CSM UPSETS 2ND PLACE CHABOT TO MOVE TO WITHIN A GAME OF GLADS IN COAST BASKETBALL

 

College of San Mateo put on a late surge to knock off second place Chabot College, 66-61, in a Coast North women's basketball game Wednesday evening.

 

The win brings the Bulldogs (3-3) to within a game of now co-second Chabot (4-2) in the Coast standings at the end of the first half of league play.

 

A steal and lay-up by Megan Jajeh gave the Bulldogs the lead at 57-55 with 4:52 to play during a 6-point run and CSM held off the visiting Gladiators down the stretch. San Mateo led only 61-60 with two minutes to play before scoring the next four points, keyed by a backwards 3-point play. Victoria Mataele made the first of two free throws and Kyana Wiley put back the missed second attempt for a 64-60 margin with 1:29 left. CSM (8-10 overall) limited Chabot (15-8 and ranked No. 7 in Northern California) to just a free throw made the rest of the way.

 

Kaitlyn Tamondong led San Mateo scorers with 15 points. Emily Latu had 11 points. Wiley added ten points and led CSM rebounders with six. Jajeh had five assists and seven points. Chabot's Zakiya Mahoney led all scorers with 24 points before fouling out.

 

--CSM hosts Ohlone (0-6) on Saturday at 3 p.m. to start second half play before a crucial meeting with visiting rival and now co-second Skyline (4-2) Wednesday at 5 p.m. at San Mateo.
