The Chico State women’s basketball team ran its winning streak to three games with a 67-58 win over Cal State Dominguez Hills in a California Collegiate Athletic Association contest in Acker Gym.

Neither team shot well in the game. Both teams were hitting just 36 percent from the floor, but Chico’s 10-point halftime lead, 29-19, was a big enough cushion for the win.

The Wildcats led the entire game until the Toros tied it up 41-41 nine minute into the second half. Chico built back up the lead and held on for the win. Dominguez Hills got as close as five points with eight minutes remaining, but could never bridge the gap.

It was Chico State's (10-6, 8-4 CCAA) eighth-straight win over Dominguez Hills (5-11, 3-9 CCAA).

Leah Rice picked up her team-high sixth double-double of the season with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Kim Abts added 16 points and seven assists and Marissa White was the only other Wildcat in double figures with 15 points.

Tameka Blue led the Toros with 15 points and teammate Delaney Turner added 10 points, including a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line.

The Toros have a homestand next weekend with games against Cal State, San Bernardino Friday and Cal Poly Pomona Saturday.
