The San Diego State women's basketball team returns to action after a six-day layoff, when it plays its fourth-straight game away from home Friday at 5 p.m. at UC Riverside's Student Recreation Center in Riverside, Calif.

The Aztecs, who started the season with a 3-0 record, will look to rebound from an 0-3 performance at the 2009 Paradise Jam in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands last week. SDSU dropped back-to-back games to a pair of top 25 teams in No. 5/6 Notre Dame (84-79) and No. 20/17 Oklahoma (87-48), before losing a close one to round out the tournament to South Carolina (58-55).

UC Riverside, which enters Friday's contest with a 2-4 mark, is just San Diego State's second opponent in 2009-10 that it also faced last season. Exactly one year will have passed since the Aztecs won on a buzzer beater over the Highlanders, 54-52, in San Diego, Dec. 4, 2008.

Friday's game in Riverside will feature a live audio feed with Chris Ello, as well as live stats on goaztecs.com.
