DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — Phil Martin scored 24 points, including the game-winner with 1:38 left, to give UC Riverside a 60-58 victory over UC Davis on Thursday night.

B.J. Shearry went 5-for-5 and scored 10 points for the Highlanders (7-8, 1-1 Big West).

Tyrell Corbin, Ryan Howley and Tyler Les scored 12 points apiece for the Aggies (1-13, 0-2), who have lost 10 in a row. Josh Ritchart added 10.

The difference came at the free throw line, where the Highlanders made 12 of 17 to the Aggies' 7 of 8.
