[Women's Basketball] UCM Upends Top-Seeded ERAU

The target on the back of first-place Embry-Riddle got much bigger when the Eagles soared to No. 20 in the NAIA last week, and upset-minded UC Merced took aim and clipped ERAU 70-67 in last Saturday's upset in Merced, Calif.  ERAU, which locked up one of the four berths in the Cal Pac Championship tournament with Thursday's win at Simpson, suffered its first conference loss of the year.  The Bobcats are now 2-1 this season against teams ranked in the NAIA DII Coaches' Top 25 Poll and have overcome double figure halftime deficits in both wins.
