Riverside, CA - The UC Riverside Women's Basketball Team moved to 2-0 for the first time in its Division I history Thursday with a 100-80 victory over visiting San Jose State. The 100 points scored is a season-high and the most since the squad scored 105 against these same Spartans last season.

The Highlanders had a 10-point lead at halftime, 47-37, but San Jose State quickly cut it to three, 49-46, just 1:23 into the half following a 9-2 run that included three three-pointers. After trading points, UCR extended its margin back to double-digits, 60-50, but could not stop an 8-0 run by the Spartans as the lead was cut to two, 60-58, with 12:15 remaining.

The lead stayed between one and three possessions until DeCoud scored eight of UC Riverside's next 10 points over a 1:04 span to push the margin to 14, 89-75, at the 4:20 mark. From there, the Highlanders outscored the Spartans 11-5 over the rest of the game as UCR cruised to the 20-point victory.

The teams then traded points as the lead fluctuated between six and nine until the Highlanders again pushed the margin out to 15, 37-22, following seven consecutive points with just over four minutes remaining.

San Jose State scored eight of the next 10 points to make it 39-30, but the teams traded buckets to conclude the half as UCR led at the break, 47-37.

For the game, the Highlanders shot a blistering 47.9 percent from the field including 50.0 percent from beyond the arc while limiting SJSU to 34.1 percent shooting.
