RIVERSIDE, Calif. (Interstat) — An undefeated start will be on the line Friday when the California Baptist women’s basketball team hosts UC Santa Barbara in a non-conference matchup at the CBU Events Center.

The Lancers (5-0) have won each of their games by at least nine points, most recently routing Cal State Northridge 86-54 on Nov. 19. Filipa Barros led the way with 23 points and seven assists in that victory.

They will face a stiff test from a UC Santa Barbara team that has started 4-1. The Gauchos are coming off a 75-60 road win at San Jose State on Nov. 19, powered by a 22-point performance from Zoe Borter. UCSB’s only loss this season came on the road against then-UCLA.

The game pits two of the region’s top offenses against each other. California Baptist has scored 80 or more points in three of its five games, while UC Santa Barbara has surpassed 70 points in four of its five contests.

Following this game, UC Santa Barbara will travel to face Chattanooga on Saturday. California Baptist’s next contest is at Pepperdine on Dec. 3.
