LA JOLLA, Calif.—UC San Diego women’s basketball defeated Cal State Bakersfield, 84-66, on Saturday afternoon in LionTree Arena. The Tritons (12-5, 7-0 Big West) scored 31 points off turnovers to top the Roadrunners (6-12, 1-7 Big West) and remain unbeaten in the Big West.
 
Four Tritons scored in double figures led by Erin Condron and Makayla Rose with a pair of 21-point performances. The duo also led the team with eight rebounds apiece, with three blocks for Condron and three steals for Rose. Rosa Smith finished just shy of a 20-point performance as well, scoring 19, while Sabrina Ma chipped in 10 points and a team-high five steals. Six Tritons registered an assist, led by Dymonique Maxie with six and Ma with four. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Tritons put together a strong start to the opening quarter, scoring the first nine points unanswered. A sequence of four made threes put the Roadrunners right back in the game, leading 12-11 with 3:25 on the clock. Ma knocked down a three to spark a seven-point swing for the home team and UC San Diego took a 18-14 advantage into the first quarter break.
 
The teams traded baskets to open the second period, with a pair of key three-point baskets from Smith and Rose. With the Tritons leading 26-22 midway through the quarter, UC San Diego put together a 9-2 scoring run behind solid free-throw shooting from Condron and Ma. A Mahan jumper gave the Tritons their first double-digit lead of the game, 35-24, and a three by Mahan in the final minute made it 38-26 in favor of UC San Diego at halftime.  
 
Bakersfield opened the second half with a 9-3 scoring run to close the gap, 41-35. The Tritons ended the run with a six-point run of their own to lead, 47-35, midway through the period. Back-to-back threes sparked an eight-point run for CSUB, but UC San Diego would not relinquish the lead. Condron scored four unanswered to stall the Roadrunners rally and the Tritons scored the final six points of the quarter to lead, 60-50, at the final break.
 
UC San Diego carried the momentum into the final quarter, starting the period with a quick three from Condron and a three-point play by Rose to make it 66-50.
