The 6-foot 2 senior striker had a key theft and shaping with 2 minutes to complete the CSU Bakersfield and return Highlanders to the Win column. Marchtz is 12 points, 10 rebounds, three thefts and one block.
“(This) was a big profit to protect his home court,” said chief coach Brian Langston. “Esther gave a huge performance in the second half.”
After retreating road losses from combined four points in UC San Diego and UC Irvine, UC Riverside lags early and lags behind 26-22 at the half.
In the third quarter Seneca Hakli and junior guard Jordin Marshall, they struck from long distances, sinking triplets when Highlanders erupted through an insult, locked themselves in the defense and led 44-32 leads in the fourth quarter.
Junior guard Makayla Rose made the theft and assist of a bucket by freshman Kaylani Polk, and Hakeli buried another 3-indicator when the UCR continued with 10-2.
“Our team really found its stream after the break,” Langston said. “I am proud of how we got together and closed it hard.”
UC Riverside’s crime slowed in the fourth quarter with only four points in the first 5-year minutes, but Matarranz pushed the ball and finished it at the other end to maintain the two-digit lead of the final zumer.
Matarranz’s Underudy, the sophomore of 6-1 Maya Chokano, had 12 career fights to help Highlanders control boards.
Haquely, a graduate transfer from northern Colorado, finished 6 out of 15 of the pitch (3 out of 5 of the 3-point scope) for career-high 17 points, and Rose added eight points and three assists.
