The Chico State women’s basketball team lost Friday to the Cal State East Bay Pioneers 64-61.

In the first half the Wildcats played sloppy and had difficulties breaking the Pioneers press and half court zone trap with 14 turnovers. The ‘Cats found themselves down 35-24 at halftime.
The second half, the Wildcats came out pouring three-pointers with the help of junior guard Hannah Womack as she hit a big three at the 4:00 minute mark to close in the game 56-53.
Junior guard Annie Ward brought a big spark to the game off the bench hitting threes and pulling in rebounds with 14 points.
The ‘Cats are now 8-5 on the season and 4-5 in conference play. They host Cal State Monterey Bay Saturday in Acker Gym at 5:30 p.m.
