SEASIDE, Calif. — Victoria Dorn (Marina, Calif.) stole the show as the Cal State Monterey Bay women's basketball team was unable to complete an epic comeback on Friday night's CCAA opener against Cal State East Bay.

Dorn completed a career night with career high's in points (25), rebounds (6) and blocks (2). Twenty-one of Dorn's 25 points came from three point land as she sunk seven three pointers, tying an MB record.

The Otters got out to a hot start, out scoring East Bay 20-11. However, the Pioneers answered right back with a 20-point quarter of their own, netting 26 in the second to take a 37-30 lead at half. Cal State Monterey Bay was unable to close the gap trailing by as many as 14. CSUMB did get within two on none other than a Dorn three pointer, but clutch free throws by East Bay down the stretch put the game away, leading to a 68-62 Pioneer win.
