Bearcats bring Broncos' season to a halt

The fact that the Cal Poly Pomona women's basketball team made it to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight this past season is cause enough for celebration among the Bronco community. But Cal Poly Pomona was overcome by a stronger Northwest Missouri State team in the NCAA quarterfinal as the Bearcats bested the Broncos in St. Joseph, Missouri by a 78-65 score.

Sarah Semenero (19 points), Reyana Colson (15 points), Megan Ford (14 points) and Charlene Popoff (10 points) all scored in double figures for Cal Poly Pomona. The Broncos suffered from first half shooting woes with its 27 percent shooting percentage landing the team in a 39-22 hole at the half. While Cal Poly Pomona responded in the 2nd half by shooting 44 percent and outscoring Northwest Missouri State, 43-39, it was too little to late for the Broncos.

Congratulations to the Broncos (28-5) on an outstanding season under interim coach Danelle Bishop and hopefully this is only the beginning of much more to come.
