Anteaters in 58-54 Big West win over Cal St. Northridge

UC Irvine’s women’s basketball team is beginning to take their idea

of balance to an extreme as evidenced by the Anteaters’ 58-54 Big

West Conference victory at Cal State Northridge Thursday night.

No less than four starters shared scoring honors as Christina

Callaway, Lisa Faulkner, Wendy Gabbe and Kristen Green each scored 11

points for the Anteaters, who improved to 15-8, 8-4 in the Big West.

Faulkner added seven assists and Green and Ashley Biggins shared

rebounding honors with seven apiece. Faulkner had six boards.

The Anteaters were nursing a 27-26 lead at the half and managed to

“pull away” in the second half with the four-point margin of victory.

The ultimate difference came from three-point territory as UCI

netted 6 of 20. Gabbe had two treys and Lauren Yadon, Faulkner, Green

and Courtney Ferguson each had one.

Northridge was 0 for 2.
