LOS ANGELES -- Monique Billings scored a career-high 30 points with 14 rebounds and six steals to lead No. 17/13 UCLA to its 22nd-straight home win with a 79-63 victory over Oregon on Sunday afternoon at Pauley Pavilion. The Bruins have also won 14 straight Pac-12 games at home.
Additionally, UCLA moved into a tie with South Dakota for the fourth-longest active home-winning streak in the nation behind UConn's 57 and Baylor's 52.
Billings was 11 of 16 from the floor and had her 10th double-double of the season. Kennedy Burke scored 16 points, Kelli Hayes added 14, and Jordin Canada had her seventh double-double of the year and was two rebound shy of a triple-double with 13 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds for UCLA (13-4, 4-2 Pac 12). The Bruins forced 20 turnovers and had 20 offensive rebounds to earn 18 more field-goal attempts than the Ducks.
Freshman Ruthy Hebard led Oregon (12-6, 2-4) with a career-best 29 points, on 11-of-15 shooting, and nine rebounds. Her previous high was 28. Freshman Sabrina Ionescu added 18 points, seven rebounds and six assists for Oregon.
Oregon cut UCLA's lead to nine points on two occasions in the fourth quarter but the Bruins pulled away behind the stellar play of Billings, who answered with points every time the Ducks cut it to single digits.
UCLA outrebounded the Ducks 39-37 and won the turnover battle 20-8.
