RIVERSIDE --- The wait is over for Kyle Getter, who secured win number one as a head coach on Friday night. In front of a sold-out crowd on Parent and Family Weekend, California Baptist took down Arkansas Pine Bluff, 74-60, to put the Lancers in the win column.
CBU is now 1-3 to start the season, as Wednesday snapped a three-game skid to open the year.
Getter praised the effort of his players after the game, stating, "I'm just so proud of our guys and how they responded in the second half. They emptied their tank. They played as hard as they possibly could, and we got a good result from it."
The effort showed as the Lancers scored a season-high 74 points, pulled down a season-high 34 rebounds, and knocked down a season-high 31 free throws. The Lancers' success at the line resulted in the fourth most made free throws in the program's Division I era.
"I think the free throw line was a big part of it," added Getter on his team's success. "That was because we had the courage to drive the ball and play off two feet. Anytime we can get paint touches, good things happen. So we promoted that. We tried to get in the paint."
The Lancers scored 24 of their points in the paint, which matches their season high.
It was a close game for most of the night, as there were seven lead changes and four ties. The big swing came with ten minutes remaining. With the Lancers trailed by one, CBU embarked on a 15-0 run to pull away. During that run, the Lancers knocked down six free throws.
Guard Terry Coner Jr. did the bulk of the work at the charity stripe, finishing 10-for-11, while adding a 5-of-12 showing from the field. Coner Jr. finished the night with a season-high 21 points. He also added a season-high six boards.
Justas Stonkus was next in the box score with 18 points, a career-high. Jordan Muller finished with 15 points while going a perfect 9-of-9 at the line.
Getter also singled out another player, Nick Richart. "Nick had four offensive rebounds. He played so well on both ends, trying to rebound the basketball; just being rugged down there, it got us a few extra possessions, and those matter."
Richart scored six points to pair with a career-high eight boards.
After the win, Getter was celebrated in the locker room as his team drenched him in water. Vice President of Athletics, Dr. Micah Parker, then presented Getter with the game ball from his first win.
The finale of CBU's three-game homestand will come on Tuesday when the Lancers welcome back Seattle U to the Fowler Events Center. The Lancers and Redhawks are no strangers to one another, as they both competed against one another in the WAC from 2018 – 2025. This will be the first non-conference meeting between the two programs.
Tuesday's tip is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale HERE.
