The Lancers exploded in the second half against the Seasiders to win by their largest margin of the season, 102-61. The CBU win coupled with a Grand Canyon loss to Academy of Art puts CBU one back in the PacWest standings with four to play.
CBU never trailed in the game and posted season highs in points, assists (32), shooting percentage (60 percent) and margin of victory. The Lancers' 32 helpers also ties a conference high this year and their 102 points is the most a CBU team has scored since putting up 105 against Chaminade on Feb. 20, 2012.

Lesley Vodicska added an equally impressive double-double, scoring 12 points and grabbing 10 steals. Her 10 thefts matches both a season high and ties the third highest single game total in program history. Vodicska also had 10 steals against Concordia on Nov. 24.
A 23-2 run that spanned more than six minutes in the second half helped CBU seize total control of the contest as they went up 85-48 at the 8:31 mark.
CBU put four players in double figures in the game and hit a season high 45 field goals. The Lancers put up the season high offensive numbers while hitting just 7 of 17 3-pointers.
