Maria Mejia brings size, versatility, and freshman-floor time to UC Riverside’s backcourt
Mejia’s early UC Riverside profile is built on availability and upside: she played in 29 games as a freshman and logged a career-high 18 minutes against Cal Poly, with a season-best 4 points coming against Gonzaga in 2025-26[2]. At 5'11", she has guard size that can help her defend multiple spots and develop into a connective, two-way backcourt piece, and her background as a Mexico national-team prospect adds a competitive edge and international experience[1][4].
