Miss Valley State comes in on a streak of failing to score more than 53 points in their last three games, a trend the squad is of course eager to reverse.

It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and post 14 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact Miss Valley State found out the hard way on Friday.

Santa Clara can attribute much of their success to Christoph Tilly, who scored 20 points along with 6 rebounds and 4 steals.
