LAST TIME OUT
Jordan Jackson scored a game-high 23 points and led the Cal State Fullerton women's basketball team to an 88-49 victory over visiting Hope International in an exhibition game at Titan Gym on Nov. 1.Each of Fullerton's nine players who appeared in the game scored, as China Henderson recorded a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

"We wanted to see if we could learn to play together as a team," fourth-year head coach Daron Park said. "We spend so much time talking about selfishness and exhibiting selfish behaviors. If we can minimize those and show signs that we like playing for each other more than we like playing for ourselves, then I think we have the chance to have a special season."
