HOW IT HAPPENED
- CSUN opened the game on a 9-0 run. The Matadors attacked the basket with all four of their field goals coming in the paint. The strong CSUN start forced the Highlanders to take a timeout with 6:55 to play in the first quarter.
- The Matadors pushed the lead to 11-0 before UCR switched to a zone defense. UCR scored five straight before a Deja Williams three-pointer. Despite being held to 5-of-20 shooting in the opening 10 minutes, UC Riverside outscored the Matadors 15-6 over the final 5:30 of the period to trail only by two, 17-15, after one quarter.
- The Matadors forced UC Riverside to miss 10 of the first 12 second-quarter field goal attempts as CSUN led 27-20 at the media timeout. The Matador defense allowed four points in the final six minutes of the first half. CSUN led 31-24 at the break.
- The Highlanders cut the CSUN lead to four early in the third quarter before a 12-2 spurt that was capped off a pair of Meghann Henderson three-pointers that put CSUN up 47-33. CSUN went 5-of-8 from three-point range in the third quarter to lead 56-43.
- CSUN began the final stanza on a 14-2 spurt, again led by three-pointers, this time from Henderson and De'Jionae Calloway (a senior, it was Calloway's first of her career). The Matadors took a 25-point lead, 70-45 when Henderson made a layup. The Matadors would allow only six fourth-quarter points, limiting UCR to 2-of-15 shooting.
- UC Riverside (4-22, 4-12 Big West) shot 26.1% for the game (18-of-69), the lowest by a CSUN opponent this season. In addition to her double-double, Henderson added three steals.
- Jordyn Jackson and Calloway both scored 12 for the Matadors. Jannon Otto led the Highlanders with 18 points.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "I thought Meghann was a good as she has been since she joined our program. She shot it well and was aggressive on the offensive end of the floor. She gave multiple efforts on the defensive end of the floor throughout the game. She made some shots and that got the rest of the team going. It was a really good team effort heading into the conference tournament next week."
UP NEXT
- CSUN (12-18, 7-9 Big West) will play Tuesday night in the first round of the Big West Tournament at Long Beach State. The Matadors' opponent has yet to be determined. The game time will be either 6 or 8:30 p.m. ESPN 3 will have the video stream while David Gascon will have an audio call on The CSUN Sports Network presented by Dignity Health on GoMatadors.com.
