The women’s basketball team advanced to the second round of the California Collegiate Athletic Association Conference tournament on Tuesday when they defeated seventh-seeded Chico State 68-55.

Senior guard Shomari Harris led the way for the Pioneers with a game-high 20 points while freshman Morgan Greene dominated the post as she accumulated a game-high 18 rebounds.

Next up for East Bay is a trip to The Sports Center in San Marcos at 2:35 p.m. to take on the third-ranked Cal Poly Pomona.

If East Bay wins on Friday, they will play the winner of Stanislaus State and UC San Diego on Saturday in the CCAA Conference championship game.
