Bruins Thwarted in Fourth by No. 2 Stanford, Lose 72-59
January 14, 2023 | Women's Basketball
LOS ANGELES โ UCLA Women's Basketball dropped its third game of the season against No. 2 Stanford on Friday night. The Bruins move to 14-3 (3-2 Pac-12) while The Cardinal improves to 17-1 (5-0 Pac-12) with Friday's 59-72 loss in Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom.
ย
"We have to take responsibility, and [โฆ] I'm ultimately responsible," said Cori Close at the postgame press conference. "I have to figure out a way to get us to execute in the second half on the things that are under our control."
ย
Three Bruins ended the game in double figures โ Gina Conti had 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting, including a trio of three-point makes. Conti added three assists, tying Londynn Jones for the team-high in Friday's game. Emily Bessoir had 10 points
ย
Charisma Osborne rounded out the Bruins in double-digit scoring, adding 13 points and seven rebounds to the box score. Osborne had a team-high three steals in the conference matchup.
ย
It was a historic night for Osborne in the record books, as she became the 20th women's basketball student-athlete to reach 1,500 career points at UCLA. Osborne converted a layup through contact late in the second quarter, drawing a shooting foul as she sunk her attempt in the paint. With the lay-in bucket, the senior hit exactly 1,500 points in her storied career in Westwood.
ย
ย
The Bruins kept the contest close throughout the first three quarters of play, battling back and forth with The Cardinal. UCLA trailed by a point after the first quarter but tied the game going into halftime, and the Bruins trailed by just two points (49-51) heading into the final ten minutes of play. UCLA met the wrath of Cameron Brink in the fourth quarter โ Brink blocked six Bruin shot attempts, sending back a third of UCLA's field goal attempts in the final period.
