Last Time Out
UCLA scored a season-high 89 points in a nine-point (89-80) win over Fresno State on Dec. 7 to halt a four-game losing streak.
Several Bruins had career nights, including senior Japreece Dean, who notched her first career double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds, going 12-for-12 from the free throw line and dishing out seven assists.
Sophomore Michaela Onyenwere scored a career-best 29 points and went 11-for-12 from the charity stripe, while redshirt freshman Lindsey Corsaro and freshman Kiara Jefferson notched career highs for points with 15 and 11, respectively.
UCLA led by as many as 18 before Fresno State used an 18-6 run to pull within four (72-68) late. That's when Jefferson connected on back-to-back three's, and Corsaro later came up with the dagger to put the Bruins up six (81-75) with just one minute left to go.
UCLA shot 50 percent (26-for-52) from the field and 93.3 percent (28-for-30) from the free throw line.
