CSB Take
California State University, Stanislaus showed early dominance with a solid 2-0 halftime lead fueled by Alexis Cervantes and Colin Davis. Cervantes’ consistent scoring gives the Warriors a reliable offensive threat, but the late equalizer by Hawai’i Pacific highlights the need for tighter defensive execution down the stretch. Maintaining the unbeaten home record is a positive, but closing out matches will be critical as conference competition intensifies. The upcoming game against Dominican presents an opportunity for the Warriors to build momentum and secure a crucial home victory.
