ARCATA, Calif. -- Hannah Sourek led all players with 14 points, but the Sonoma State women's basketball team surrendered a nine-point second-half lead and dropped a 65-57 decision to host Humboldt State on Friday night at Lumberjack Arena in Arcata.
The Seawolves fell to 4-6 overall and are still in search of their first CCAA win at 0-3 in conference games thus far. The Lumberjacks improved to 4-5 and 2-1 in the CCAA.
Sonoma led by nine points at the 7:30 mark of the third quarter after a free throw by
Jerrica Crosby and stayed in front of Humboldt until the 1:14 mark of the third when HSU tied the game at 41-all before taking the lead for good just before the start of the fourth period.
Madison Burroughs drained a three-pointer with 7:38 left in the game to get the Seawolves within one point at 45-44, but the Lumberjacks went on a 17-3 run over the next six minutes to secure the come-from-behind win over Sonoma State.
Sourek was the only SSU player in double-figures with the aforementioned 14 points. Crosby chipped in with nine points. Humboldt State had four players score in double-figures, three of them tied for the team-lead with 12 points (A'Jaee Foster, Jessica Johnson and Kiana Brown).
Sonoma State will return home next Saturday to host archrival Chico State at 5:30 pm in The Wolves' Den.
