Complete Box Score

(Rohnert Park) -- Kevin Blunt scored a game high 25 points and the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros took advantage of a late second half collapse by the Sonoma State offense to defeat the Cossacks 72-62 in a CCAA game played Saturday night at Cossack Gym.

The Cossacks led by as many as 11 points in the second half, but went ice cold over a five minute span late in the half that allowed the Toros to take the lead.

The Cossacks led 51-42 with 6:45 to play but Dominguez Hills scored the next 15 straight points to jump in front 57-51 with 2:08 left. A free throw by Harvey Carey finally stopped the bleeding, but by then it was too late for the Cossacks.

SSU did a nice job defensively most of the way on the Toros' leading scorer, Jacob Poole, who came in averaging nearly 20 points per game, but had just one point in this contest until he nailed a three pointer that started the 15-0 run.

Arinze Anoruo led the Cossacks with 14 points, while Deonta Dorrough and Harvey Carey each tallied 12. Freshman Earl Rowland added 15 points for the Toros.

CSUDH (10-10, 11-14) closes out the season next weekend with home contests against Cal State Bakersfield and Cal State Stanislaus.
