UCC Riverhawks Womens Basketball 49-77 Walla Walla

The Walla Walla Warriors controlled the tempo from the opening tip, building an insurmountable lead that carried them to a convincing 77-49 victory over the Riverhawks in non-conference women's basketball action Tuesday night at the UCC gymnasium.

Facing a physical Warriors squad that consistently found scoring opportunities, the Riverhawks struggled to match their opponent's offensive efficiency throughout the contest. The 28-point margin reflected Walla Walla's ability to capitalize on possessions while limiting UCC's chances to establish any sustained rhythm on either end of the court.

Despite the lopsided final score, the loss drops the Riverhawks to 23-10 overall in what has been an otherwise successful season for the program. The defeat serves as a measuring stick against quality non-conference competition, highlighting areas where UCC will need to sharpen their execution as they prepare for the challenges ahead.

The Riverhawks' strong 23-win campaign demonstrates the foundation coach has built in Douglas County, even as nights like Tuesday remind the team of the work required to compete with top-tier opponents. Games against physical, well-coached teams like Walla Walla provide valuable experience that often pays dividends later in the season.

UCC will look to bounce back from this setback as they continue their schedule, with the coaching staff likely using Tuesday's film session to identify key adjustments before their next contest.
