When you talk with those around the UC Riverside women’s basketball program about the current season, you get a sense of apprehension. A calm hesitance, of sorts, in which the group is well aware of their accomplishments thus far but unwilling to acknowledge that this season is on pace to be a historic one for the program. Rather, they...
It is no secret that the UCR men’s tennis team hasn’t been performing in the realm of success for quite some time now. With the program being founded eight years ago, they have yet to reach their full potential. One of those people making that claim is new head coach Mattias Johansson. Coach Johansson’s prestigious career at Vanguard University...
The Big West Conference play returns this year for UC Riverside women’s tennis. This past week, UCR faced off against CSU Northridge on Saturday, Feb. 6 in the opening match of conference play.

UCR will be in the conference tournament come March. Though, given that CSU Northridge voluntarily imposed sanctions that will prohibit them from participating, the remaining Big West teams’ fates were never in question.

The UCR track and field team kicked off their 2016 indoor season last Friday and Saturday at the Northern Arizona University (NAU) Mountain T’s Invitational at Flagstaff, Ariz. Three Highlanders broke records including Jorden O'Neal, Breana Jemison and Vesta Bell in the long jump, shot put, and weight throw.
Both the men and women's team fared well, as they...
The UC Riverside women’s basketball team is making the best of their season and this past Thursday, Jan. 28, the Highlanders faced Cal Poly Pomona. Not only did the women’s basketball team earn their sixth consecutive home game, but also senior guard Brittany Crain topped the 2,000-point mark for her career.

The UC Riverside men’s golf team was back on the course this past Monday and Tuesday, taking part in the UC Riverside Winter Intercollegiate after not being in action for the past couple of months due to the winter intermission.
Junior Sam Gillis picked up right where he left off, shooting a two-day total of 224 (+8) which was good...
This week was one of mixed feelings for the tennis team as they played three games back to back with some surprising and other unsurprising performances. Mattias Johansson seems to be having a tough time adjusting to the team as the losses keep piling on, however they did take one win away this week. Kicking off their first game...
