San Diego, CA—The UC Riverside Women's Basketball Team (1-0) takes it first road trip of the 2015-16 season, as the Highlanders play at San Diego State on Monday, November 16, in a 6:30 pm PT tip.

UCR had four players score in double figures in its 2015-16 season opening victory over visiting Fresno State Friday, 86-68.

The Highlanders were led by their two preseason media All-Conference Team selections, forward Annelise Ito and guard Brittany Crain. Ito scored 19 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and dished out 8 assists, while Crain had 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals. Rejane Verin scored 17 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in her UCR debut, and senior Akilah Martin went 4-5 from the field to finish with 10 points.

San Diego State returns three starters and seven letter winners from last year's squad, including guard McKynzie Fort, who earned a spot on the Mountain West All-Freshman Team. This year's team was predicted to finish sixth in the Mountain West preseason poll.

The Aztecs have added Kylie Herd, a junior transfer from Mesa Community College, who was second-team All-America last season, and Arantxa Gómez, who brings over six years of Spanish club experience to the 2015-16 squad.

San Diego State lost its season opener Friday November 13, to Long Beach State, 74-54. The Aztecs were led Kymberly Ellison, who scored 11 points in 19 minutes of play.

The Highlanders are 6-8 all-time against San Diego State (view results), but won last season's December 23 match-up, 64-54, led by Brittany Crain's 31 points.
