SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco State women's basketball team fell to Sonoma State 71-46 at Main Gym Thursday evening in their second to last home game of the season.
- SF State falls to 5-20 overall and 4-16 in CCAA action. The Seawolves improve to 15-12 and 10-10 in the CCAA.
- Alexsandra Alvarado led the team in points (20), rebounds (six) and steals (three)
- Gators only shot 7.1 percent from deep compared to the Seawolves' 33.3.
- Sonoma had the advantage on rebounds 46 to 27.
- The Seawolves' Trena Rathjen led all players with 21 points.
After a quiet first six minutes, Sonoma went on a 11-2 scoring run to lead 15-6 after one frame. The Gators were 1-for-6 from the field during that run. The Gators offense found more of a groove in the second quarter, with Alvarado scoring nine of the Gators' 15 points. Trailing 38-21 heading into the third quarter, a jumper from
Kierra Johnson and a pair of free throws from Alvarado got the Gators back within 13, but that would prove to be as close to regaining the lead the Gators would get.
The Gators host Cal State San Marcos on Saturday, February 24 for their final home game of the season. Tip-off is at 1 pm. The Gators will honor seniors Kali Myers, Brilonnie Bell and Kierra Johnson prior to the start of the game. Fans can stream the games live on the CCAA Network.
