UTRGV Wins 74-65 over `Runners



BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – An eight-point scoring run at the end of the second quarter gave the CSU Bakersfield women's basketball team an eight-point lead at halftime. CSUB was unable to maintain control over The University of Rio Grande Valley in the second half and dropped a nine-point, 65-74, decision on the road. On the game, a trio of Roadrunners led the cause for Bakersfield on Thursday night. Jayden Eggleston led the `Runners in scoring with fourteen points while Vanessa Austin had a team-high eight rebounds and eleven points. Miracle Saxon rounded out the group with twelve points and a game-best five steals.
 
CSUB had a three-point lead over UTRGV after the first quarter and with an additional scoring run to close the second quarter took an eight-point lead into halftime, up 39-31. It was all the Vaqueros in the third and fourth as the home team outscored the `Runners by eight and nine, respectively.
 
RGV shot the ball well making 53 and 57 percent of their attempts in the third and fourth periods compared to the Roadrunners' 28 and 26 percent shooting from the field. CSUB owned the paint, 34-24, and forced twenty-one turnovers but did not capitalize on the Vaqueros mistakes.
 
After the loss, Bakersfield falls 15-12 on the season. With a 7-7 Western Athletic Conference record, the `Runners sit in the upper half of the middle standings. As of Thursday, CSUB is one of three teams fighting for fourth place including NM State who the Roadrunners see on Saturday.
