UCSD earned an early 19–15 lead after the first quarter. Despite Cal State San Marcos cutting the margin to one in the second half, UCSD started to open up the game and outscored San Marcos 19–8 to finish the half.
The Tritons never looked back after the half, building up their lead and outscoring the Cougars 27–16 in the third quarter. From then on, the Tritons just cruised with a 28-point margin to a convincing 84–56 win.
“[We’re] very excited about our great team effort tonight,” UCSD Head Coach Heidi VanDerveer told UCSD Athletics. “I thought that we came out and had tremendous pace to our offense. We got out and got some easy baskets.”
Senior guard Jamie Katuna continued her amazing season, scoring a game-high 17 points to go along with four assists. Senior forward Farrah Shokoor had 14 points and 16 rebounds, good for her 14th double-double of the season.
