Irvine Defeats Cal State Fullerton, 74-59 Feb. 8, 2003 – Fullerton, Calif. Box Score UC Irvine’s Christina Callaway notched a game-high 21 points while Kristen Green added 15 points to help lead the visiting Anteaters to a, 74-59, victory over Cal State Fullerton in a Big West Conference women’s basketball match-up on Saturday night at the Titan Gym. Cal State Fullerton fell to 5-15 overall and 3-6 in the Big West Conference while UCI improved to 13-8 overall, 6-4 in league action. The Titans were led offensively by junior Tamara Quinn and freshman Amber Pruitt, who tallied 10 points apiece. Senior Heather Hansen led the team in rebounds with six. UC Irvine led for almost the entire game, with the exception of one minute in the first half when the Titans took a one-point lead midway through the contest and drew even with the Anteaters with 5:22 remaining. Fullerton trailed early, but battled back to take its first lead on a three-pointer by Quinn to give the Titans a 15-14 advantage. After a quick 7-0 run by UCI, Cal State Fullerton responded with an 8-1 run of its own to draw even at 23-23. However, that would be as close as the Titans would come the rest of the way as a 12-0 run by the Anteaters upped their advantage to 35-23 before the half, and they led by as many as 21 points late in the game en route to the win. UC Irvine shot 52 percent from the field for the game, including just under 58 percent from the floor in the first half. Cal State Fullerton hit on 41 percent of its shots for the contest from the floor. UCI held a 23-10 advantage in free throws attempted, but the Titans won the battle of the boards, 37-32.
