Box Score SAN FRANCISCO — Dominican women's basketball fell 87-77 to San Francisco State at The Swamp on Sunday.  

Junior Natalie Diaz and senior Sandra Ikeora led the Penguins (2-1) as they both notched double-doubles. Diaz poured in 25 points and collected 11 rebounds while Ikeora finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Junior Alanna Scott also finished in double-digits with 11 points, shooting 3-4 from three-point range. Courtenay Brown led the Gators (1-0) with 24 points in 25 minutes off the bench.

Dominican started slowly offensively as freshman Julia Razo got the Penguins on the board a few minutes into the first quarter with a three-pointer. San Francisco State took full advantage, jumping out to a 22-10 lead on a jumper by Imani Smith.

Dominican was able to chip away at the deficit in the second quarter as a free throw from Ikeora brought them to within 43-37. After the Gators later stretched the lead back out to 12 on a three from Brown, senior Alexis Price pulled the Penguins back within nine on a three of her own in the final minute before halftime. 

After falling behind by as many as 14 in the third quarter, a pair of free throws from Diaz cut the deficit to five with under a minute left in the period. 

Brown hit a three halfway through the fourth quarter to extend the lead back to double-digits, putting San Francisco State ahead 81-69 and the lead would not shrink much from there. Dominican got to within eight on a free throw from Ikeora with just under four minutes to play but that was as close as they would get.
