Trending: Up-ish? It’s game one, so hard to tell if this UC Riverside team will be much better than it was last year. But it is year two under coach David Patrick, and the Highlanders bring back a handful of starters and bring in two Division-I transfers. Preseason projections show UC Riverside finishing the year 14-18, so a slight improvement from last season.
