Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 101, Cal State Fullerton 81--Guard Mark Wozniak made six of 10 three-point shots en route to a game-high 21 points in the Mustangs’ Big West Conference victory at San Luis Obispo.

San Luis Obispo shot 53% from the field and made 14 of 30 three-point shots. That was nine more than the Titans managed and only one fewer than the school-record 15 Fullerton gave up against Houston in 1993.

The Mustangs (9-10, 4-4) gave Wozniak plenty of help. Five other players scored in double figures, including Jeremiah Mayes with 17 points and Jabbar Washington and reserve Ross Ketcham with 15 each.

Foul-plagued Ike Harmon, the Titans’ leading scorer, finished with 10 points, but he played only 11 minutes, three in the first half, and took only six shots. Guard Kenroy Jarrett led Fullerton (9-9, 3-5) with 15 points, eight of them at the free-throw line. Matt Caldwell had 14 for a team that lost its eighth road game of the season.

“Harmon was the guy who really hurt us in both games last year, so we sent Jeremiah [Mayes] right at him in the first half, and he was able to get that third foul,” Cal Poly Coach Jeff Schneider said. “That was a key play for us. We started playing with more confidence.”

Harmon scored 26 points in one game and 22 in another last season against the Mustangs.

Titan Coach Bob Hawking said Harmon’s absence was a contributing factor in Fullerton falling behind at halftime, 55-42, but Hawking also was disappointed with his team’s defensive effort against Wozniak.

“Everyone focuses on Wozniak, and we did too,” Hawking said. “But we didn’t do a very good job of it. He was wide open.”
