• Charisma Osborne has scored 184 points (2nd - Pac-12, 19th in the NCAA) through ninth games, averaging 20.4 ppg (2nd - Pac-12, 17th - NCAA). She is tied for first in field goals made (64 FGM) and has the second-most field goal attempts (137 FGA) in the Pac-12. Osborne ranks 5th in minutes played (292 min.), T-4th in FTM (38) and 7th in FT% (84.4%). Osborne is tied for 6th in 3PM (18 3PM) and tied for fifth in defensive rebounds (49 DRPG) in the Conference. She also ranks 10th in total rebounds (61 REB) and 11th in rebounds per game (6.8 RPG) in the Pac-12.
• Kiki Rice has started all nine games of her first collegiate season, averaging 29.8 minutes per game, and she is immediately impacting the game. The freshman floor general leads the team in assists with 29 (T-11th in Pac-12), which is the second-most among freshmen in the Conference.
• Redshirt-sophomore Emily Bessoir continues to be a key contributor in the frontcourt for the Bruins as a versatile stretch big. The German forward ranks third on the team in points (8.6 ppg) and 3rd in rebounds (5.1 RPG) in 25.8 minutes per game. Bessoir has knocked down 13 three-pointers out of her 36 attempts (.361 3FG%).
• Graduate transfer Gina Conti suited up in the starting lineup for the first time in a Bruin uniform on Nov. 13 versus Troy and has seven-consecutive starts for UCLA. Her starting lineup appearance vs. No. 11/12 Tennessee marked Conti's 100th career start. Conti had a season-high 6 assists in UCLA's 72-60 win over Jackson State (Nov. 25) and has led the team in assists on three occassions through the first month of play. Conti averages a team-high 3.3 APG (16th - Pac-12).
