LOS ANGELES (AP) – Senior point guard Jordin Canada had 21 points and five assists and Monique Billings scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds to help No. 13 UCLA beat Stanford 64-53 on Sunday at Pauley Pavilion.
Kennedy Burke added 10 points for UCLA (15-4, 6-2 Pac-12). The Bruins have won six of their last seven games, including four in a row.
For Billings, a huge milestone was reached as she became the third player in UCLA history to score over 1,500 points and grab over 1,000 rebounds, and she did it in the same game. She also became the 14th player in Pac-12 history to reach the 1,500/1,000 mark and the 21st player in the league to haul in 1,000 boards.
Stanford (12-8, 6-2) missed its first six field-goal attempts and UCLA never trailed. Canada scored five points during a 10-0 opening run and Lauryn Miller made a layup to make it 22-10 at the end of the first quarter. The Bruins took their biggest lead when a layup by Billings made it 47-34 early in the fourth quarter and UCLA hit 15 of 18 from the free-throw line, including 10 of 12 by Canada, from there to seal it.
Kiana Williams, the only Cardinal player to score in double figures, had 14 points. Stanford made 6 of 24 from 3-point range and shot just 45 percent (5 of 11) from the foul line.UCLA returns to action on Friday, Jan. 26 when it travels to Washington for a 7:00 p.m. PT tip-of on the Pac-12 Networks.
