16 points, missed a potential game-winning shot in the final seconds. San Diego’s 7-for-16 shooting from 3-point range offset a 31.3% overall shooting performance. Cal State Fullerton dominated points in the paint, 34-20, but shot just 10 for 19 from the free-throw line. The Toreros improved to 6-7, while the Titans fell to 5-6.
