Osborne’s Big Second Half Lifts Bruins Past Washington, 70-62
February 25, 2023 | Women's Basketball
LOS ANGELES – UCLA Women's Basketball (22-8, 11-7 Pac-12) won its senior day matchup against Washington (15-13, 7-11 Pac-12) behind an efficient second half from Charisma Osborne. The Bruins won their regular season finale 70-62.
Osborne led all scorers with 19 points in the game; the shooting guard had 16 points in the second half, shooting a lights-out 7-for-9 from the field. Kiki Rice (15 points) and Londynn Jones (10 points) joined the senior in double digits for the Bruins.
The Bruins tied their season low in rebounding (29 rebounds vs. Oregon State, Jan. 1) in Saturday's win; Osborne led UCLA in rebounding for her fourth-consecutive game, and the guard's six rebounds on Saturday marks the seventh game in a row with five or more boards.
UCLA had its third-best shooting game of the season (28-58 FG, .483 FG%) in the victory.
The Bruins ripped away 11 steals and only had eight turnovers in the matinee game; Lina Sontag had four steals of her own in the win.
The seniors started things off for the Bruins – Gina Conti, Brynn Masikewich and Camryn Brown had the first three buckets of the game to give UCLA an early 6-2 lead.
The Bruins led by as much as 10 in the first quarter but carried a 16-13 lead into the break.
The second quarter was back and forth between the teams, but the Bruins were outscored by four in the period. Rice had nine points on a perfect 4-for-4 shooting performance in the second to keep UCLA within striking distance.
The Bruins trailed by one at the half, 33-34.
UCLA played stifling defense in the third quarter, holding Washington to 25% from the field during those 10 minutes. The Bruins grabbed five of their steals in the period; Sontag swiped an early one and broke away for a layup in transition.
The Bruins outscored the Huskies 18-10 in the third and led by seven going into the final frame.
The fourth quarter was the Charisma Osborne show. She had 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting and played the full 10 minutes to close out her senior day.
UP NEXT: vs. Arizona State (March 1)
With Saturday's win, the Bruins earn the No. 5 seed in the 2023 Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament. UCLA will face No. 12 Arizona State at noon on Wednesday, March 1 at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas.
