SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — The Sacramento State Hornets and UC San Diego Tritons, both looking to build early-season momentum, will face off in a non-conference women’s basketball game Wednesday at RIMAC Arena.

Sacramento State (2-1) enters the contest after a 52-69 road loss to California on Sunday. The Hornets were led by Benthe Versteeg and Keanna Salave’a, who each scored 12 points. The loss followed a dominant 65-45 victory over Nevada and a season-opening 124-39 rout of Stanton.

UC San Diego (1-1) is coming off a strong 72-54 home win against Denver last Friday. Sabrina Ma led the way for the Tritons with 19 points and four rebounds in that victory. Their season began with a narrow 66-69 road loss to Pacific.

The matchup will feature a Hornets offense that has shown explosiveness, averaging over 80 points per game, against a Tritons defense that held Denver to 54 points in its last outing. Key players to watch include Sacramento State’s Versteeg, who facilitates the offense, and UC San Diego’s Ma, a potent scoring threat.

The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. PST tipoff.
