SANTA BARBARA -- Westmont took advantage of its outside shooting Saturday night and it cost visiting Cal Poly Pomona a shot at winning its 2009-10 season opener.
The Warriors outscored the Broncos 24-0 from 3-point territory and earned a 60-47 victory over No. 6 CPP.
CPP’s inability to score from outside snapped its streak of games with at least one three at 218 games.
