ROHNERT PARK, Calif-  Behind 21 points from Danae Wellander and 20 from Genny Anderson, Sonoma State advanced to the CCAA Basketball Tournament Semifinals with a 65-55 win over Humboldt State on Tuesday night at Seawolf Gym.  The Seawolves also reach the 20-win plateau for the first time since 2001-02 as they go to 20-8 on the season.  The 'Jacks will see their season end at 16-12.

Sonoma State will head to San Bernardino for a Friday afternoon matchup against UC San Diego.  The Tritons were a 59-56 winner of San Francisco State over Tuesday.  Chico State and Cal Poly Pomona will meet in the other semifinal. 

The Seawolves needed some late magic to avoid the upset on Tuesday night.  Trailing by five with 5:31 to go, Lauren Redfield hit a three to put the Seawolves within two.  A pair of Chelsey Armacost free throws tied it a minute later and the Seawolves went up for good on a Genny Anderson jumper with 3:40 left. 

Sonoma State held the Lumberjacks scoreless for nearly six minutes, from the 6:21 mark until a layup by Paige Peterson with :45 seconds remaining.  SSU made it a ten-point bulge by making ten of their last eleven free throw attempts.

The Seawolves got points from just four players in the game.  Following Wellander and Anderson were Chelsey Armacost with 15 and Lauren Redfield with nine.  Redfield led the team with ten rebounds and Wellander had seven assists.

Genny Anderson's 20 points move her to within four of 1,000 for her career.  She will have a chance to become just the fourth SSU women's basketball player to reach that milestone on Friday.

The Lumberjacks got 12 points and 15 rebounds from Sonoma County product Katie Franci.  Paige Peterson was HSU's leading scorer with 14 points.
