San Francisco gets key road win as Masic, Fuchs power balanced scoring

San Francisco closed out a 92-79 win over San Diego on Sunday, February 15, improving to 15-13 overall and 7-8 in West Coast Conference play. The Toreros fell to 11-17 overall and 5-10 in league games.

The Dons were led by guard Vukasin Masic, who scored 22 points on 7-of-11 shooting, including 4-of-7 from three-point range, and added 4-of-6 at the free-throw line. Forward David Fuchs delivered a 21-point, 13-rebound performance, giving San Francisco a consistent interior presence and a reliable finishing option down the stretch.

Game flow: halftime deficit, then a decisive second half

San Diego carried a 41-36 lead into halftime, with San Francisco needing a stronger finish after trailing for much of the opening half. Legend Smiley scored eight points in the first half for the Dons, helping keep the margin manageable.

San Francisco’s second-half execution proved decisive. Fuchs scored the final six points for the Dons, sealing a 13-point margin that reflected San Francisco’s improved closing efficiency and ability to convert possessions into points late.

Supporting cast and efficiency at the line

San Francisco also received an efficient scoring contribution from Guillermo Diaz Graham, who finished with 17 points while going 4-of-4 from the field and 8-of-9 at the free-throw line. That accuracy at the stripe helped stabilize San Francisco’s offense during key stretches, particularly as the game tightened after halftime.

  • San Francisco leaders: Masic (22 points), Fuchs (21 points, 13 rebounds), Diaz Graham (17 points).

  • San Diego leaders: Toneari Lane (16 points), Dominique Ford (16 points), Adrian McIntyre (14 points).

What the result means in the WCC race

With the win, San Francisco added a road result that strengthens its conference profile as the regular season continues. The Dons’ scoring balance—three players at 17 points or more—paired with Fuchs’ rebounding, provided a template for winning away from home: steady perimeter shot-making, dependable work on the glass, and late-game composure.

San Francisco trailed 41-36 at halftime, then finished the game with a controlled closing stretch to secure the 92-79 outcome.

For San Diego, the loss came despite having three double-figure scorers clustered between 14 and 16 points, indicating competitive output but not enough stops and late conversions to match San Francisco’s closing run.
