“There was a lot of momentum on the court, and as long as we continue to use that momentum and focus on it, we will be able to continue with our success,” Chow said. Once Chow stepped on the court, she made four of four three- pointers and had a perfect game in the first half, shooting perfectly from the field. The Titans were able to turn the game around and led by as many as five points. Headed into the half, the Titans were up 25-24 over the 49ers. Starting off the second half, the Titans turned up the heat and applied more defensive pressure on the 49er offense. Junior guard Megan Richardson, who had 10 points and six assists, led the Titans’ opening minutes with back-to-back shots to extend CSUF’s lead, 29-24. Chow, who was on her way to a perfect game, made all her shots except one free-throw, tying the school record for three-pointers at six for six. “I loved it,” said Marcia Foster Titan Head Coach. “Lauren Chow has struggled since her ACL surgery and was having a hard time thinking she wasn’t the player she was before she got hurt. She’s not the player she once was. She’s the player that she is now, and she is better now.” After a three-pointer made by LBSU, the score was tied at 38. Senior guard Lyndsey Grove sunk three three-pointers in a row and helped the Titans secure a com- manding lead over the 49ers. When a foul was called for CSUF, Grove was sent to the line, where her two shots marked her 1,000th career-point. Grove marks the 20th Titan in the school’s history to reach the milestone, following Richardson, who was acknowl- edged a few games before.
