Box Score - UC Riverside 3, UC Irvine 1
Irvine, CA - The UC Riverside volleyball team won its second match in a row Wednesday evening defeating the UC Irvine Anteaters 3-1 in Big West action at Crawford Court. With the win, the Highlanders (7-20, 4-9) tie the program record for most wins in Big West play with four, held by the 2003 and 2005 squads.
Four UCR players recorded double-digit kills led by Amanda Vialpando's 18. Shelby LeDuff added 16 while Bianca Endersby had 13 and Megan Reza recorded 10. Megan Patterson had 15 digs to lead the Highlanders while Katie Meyers added 14.
Down 19-18 late in the first set, UC Riverside used two Vialpando kills, one Annishia McCoy kill, and two blocks to rally off six straight points and go up at set-point 24-19.
The Anteaters (10-15, 4-9) scored one to break the run, but another Vialpando kill sealed the 25-20 win.
UC Irvine tied the set at 1-1 with a 25-19 victory in the second set, but the Highlanders came back in the third to win 25-18.
UCR took an 11-5 advantage early in the third before UCI scored seven of the next 10 points to get within two at 14-12. The Highlanders never allowed the Eaters closer than that, however, as they went up seven, 21-14, and won by that same margin, 25-18.
The Highlanders led from the get-go in the fourth set, turning a 10-9 lead into an 18-11 advantage. UCR closed out the match winning by 10 points, 25-15--its margin of victory this season.
UC Riverside has now won back-to-back Big West Conference matches for the first time since October 4 and 10, 2008 against Cal State Northridge and UC Davis respectively.
The Highlanders now travel to Cal Poly on Friday, November 11 for a 7:00 pm match in San Luis Obispo, CA.
