RIVERSIDE - California Baptist University women's basketball improved to 12-1 on the year and 4-0 in conference play after handling Seattle U by a score of 94-79 in Riverside.
Khloe Lemon had another fantastic game, setting a career-high for the second time this week with 20 points, five rebounds, a block, and a steal. Chloe Webb returned to top form today, scoring a game-high 26 points, six boards, six assists, and a season-high six steals.
Filipa Barros is maintaining her high-level play of late, putting up 17 points with five rebounds and seven assists. This is her longest streak of double-digit scoring as a Lancer, reaching five straight games on Saturday.
Nae Nae Calhoun made a massive impact against Seattle and matched her career-high in assists with 10 while also grabbing six rebounds and nabbing four steals.
As a team, the Lancers assisted 91% of made field goals today (30 of 33), the second-highest amount in the Division I era, bested only when the Lancers went for 92% (35 for 38) against UC Irvine in November 2021. They also posted their second-best free throw shooting game of the season, going 19-23 (82.6%) from the stripe, trailing only the effort from the UTEP game where CBU put up 36-42 (85.7%).
Webb's impressive first-half performance was just enough to give CBU the edge at halftime. Her 17 first-half points nearly matched her 19.3 season average, as the Lancers led 41-37 at the break.
The second half was more of what Lancer fans were used to seeing lately as CBU used runs of 7-0 and 10-0 to build their lead up to 15 midway through the third and as much as 20 at its peak in the fourth. Barros (nine points) and Sewell (seven) did the heavy lifting in the final quarter to bring home the victory for the Lancers.
CBU is back on the road next week, heading to Texas to face off with Tarleton and Abilene Christian on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.
