Three starters scored 20 points each and another added 15, but it wasn't enough for the Wright State women's basketball team as the Cal Poly Mustangs took the lead midway through the second half and went on to an 80-76 decision Saturday night at the Cal Poly Holiday Beach Classic in San Luis Obispo, California.

The Raider lead was just 23-20 until WSU scored nine unanswered points, four of those coming from Whitney Lewis, to go up 32-20 with 5:20 remaining in the first half. Cal Poly responded with a 15-2 run of its own to regain the advantage at 35-34, but two Kanisha Ward foul shots and one from Tatianna Hall in the final seconds helped Wright State gain a 39-38 halftime edge.

A 7-2 burst, all coming from Shey Peddy, put Wright State ahead 48-43 with 14:22 to play, only to see the Mustangs go in front to stay at 51-50 at the 12:18 mark, six of the points by Tamara Wells.

Ward connected on a three to trim the Cal Poly lead to 54-53 with 10:27 left, but the Mustangs maintained their slight edge and looked to be in control as a Megan Harrison layup made it 76-67 with 3:22 to play.

The Raiders came as close at 78-76 on a Sierra Crayton putback with 10 seconds remaining, but two Sparkle Anderson foul shots at the 3.8-second mark provided the final margin.

Wright State outshot Cal Poly 43-40 percent and held the advantage in foul shots (26 of 36 compared to 22 of 30 for the Mustangs), points in the paint (28-22), and points off of turnovers (28-16). Cal Poly, however, had a 43-34 rebounding edge, including 19-10 on the offensive end, which resulted in a 26-15 second-chance points differential.

Crayton, Lewis and Peddy each scored 20 for the Raiders while Ward added 15. Crayton added seven rebounds while Ward dished out five assists and Peddy four along with three steals.

Harrison paced Cal Poly (3-3) with 17 points, 15 coming in the second half, while two Mustangs scored in double figures off the bench in Anderson (12) and Wells (10). Lisa McBride chipped in 11.

Wright State, now 0-5 on the season, wraps up tournament play Sunday against North Dakota State starting at 5:00 Dayton time.
