Watch the senior tribute video.
Riverside, CA - Brittany Waddell scored a season-high 27 points and two other players scored in double figures to lead the UC Riverside women's basketball team to an 83-65 win over Long Beach State at the Student Recreation Center on Wednesday evening.
The Highlanders improve to 17-11 overall, 10-5 in league play, with one regular season game remaining. The 49ers fall to 8-22 overall and 6-10 in conference play.
With the win, UCR secures at least a third place finish in the Big West standings. With a Highlanders win this upcoming Saturday and a UC Santa Barbara loss, UCR would move up to second entering the conference tournament.
Waddell scored 22 of her game-high 27 points in the first half of play as the Highlanders honored their five seniors following the win.
Tre'Shonti Nottingham added 16 points for UCR while Rhaya Neabors had 13. LBSU's Brandi Henton led the Beach with 15 points off the bench.
UCR went 0-6 from the field to open the game as Long Beach led 2-0 through two minutes of play. A Waddell three-pointer at the 17:35 mark started a 10-0 run as the Highlanders hit 4 for 4 from the field taking a 10-2 lead.
UC Riverside pushed its margin out to 23-8 with 10:28 remaining in the period, but the 49er's Henton scored 10 straight points to close the gap to just five, 23-18. UCR's lead fluctuated between five and eight points until the 49ers closed to 34-30 to conclude the half.
Long Beach State tied the game at 34 after four straight points to open the second half, but UC Riverside ran off eight unanswered points taking a 42-34 lead with 17:22 to go. LBSU closed to four with 15:47 left, but that was as close as they would get the rest of the way as the Highlanders lead reached double digits the remainder of the half.
UC Riverside improved its field goal shooting in the second period hitting 60 percent of its shots including 50 percent from beyond the arc. The Highlanders defense forced 27 49ers turnovers while holding the team to just 36.2 percent shooting.
The Highlanders play their final Big West regular season game at UC Irvine on Saturday, March 5 at 4:00 pm in Irvine, CA.
