Fullerton, CA - The Hope International University women's basketball team (9-4, 1-2 GSAC) dropped their second GSAC game of the season as they fell 90-69 to the Menlo College Oaks on Thursday evening in the Darling Pavilion. 

Amira Austin made the first bucket of the game but it was all Oaks in the first as they answered with a 13-2 run to go up 13-4 with 6:34 to go. The Oaks then extended their lead to 25-13 with 3:46 to go. Shiane Talley answered with a layup but the Royals couldn't contain the Oaks as they trailed 32-17 at the end of the first. The Oaks continued their momentum in the second as they opened on an 8-0 run to extend their advantage to 40-17 with 6:13 to go. The Royals regrouped and went on an 8-2 run finished off by a three from Aliyah Gonzalez to make it 42-25 but the Oaks had all the answers as the Royals went into halftime down 53-27.

The Royals continued to fight in the third as they outscored the Oaks 11-6 led by six points from Shiane Talley to make it 59-38 midway through the quarter. The Oaks though came right back to make it 67-40 before the Royals finished the quarter on a 5-2 run to pull within 69-46. The Royals looked for a way back into the game in the fourth as a bucket by Shailissa Jarret cut the Oaks lead to 73-51 with 8:26 remaining but the Royals weren't able to string together a run as they fell 90-69. Casey Fust led the Royals with 22 points while Talley added 21.

The Royals continue GSAC action at home as they host Jessup on Saturday, January 13 at 12:00 PM in the Darling Pavilion.
