The Wildcats are suddenly the hottest team in the conference with three straight wins.

Chico State led 15-2 in the early going only to see Humboldt State completely turn the tables and take a 43-34 lead into the break. It got worse for the Wildcats. The hosts scored the first six points of the second stanza.

Miller stopped the bleeding with a 3-pointer. But it wasn't until the 13-0 run, capped by Miller's layup and then her 3-pointer with 4:20 left, that they took their first lead of the second half.

Humboldt State (8-8 overall, 5-7 CCAA) responded, however, and led 66-62 before Riezebos scored inside to draw the Wildcats within two with 2:06 remaining.

It was still a two-point game when Hannah Womack spotted Ward open in 3-point range and Ward knocked it down to give Chico State the lead for good.

Riezebos pulled down a defensive rebound, was fouled, and knocked down both of her free throws to make it a three-point lead with eight seconds left. Jae Shin missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Chico State returns home for four is a row beginning Friday night against Sonoma State at 5:30.
