Last Time Out
The Bruins led from wire to wire in a 78-47 win over Illinois-Chicago on Dec. 19 in the Windy City.
ย
Sophomore Michaela Onyenwere collected her third double-double of the year with 19 points and 11 rebounds to go along with a career-high-tying three blocks, while senior Lajahna Drummer tied a career high with 16 points on 6-for-7 shooting.
ย
Drummer scored seven of UCLA's first 12 points, as the Bruins started the game on a 12-0 run and hit their first five from the field. UCLA's swarming defensive pressure forced 12 Flame turnovers in the first quarter, which turned into 14 Bruin points.
ย
UCLA entered the second quarter up 21-5 and led 39-15 at halftime. The Bruins closed the contest with a 16-5 run, forcing UIC to go 2-for-13 down the stretch to make the final score of 78-47 UCLA's largest lead of the affair. UCLA hauled in a season-high 29 offensive boards and forced 27 turnovers.
ย ย
At a Glance: Cal Poly
The Cal Poly Mustangs collected their third win of the 2018-19 campaign on Dec. 17 by defeating Seattle University, a 60-50 triumph on the road.
ย
In her Cal Poly debut, Hana Vesela scored a team-high 17 points. After stretching its lead to 46-38 midway through the fourth, Seattle managed to cut the deficit to five (55-50). However, five late Mustang free throws kept the Redhawks at bay.
ย
Cal Poly has been led by Devin Stanback's 14 points per game, while Alicia Roufosse and Katie Nunnelley both average over eight points a game. The Mustangs dish out over 15 dimes per game but average 20 turnovers per outing.
The Series
UCLA owns the all-time series, 8-0. The Bruins won the last meeting on Nov. 20, 2016, by a final score of 80-64. Jordin Canada just missed a triple-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. UCLA led by 22 at halftime and stretched its lead to 70-42 after three to seal the win.
