FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Brett Bailey scored 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds, Cameron Neubauer had 20 points, and San Diego pulled away in the second half for an 80-65 win over Northern Arizona on Saturday.

Bailey, who finished 8 of 14 from the field and 9 of 13 from the line, scored 17 of his 26 in the first half as the Toreros took a 33-27 lead. San Diego (3-5) opened the second on a 14-2 run to lead 47-29, and the Lumberjacks never got within 10 the rest of the way.

Mike Green scored 18 points and made four 3-pointers for Northern Arizona (2-7). Jaleni Neely and Brooks Debisschop each added 10 points.

"Our bench shot well scoring 36 points, but our starters didn't," NAU coach Jack Murphy said. "That's a nice sign for our bench, but it's not good for what we're trying to do across the board. We can't continue to shoot like this and expect to win games."

Green had six of the Lumberjacks' 17 made field goals with the team hitting on just 27.4 percent of its shot attempts.
