Preview: Texas-Arlington at California Baptist Women’s Basketball RIVERSIDE, Calif. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking momentum to push their records above .500 will meet Thursday when the Texas-Arlington Mavericks visit the California Baptist Lancers in a nonconference women’s basketball game. The matchup at CBU Events Center features teams with nearly identical marks. Texas-Arlington arrives at 6-7 overall, while California Baptist sits at 7-7. The Mavericks are looking to rebound from a 57-66 loss at Tarleton State on Monday. Guard Jadyn Atchison led the way in that defeat, scoring 15 points in 30 minutes. She has been a consistent contributor, averaging double figures in three of her last four games, including a 12-point, 4-assist performance in a win over Texas Southern on Dec. 17. California Baptist enters on a high note after an emphatic 82-51 overtime victory against Utah Valley on Monday. The Lancers’ offense was fueled by a career-high 20 points from Lauren Olsen and a strong all-around game from guard Filipa Barros, who had 16 points and eight assists. Barros has been a key facilitator, dishing out five or more assists in five of her last eight contests. The Lancers have shown a stark home-road split recently, with their last two home games resulting in decisive wins by an average of 31.5 points. They will aim to continue that dominance in Riverside. For Texas-Arlington, containing Barros and finding offensive consistency beyond Atchison will be critical. The Mavericks have struggled on the road, with their last away win coming at Arkansas-Little Rock on Dec. 2. This game serves as a precursor to a quick rematch, as the teams are scheduled to meet again in Riverside on Jan. 31. Tip-off is set for Thursday afternoon. California Baptist hosts Tarleton State on Saturday, while Texas-Arlington travels to face Southern Utah the same day.
