HAYWARD, Calif. – Despite holding its first halftime lead of the season, the 麻豆传媒社区入口 women's basketball team dropped a 64-48 decision to Humboldt State at Pioneer Gym on Thursday afternoon. The Pioneers (0-9, 0-5 CCAA) trailed just once in the first half, but saw the Jacks bounce back to hold a 40-18 advantage in the second frame to earn the victory. 

Sarah Finlay led the Pioneers with 10 points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field, including two threes.

The Pioneers opened the game with a 10-2 run that included a pair of threes from Lucchesi and freshman guard Maria Dinesen.
