Box Score - UC Riverside 3, CSU Bakersfield 1
Riverside, CA - The UC Riverside volleyball team enjoyed their first winning weekend of the 2009 season as they defeated CSU Bakersfield 3-1 on Saturday evening in non-conference action after previously earning a 3-2 Big West victory over Cal State Northridge on Friday night.
The Highlanders (6-17) won 25-21, 22-25, 26-24, and 25-19 as they improve to 4-2 in their last six matches. With their two wins this weekend, UCR wins back-to-back matches for the first time since Oct. 4-10, 2008 and wins consecutive home matches for the first time since 2001.
Tonbara Youpele tallied a double-double for UCR with 19 kills and 11 digs. Dominique Cowling added 15 kills and 14 digs while Kelley Quinn (pictured) recorded 13 kills. Brittney Murrey posted 42 assists while Shannon Moyneur added five blocks for UC Riverside.
The HIghlanders scored first in set one and opened up a 12-8 and 17-12 advantage en route to a 25-21 win. UCR hit .325 for the set while keeping the lead the entire time.
In the second, the Highlanders' .176 hitting percentage was slightly better than CSUB's .175, but the Roadrunners took the set 25-22 to tie up the match a one set apiece.
Down 20-17 in the third set, UC Riverside went on a 5-2 run to tie up the set at 22 capped off by a CSUB error. After two more tie scores, the Highlanders used kills from Quinn and Cowling to win 26-24 and take a pivotal 2-1 advantage in the match.
In the fourth set, UC Riverside went down 10-6 but rallied to tie it up at 12 all as they then proceeded to take a 17-14 lead. The Roadrunners then came back and tied the set at 17, but the Highlanders ran off an 8-2 run down the stretch to win 25-19 and earn their first four-set win of the season.
The Highlanders are back at home for two Big West Conference games on Thursday, Nov. 12 and Saturday, Nov. 14 as they take on Long Beach State and UC Irvine respectively. Matches are slated to tip off at 7:00 pm at the Student Recreation Center.
