Kyana Wiley Has Breakout Week For CSM Women’s Basketball

Kyana Wiley had a breakout week of double-doubles for College of San Mateo’s women’s basketball team, which continued unbeaten in home conference games.

The 5-10 freshman out of Pacifica’s Oceana High School keyed a 74-68 comeback victory over Las Positas with 24 rebounds and 20 points. The Lady Bulldogs trailed, 60-55, with seven minutes to play when Wiley and guard Kaitlyn Tamondong executed an 8-point run for a 63-60 lead that held up. Tamondong made the first basket of the run and fed Wiley underneath towards three more hoops. Wiley had 11 points in the final period. Tamondong had nine assists and 14 points in the game.

San Mateo got off to a good start at state No. 7-ranked City College of San Francisco on Friday, leading 16-12 after the first quarter before taking a 78-54 loss. CSM’s high scorer in both games was guard Megan Jajeh. The freshman guard out of Mercy (San Francisco) had 27 points, including five 3-pointers and four assists, against Las Positas and tallied 16 points at CCSF.

WILEY PACES REBOUNDERS: Wiley had 13 rebounds and 11 points against the Rams. She leads the Coast North in rebounding with an 11.7 average and paces all 45 Northern California teams in offensive rebounds with a 5.8 average (No.3 in the state).

CSM, 2-2 in Coast North Conference play and 6-13 overall, plays at San Jose CC (11-9, 2-2) on Friday before protecting its 2-0 home record on Jan. 24 against currently No. 13 state-ranked Chabot (14-4, 2-1).

CCSF (16-3, 3-0) is the only Coast North unbeaten team. Las Positas (3-13, 1-2) is in sixth place.
