Sierra ranked No. 2 in the CCCWBCA Preseason Poll (Northern Region), came out fast in the opening quarter with a 21-2 score and built up a 41-14 halftime lead, and never looked back.

Sierra (3-0) scored the long-range nets with 30 points (10-22), while the Mounties were only 3-15 and the Wolverines were 7-8 (87%) at the free-throw line and Mt. SAC was only 6-19 (31%).

The Mounties begin non-conference action Wednesday (Nov. 11) as they host San Diego Mesa (0-1).
