Bruins Defeat Cal Poly 84-48 in Season Opener
November 07, 2022 | Women's Basketball
LOS ANGELES โ The UCLA women's basketball team improved to 1-0 after takingย down Cal Poly 84-48 behind Charisma Osborne's 20-point, nine-rebound performance Monday night. Osborne was a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe and added five helpers in an impressive start to her senior campaign.
ย
All 10 Bruins who hit the hard court scored in the season opener, and each player tallied more than 10 minutes of playing time. Four Bruins ended with double-digit scoring totals; Osborne (20), Bessoir (14), Rice (12), Jaquez (10).
ย
Kiki Rice made an impressive college debut, racking up 12 points and throwing seven assists to her newly minted teammates. ย The Maryland native played a team-high 28 minutes in the game as UCLA's primary floor general.
ย
The Bruins out-rebounded the Mustangs 48-28 in the Monday evening matchup and took an advantage in the turnover battle. UCLA nabbed 10 steals in the win and outscored Cal Poly 26-15 off turnovers.
ย
Redshirt-sophomore Emily Bessoir led the way for the Bruins in the first quarter, scoring UCLA's first four points to ignite the Bruin offense. Bessoir was 3-for-4 in the quarter, sinking a triple and grabbing five rebounds in nine minutes of play. Gabriela Jaquez (10 points, six rebounds) hit a three-pointer for her first collegiate points, and Charisma Osborne followed it up with a three of her own en route to an 11-0 Bruin run. Rice tallied four of her seven assists in the first quarter.
ย
Rice found her offensive rhythm in the second period, shooting 3-for-3 from the field and adding a pair of free throws in the quarter. Senior Brynn Masikewich contributed five points and grabbed five rebounds in the second quarter, setting career-highs in both categories. The Bruins led 45-25 going into the break.
ย
UCLA kept its foot on the gas in the third quarter, outscoring Cal Poly 24-15 in the period. Osborne had a perfect quarter, shooting 2-for-2 from the field and 2-for-2 from the line without committing a foul or a turnover. The senior's seven points helped lift the Bruins to a 69-40 lead through three.
ย
The Bruins held the Mustangs to just eight points scored in the final quarter of play, stifling any hope of a Mustang comeback. All 10 Bruins saw action in the fourth quarter, and five UCLA players scored during the final 10 minutes.
