LOS ANGELES -- Khalil Ahmad scored 25 points and Cal State Fullerton won for the sixth time in its last seven games, topping Loyola Marymount 88-80 on Friday night.
The Titans had their five-game win streak snapped at California last weekend and their win in the 27th meeting with the Lions gives them the overall series lead 14-13.
Ahmad, the Big West Player of the Week earlier in December, hit 7 of 15 shots from the field and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line. Jackson Rowe added 19 points and Arkim Robertson contributed 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
