Long Beach, CA - The UC Riverside women's basketball team had four players in double figures but could not hold on in overtime, falling 70-68 at Long Beach State on Thursday evening.
The Highlanders drop to 13-11 overall and 6-5 in conference play, while the 49ers improve to 8-19, 6-7.
UCR was up by double digits midway through the second half, but Long Beach rallied back and tied the game at 62 with a minute and a half remaining. Jazzmin Lewis' layup gave the Highlanders a 64-62 lead with 41 seconds left in regulation, but a layup by the 49ers with 24 seconds to go tied the game at 64. Neither team could convert on a last second shot as the game headed into overtime tied at 64.
In OT, Long Beach scored the first three points, but consecutive layups by Rhaya Neabors and Lewis gave UCR a 68-67 lead with 1:25 left. LBSU's Brandi Henton hit a three-pointer with 1:10 remaining to lift the 49ers to a two-point advantage. That score would stand to end the game, as the Highlanders were whistled for an offensive foul with just seconds remaining in overtime.
Neabors led UCR with 18 points and eight rebounds, while Brittany Waddell added 13 points, Jazzmin Lewis had a career-high 12 points, and Alyssa Morris added 11.
