TUCSON, Ariz. – Ready to return to SRC Arena with its 2-0 home record at SRC Arena to start conference play, UC Riverside exited the Wildcat Classic Saturday with a straight-set loss to San Diego State, finishing the event host by Arizona at the McKale Center at 1-2.

The Highlanders (4-6, 0-0 Big West) got powerful play from opposite hitter Ayanna Kimbrough, who had 8 kills against the Aztecs (3-9, 0-0 MWC) to finish the weekend with 30 kills and a .373 attacking percentage over three matches at the Wildcat Classic, highlighted by 16 kills and a .609 percentage in the second match of UCR's weekend vs. Texas Southern.
