Weber State won its ninth-straight game and head coach Randy Rahe made history as the Wildcats beat Sacramento State 83-73 Saturday night at the Nest in Sacramento.

Weber State shot 58 percent from the field and was 11 of 21 from 3-point range. WSU was also 8 of 9 from the free throw line and outrebounded the Hornets 34-23. The 23 rebounds is the fewest the Wildcats have allowed this season.
