UC Riverside collegiate athletics

Overview

UC Riverside athletes participated in various competitions in October 2026. During the Highlander Invitational cross country meet, UC Riverside athletes achieved several personal bests, including Makayla Anderson, who led the women’s race with a time of 21:05.6 to help the team secure an eighth place finish.

Later in the month, the women’s volleyball team suffered a 3-0 defeat against Utah Valley with set scores of 27-29, 22-25, and 18-25. In softball, the Highlanders played an exhibition match against Riverside City College, where the Highlanders controlled much of the matchup despite defensive errors from the opposing team. Riverside City College head coach Michelle Daddona noted that the defensive lapses highlighted areas for improvement before the spring regular season.

In early November, the athletics program reported multiple losses during road competitions. The women’s basketball team fell to Gonzaga 85-58 in Spokane, Washington, despite forcing 20 turnovers. The volleyball program also faced recent setbacks, losing to CSU Bakersfield in three sets and losing a five-set match to CSUN in Big West play.
