SEASIDE, Calif. -- Charles Minlend scored 20 points, Jimbo Lull added 18 on 7-of-10 shooting and San Francisco used a big run in each half to beat LIU Brooklyn 84-52 on Sunday night.

The game was moved to campus of Cal State Monterey Bay due to poor air quality in the California Bay Area as a result of wildfires.

Matt McCarthy and Nate Renfro had dunks 31 seconds apart to spark an 18-0 run that made it 76-48 when Jordan Ratinho hit a 3 with 2:51 to play.

Frankie Ferrari had 10 points and seven assists for the Dons, who won their fourth consecutive game by at least 30 points, extending the program record.
