The Vaqueros shot 36 percent and only hit 1-17 from 3-point range. The Brahmas (2-17) hit 33 percent, making 1-9 from long range and 7-16 from the free-throw line. The Vaqueros drained 21-of-29 foul shots and dominated the boards 53-30.

"I think we're realizing that we have to stay with what's working," said coach Sandrine Krul. "When we go away from what's working, we get outscored like we did in the second quarter."
The Vaqueros won the second half by 22 points (49-27).
SBCC opens the second round of WSC North play on Saturday when it hosts Cuesta at 7 p.m.
