FRESNO, Calif. \u2013 The San Diego State women\u2019s basketball team (7-3, 1-0) won at Fresno State (6-6, 0-1) 63-53 in their Mountain West opener Wednesday evening. The Aztecs held the Bulldogs to 29% shooting from the floor and had four players score in double-digits, led by Naomi Panganiban<\/a>\u2019s 15 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t play our best game, but I\u2019m happy we were able to pull out a win,\u201d Head coach Stacie Terry-Hutson<\/a> said after the game. \u201cWe are playing well defensively and doing a good job following the scout, but now we\u2019ve got to make a jump defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panganiban was 6-for-10 from the floor and scored 11 of her team-high 15 points in the first half. She has led the Aztecs in scoring in each of the last three games, averaging 16.7 points per game over that span.<\/p>\n

Nat Martinez<\/a> finished with 12 points, CJ Latta<\/a> had a season-high 11 points and was 3-for-3 from three and Nala Williams<\/a> chipped in 10.<\/p>\n

A 12-2 run gave the Aztecs an early lead and they had just one turnover in the first quarter while holding the Bulldogs without a field goal from a six-plus minute stretch.<\/p>\n

Their lead ballooned to double-digits at the half after holding Fresno State to another cold stretch where they finished the second quarter 1-for-10.<\/p>\n

The lead would grow as big as 17 points before a Fresno State run cut their lead to 59-53, but SDSU scored the final four points to win by 10.<\/p>\n

SDSU outscored the Bulldogs 26-18 in the paint.<\/p>\n

STAT OF THE GAME
The Aztecs shot 41% from three (7-for-17).<\/p>\n
