11/9/2013 1:47:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Iowa City, Iowa - The UC Riverside Women's Basketball Team concluded its opening weekend of competition at the Hawkeye Challenge with an 89-54 loss to #14 Dayton on Saturday afternoon. (Box Score).
Natasha Hadley led three Highlanders (0-2) in double-figures with 13 points while Kiara Harewood added 12 and Brittany Crain had 10. Dayton's (1-0) Ally Malott led all players with 20 points.
Despite shooting 40 percent in the first half, UCR fell behind as the Flyers got out to a 19-10 lead following a three-point play from Cassie Sant at the 12:00 mark. The Highlanders then rallied scoring six of the next eight points to cut the margin to four, 21-16, after a Hadley layup with 9:24 to go in the half.
Within two minutes, though, Dayton countered with a 9-1 run to increase its margin to 30-17, and went into the half with a 49-29 advantage. The Flyers were 18-of-35 in the half for 51.4 percent shooting.
Dayton's lead reached 24 points early in the second half, but the Highlanders cut it to 15, 59-44, capped off by a Harewood jumper with 13:22 to play. That forced a Flyers timeout, but Dayton emerged from the break scoring eight straight points to push the lead back to 23.
UC Riverside never got closer than 22 the rest of the way as the Flyers came away with the 89-54 victory.
Dayton continued its hot shooting with 51.5 pecent from the field for the game while limiting the Highlanders offense in the second half to 28.6 percent.
The Highlanders now head back to California for road matches at San Jose State and Santa Clara on November 15 and 17 respectively.
