It took five losses before the Cal State Stanislaus women's basketball team picked up its first win last season.

Shristy Kumar made sure the Warriors didn't go wanting this year.

The senior from Delhi scored a career-high 25 points in Stanislaus' 85-79 victory over Western Oregon at the Northwest Nazarene Hampton Inn Classic in Nampa, Idaho, on Saturday.

Stanislaus (1-3) led by as much as 19 points late in the first half. The Warriors shot 50 percent from the field in the first half to lead 49-31 at halftime. Three other Warriors scored in double figures.

Kumar made four 3-pointers and was 3 for 3 from the free throw line. She was named to the all-tournament team.

Stanislaus kicks off its California Collegiate Athletic Association schedule Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. with Chico State, followed by the men's game at 7:30 p.m.
