No. 2 UCLA Downs Niagara, Goes Undefeated at Cayman Islands Classic
November 25, 2023 | Women's Basketball
George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – No. 2/2 UCLA Women's Basketball closes out November 6-0 after defeating Niagara University on Saturday, Nov. 25. The Bruins downed the Purple Eagles 97-46 in the victory.
Sophomores Gabriela Jaquez and Londynn Jones were UCLA's top scorers in the game, pouring in 23 and 21 points, respectively. Jaquez was 11-for-17 in the game; Jones shot 6-for-13 (3-8 3FG) from the field.
The Bruins outscored Niagara 64-10 in the paint and doubled up on rebounds, holding a 54-27 advantage in the game. UCLA had 20 offensive rebounds to Niagara's 18.
All 11 Bruins who entered Saturday's game put points on the board. Freshman Amanda Muse recorded a career-high nine points and three blocks. Angela Dugalic joined the sophomores in double figures; the Serbian forward scored 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting. Dugalic secured 7 rebounds and swiped two steals in the win.
Dugalic got the offense started for UCLA, assisting sophomore Lauren Betts on the first basket of the game. The senior then hit a mid-range jumper before Jones scored four-consecutive points. Dugalic hit a corner three after the break, and UCLA peeled off a 23-0 run before a pair of Niagara free throws ended their scoring draught. The Bruins led 27-5 after the first.
Niagara scored the first four points of the quarter before the Bruins revved their engines. Gabriela Jaquez ran the floor, scoring back-to-back layups off assists from Lina Sontag and Izzy Anstey. Anstey followed up her dime with an and-one in transition. Rice swiped the ball from Niagara at half court before throwing it down to Anstey in the paint.
The Bruins led by as much as 35 in the quarter (Q2, 3:16; UCLA – 45, Niagara – 10). Jaquez led the way for UCLA, scoring 12 in the second period of play. UCLA was up 50-16 at the break.
The third quarter was the Londynn Jones show, as she exploded for 10 points in the quarter.
With her first two points scored off free throws, graduate student Charisma Osborne tied Bruin alum Rehema Stephens (1989-92; 1,887 PTS) for fifth on UCLA's all-time scoring list. Her free throws came with 1:24 left in the quarter. The Bruins led 74-38 heading into the final frame.
A late surge from Dugalic further sealed the game for UCLA. The senior shot a perfect 4-for-4 in the final 10 minutes, scoring nine points as the Bruins closed out a 51-point win.
UCLA is back in action next Sunday, Dec. 3, at the University of Arkansas. Tip is set for noon PST; the game will be broadcast to SEC Network+, which requires a subscription to watch.
