After two ties and six lead changes through the first eight minutes of play, Sonoma State kickstared a 9-0 run at 12:01 to increase its lead to 22-13before eventually outscoring the Pioneers 22-8 from there to carry a 44-21 advantage into halftime. Most of the second half saw the Seawolves slowly build on their big lead and go home with a stress-free victory.
The Seawolves shot 58.2 percent (39-67) from the floor, including 58.8 percent (10-17) from three-point range while holding the Pioneers to 37.5 percent (21-56) overall.
