(SAN FRANCISCO) PLNU Women's Basketball opened up the 2026-27 season with a dominant 83-43 victory at San Francisco State on Monday night.
 
The win marks the first for Point Loma alumna Carlotta Kloppenburg-Pruitt in her Sea Lions' coaching debut.
 
"I'm really proud of our group," Kloppenburg-Pruitt said. "We had some first game jitters, but we channeled that into high energy and played really hard. We have some great things to learn from moving forward."
 
Point Loma scored the first 10 points of the game and held San Francisco State scoreless for the opening six minutes.
 
Cassidy Bartolotto's 3-pointer late in the first put PLNU up by 14 after one before Hannah Golan's steal and score beat the halftime buzzer, giving the Sea Lions a 43-21 edge over the Gators going into the locker room.
 
Andri Wilkinson then put the visitors up by as many as 46 points halfway through the fourth quarter before the Sea Lions won their season opener by 40 points.
 
Golan and Ruby Vlahov led all scorers with 15 points, while Sage Winslow and Wilkinson both added 11 points.
 
In total, 10 Sea Lions scored at least five points.
 
PLNU dominated in every statistical category, outscoring SFSU 52-16 in points in the paint while outrebounding the Gators 51-24.
 
Point Loma scored at least 16 points in all four quarters, including 24 in each of the second and third periods.
 
The Sea Lions limited the Gators to single-digit points in both the first and third.
 
Point Loma (1-0 overall) returns home to host Cal State San Marcos on Friday in the team's home opener. Tip-off in Golden Gym is scheduled for 4 p.m.
