SAN MARCOS, Calif. -- Carly Gill drained a game-tying three pointer with eight seconds remaining in regulation after another three-pointer by Madison Burroughs moments earlier, erasing a six-point deficit in just 22 seconds to force overtime, but the Sonoma State women's basketball team suffered a 63-61 loss to host Cal State San Marcos Thursday night at the Sports Center in San Marcos. 

The Seawolves fall to 8-10 and 5-9 in the CCAA.  The Cougars rise to 6-11 (6-7 CCAA).

Sonoma led for the majority of the first quarter, but a three-pointer by CSUSM at the end of the frame spearheaded an 8-0 run by the hosts to take a lead they wouldn't give up until Gill's long range bucket at the end of the fourth quarter knotted the game at 55-55.  The Cougars did manage to get up a layup from the paint as the buzzer sounded, but the shot rimmed off and the teams would battle in extra time.

Gill led off the overtime period with a layup, followed by another layup by Burroughs their next time down the floor to sprint out to a four-point 59-55 lead with four minutes left in OT, but Cal State San Marcos ended the game on an 8-2 run to steal away the win.

Burroughs scored a team-high 18 points to come within 25 points of 1,000 for her career.  Sam Erisman tied a career-high with 13 points off the bench, Ugochi Anudokem netted 12 points and Gill added nine, while Jerrica Crosby corralled a career-high 10 rebounds.

The Seawolves shot 40.7 percent from the floor on 24 of 59 shooting, holding the Cougars to 34.9 percent (22 of 63).  Sonoma turned the ball over 16 times which led to 27 points for CSUSM.  Conversely, SSU turned 11 CSUSM miscues into only 12 points.

Sonoma State returns to action Saturday at UC San Diego.  Tipoff from RIMAC Arena is set for 5:30 pm.
