Brianna Burgos had a coming out party, leading Sonoma State with a career-high 12 points, going 4-for-6 from the field and 3-for-4 from the charity stripe.
SCOUTING CAL POLY POMONA: Sitting alone in the third place seat with a 5-3 record in CCAA play (7-5 overall), the Broncos of Cal Poly Pomona look to continue their four-game winning streak when they play host to Sonoma State on Thursday.

BACK TO THE FUTURE: The future of Sonoma State women's basketball was on full display Saturday night as freshman
Brianna Burgos made the most of her playing time, scoring a team-leading and career-high 12 points in 18 minutes. However, Burgos was not the only freshman to get playing time on Saturday. Sonoma State head coach
Mark Rigby played five out of six freshmen on his bench and all but one put in at least one basket during the game. The Sonoma State freshmen have accounted for 120 of the 720 total points scored by the Seawolves this year.
SEAWOLVES' NOTES: Taylor Vigil continues to lead Sonoma State in scoring, averaging 9.8 points per game. Vigil is also among the conference leaders in field goal percentage, shooting 50.5 percent from the field. Also of note, Cal Poly Pomona undefeated against the Seawolves in Pomona, as Sonoma State has yet to come away with a victory in Kellogg Gym in the 13 year history between the two teams. Sonoma State is an even .500 when playing in Arcata against Humboldt State, sporting a 14-14 record all-time. Sonoma State will try to avoid their first five-game losing streak since the 2008-09 season.
