Aliyah Jeune Hits 27 To Pace USC Women To Win At UC Riverside
November 14, 2019 | Women's Basketball, Features
Trojans improve to 3-0 with another solid performance.
RIVERSIDE, CALIF. — The USC women's basketball team saw newcomers Aliyah Jeune (27 points) and Angel Jackson (11 points) hit double digits for the first time in their Trojan careers tonight in Riverside as the visiting Trojans hit the gas in the second half and outpaced host UC Riverside for a 76-59 road win. Jackson also wrapped up with her first double-double in adding 14 rebounds to her efforts. Now 3-0 on the year, the young Trojans have had a different player lead the scoring race in all three games to date.
UC Riverside edged out USC on the boards 38-32 and in shooting 39.7 percent from the floor, ahead of USC's 38.3 percent, but the Trojans were wildly successful in getting to the stripe and connecting. USC shot 23-of-25 from the free-throw line to fend off the Highlanders, who went 7-of-8.
It was a tight affair in the first period with the game snarling up even twice, locked at 13-13 with 1:30 on the clock Alyson Miura dumped in a key 3-pointer in the final minute to get USC a boost, and then the Trojans would rattle off a couple 7-0 surges in the second period to build out a double-digit lead. Jeune was up to 13 points by halftime, while Jackson had her 11 points in the books by the break as well after knocking down two more free throws before the halftime buzzer as USC gripped a 40-33 lead at halftime.
UC Riverside turned up the pressure on the Trojans in the third in knocking down four 3-pointers in the frame, but USC was able to weather the storm. In the final 10 minuets, USC was in control. An early 8-0 run saw Kyra White and Alissa Pili join the scoresheet for the Trojans along the way as USC built out a 14-point lead, up 64-50 on that rally. By the final buzzer, Desiree Caldwell had worked her way into a new career high, joining Jeune's 27-point outburst and Jackson's 11 points in double digits with her 14 points on the night. Caldwell was a perfect 7-of-7 from the free-throw line to go along with four assists and four steals.
UC Riverside was led in scoring by Marina Ewodo with 16 points and Keilanei Cooper with 13 as UC Riverside goes to 1-3 with the loss to the visiting Trojans.
NOTABLE:
- Aliyah Jeune made a 7-0 run all on her own to get USC back on top in the first, up 12-17 after trailing 7-5 early.
