12/18/2004


SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Nevada’s Meghan McGuire scored a game-high 17 points en route to a 64-57 win over Sacramento State on Saturday afternoon at the Hornets Nest.

The Hornets, now 2-5, had four players score in double figures for the second time this season, with junior guard Cindy Alldrin scoring a career-high 12 points and junior forward Ashley Cadotte matching her career-high scoring 12 points also. Senior guard Tyeisha Brown, who leads the team averaging 13.1 points per game, and junior forward Katelyn Ciampi each scored 10 points. It was the sixth time this season Brown has hit double figures and the second consecutive game that Ciampi has hit the 10-point mark.

Sacramento State’s final lead in the game, 23-21, came off a lay-up from Ciampi with 17:59 left in the second half. The Wolf Pack proceeded to go on a 30-15 run in the following 10 minutes to give them their biggest lead of the game, 51-38 at the 7:35 mark.

During that stretch McGuire and guard Talisha Anderson combined for 20 of Nevada’s 30 points. Anderson finished the game with 15 points and forward Jessica Pres

lar scored a double-double with 13 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.

The Hornets continued their frustration of opponents on the defensive end, coming up with 12 steals, while Nevada turned the ball over 18 times. Sacramento State is now averaging 11.9 steals per game.

For Cadotte, a Oregon City, Ore. native, it was the first time this season she has led or shared the team lead in scoring and the third time she has finished in double figures. Cadotte’s 10-of-14 performance from the free-throw line was her best of the season. Her 10 made free throws were also the most of any Hornet this year.

Alldrin led Sacramento State with six rebounds and also snagged a team-high four steals, while dishing out a team-high three assists.

The Hornets were down 7-0 early in the first half, before going on a 15-6 run to take a 15-13 lead on two free throws from Brown with 4:36 left in the first half. The Wolf Pack (4-4) took a 21-19 lead at the half.

Sacramento State shot 35 percent (20-of-57) from the floor, while Nevada finished shooting 40 percent from the floor, including 46 percent (13-of-28) in the second half.

The Hornets had been averaging 4.0 made three-pointers per game, but went cold from behind arc against the Wolf Pack, sinking only 1-of-11 attempts.

Sacramento State will hit the road for a 5:05 p.m. game at UC Irvine on Tuesday, Dec. 21.
