By Paul Hang STAFF WRITER

San Jose State University’s women’s basketball team suffered its fifth loss of the season after being defeated by University of California Irvine 74-66 at the Event Center on Sunday. The Anteaters entered the game undefeated and Spartan freshman guard Raziya Potter knew the match up was going to be competitive. “Since they were a 6-0 team, we just thought that either way we could come out here and just play hard. We had a winning mentality,” Potter said. Potter missed the opening jump shot of the game for the Spartans. The Anteaters scored the first basket after a jump shot by sophomore forward Jordan Sanders. The Spartans started off slow but ANTEATERS they scored PAUL HANG | SPARTAN DAILY their first San Jose State forward Cydni Lewis pushes through two UC Irvine defenders to ﬁ nish with 8 ﬁ eld goals in the Event Center Sunday afternoon. points of the game after lead to 17-10.
