Women’s Basketball falls to Cal State East Bay Monday, 68-52

The Dixie State women's basketball team fell to Cal State East Bay, 68-52, on Monday at the Burns Arena.

The Trailblazers (0-5) opened the scoring as junior forward Shelby Kassuba (Sammamish, Wash./Skyline HS) drew a foul while converting a layup attempt. Kassuba sank the free throw to complete the traditional 3-point play and give DSU an early 3-0 lead. The teams traded leads through the rest of the period, and CSUEB scored the final four points to take a 14-12 lead after the first quarter.

The Pioneers opened the second quarter with an 8-0 run to extend the lead to 22-12 early in the period. Junior guard Matti Ventling (Las Vegas, Nev./Las Vegas HS) stopped the run with a 3-pointer with 7:37 to go in the quarter. Two possessions later, freshman guard Jaden Gonzales (Plainview, Texas/Plainview HS) pulled DSU to within six points at 24-18 when she also nailed a triple. CSUEB pushed the lead back to eight points before Kassuba knocked down a jumper in the paint to cut the lead to 29-23 at halftime.

The Pioneers pushed the lead to 14 points in the third quarter at 48-34, but redshirt sophomore guard Tramina Jordan (Las Vegas, Nev./Centennial HS) connected on back-to-back treys to pull DSU to within eight points at 48-40 with 1:18 remaining in the third quarter.

The teams went back and forth in the fourth quarter until CSUEB pulled away for good with a 14-0 run midway through the period to push the lead to 66-45. Jordan connected on another 3-pointer three minutes later and freshman guard Kili Franks (Redding, Calif./Enterprise HS) scored on a layup to push the score to the final count of 68-52.

Dixie State shot 33 percent (20-of-59) from the field, 26 percent (8-of-30) from beyond the arc, and 40 percent (4-of-10) from the free throw line. Ventling and Jordan each finished with 11 points, while junior center Ashlee Burge (Riverton, Utah/Herriman HS) added seven points and four rebounds.

The Trailblazers now head to Salt Lake City for a matchup with Westminster on Friday at 2 p.m.
