Davis, CA - The UC Riverside women's basketball team withstood a second half Aggies rally on Thursday evening and hit 11 of 12 free throws down the stretch to hang on for the 74-62 win at UC Davis.
The Highlanders (15-11, 8-5) were tied with UC Davis for third in the Big West standings heading into Thursday's contest, but with the win move up to claim sole possession of third place with just three games to go.
Tre'Shonti Nottingham led all players with 25 points on 6 of 11 shooting including 10-10 from the free throw line. Alyssa Morris added 16 points and nine rebounds, while Rhaya Neabors had 14 points. Vicky Deely led UC Davis (18-8, 7-6) with 21 points.
The Highlanders shot efficiently from the field in the first half, hitting 55.0 percent of their shots including 4 of 7 from beyond the arc. The Aggies scored the first bucket of the game, but UCR responded scoring the next seven straight on a free throw by Nicole Anderson and three pointers by Morris and Nottingham.
UC Riverside took its first double-digit lead at 17-7 on a Brittany Palmer fastbreak layup with just under 10 minutes in the half. The lead fluctuated between nine and 11 for the next couple minutes until the Highlanders outscored the Aggies 9-2 to take a 29-12 lead at the 2:11 mark.
UC Davis cut the lead to 12 a minute later as UCR took a 32-19 advantage into the break.
