 How It Happened


UC Merced opened the game up 11-3 halfway through the first quarter. Brombacher drove in a lay-up and Darté dropped a three on the next possession to get the Gators back into it. Darté tied the game up at the end of the quarter but a shooting foul on the Bobcats on their final possession of the quarter allowed them to take the lead back. Neither team scored within the first four and a half minutes of the second quarter. The Bobcats were first to get on the board and used a 8-2 scoring run to build a cushion. The Gators responded with a scoring run of their own. Gaines and Simone Murray hit back-to-back threes to tie the game up. SF State took a slim 27-26 lead heading into the locker room.

The Gators relied on good shooting from deep to hold the Bobcats off in the third quarter. SF State limited the Bobcats to two three-point baskets while Gaines and Darté each had two three-point shots. The Gators led by as many as ten points in the third but the Bobcats closed the gap and trailed 47-43 with one more frame to go. Brombacher and back-to-back lay-ups and Darté made her sixth three of the game during a 10-0 run that put the Gators up by 16 with 2:17 remaining.
