BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Ay Ahmed scored 18 points for the second straight game and Damiyne Durham added 16 more by knocking down 5 of 10 attempts from beyond the arc as Cal State Bakersfield held off Idaho for a 68-45 victory Tuesday night.

CS Bakersfield shot 41.2 percent from the field (21 of 51) and was even sharper from long range, knocking down 9 of 18 attempts from beyond the arc.

Victor Sanders scored 10 points to lead Idaho but was the lone shooter to reach double figures and the Vandals fell to 1-1.

Idaho shot 30 percent from the field, but attempted just 40 shots.

The Roadrunners face Fresno Pacific Friday. Idaho returns home to face Division III Linfield.
