EDINBURG, TEXAS – CSU Bakersfield women's basketball team was once down by 12 points but a good pep talk after the first half would give the Roadrunners enough momentum to come back and win in overtime 67-64 against UTRGV. `Runners improve their record 8-8, 2-0 (WAC).

A layup from freshman Vanessa Austin would get the game flowing as both teams kept their defense strong and ended in a tie with 10 points each in the first quarter. Vaqueros came firing shots in the second quarter and go on a 12-0 run until Bakersfield managed to get their offense back together and go on an 8-0 run. However, Vaqueros quickly got back into the game and took the lead 26-18 into halftime. Junior Alexxus Gilbert led the `Runners after two quarters with six points.

A change of pace in the third quarter for the `Runners was all they needed to gain two 3 pointers and a layup to get back into the game and then go on to a 11-3 run to cut UTRGV's lead by one point before the second timeout. CSUB takes its first lead since late in the first quarter with 1:00 left in the third quarter but the Vaqueros go to the line and get one more point to make it a tied game at the end of the third, 36-36.
