CSM women's basketball  6-1 as Carter nears 500-point mark; Mission visits Nov. 22

The College of San Mateo women's basketball team swept all three of its visiting foes at the weekend CSM Classic.

In their first 2023-24 season games at College Heights Gym, the Bulldogs (6-1) easily dispatched Santa Barbara City College, 63-48, Hartnell College, 78-55, and College of Marin, 72-56, to run their current winning streak to five games. Their only loss was to East Los Angeles College in a season-opening doubleheader in Riverside.

None of the  remaining 12 teams in the Coast Conference has more wins than San Mateo, which is ranked No. 23 in the state coaches poll.

CSM sophomore guard Jayonnah Carter has been averaging nearly 20-points a game to raise her career point total to 499 coming into Wednesday's 5 p.m. contest with visiting Mission College (2-2) at College Heights.

Carter scored 36 points in the three CSM Classic games. Joslyn Moore led the Bulldogs with 57 points, including 25 against Hartnell.
