The No. 2 UCLA Bruins decisively defeated the No. 8 Iowa Hawkeyes 88-65 on Sunday, extending their undefeated Big Ten record to 11-0. This victory marks their 15th consecutive win and solidifies their first-place standing in the conference, holding a one-game lead over No. 9 Michigan.
UCLA's offense showcased remarkable balance, with five players reaching double-digit scoring. Senior center Lauren Betts was instrumental, scoring 16 points and dominating the paint with 56 points to Iowa's 26. Graduate student Angela Dugalić also delivered a strong performance with a career-high-tying 22 points, including crucial three-pointers and paint scores.
The Bruins exhibited poise, especially in the fourth quarter when Iowa attempted a comeback. Key plays from Kiki Rice and Gabriela Jaquez, alongside strong defense, quickly extended UCLA's lead. Iowa, despite a strong second-half push from sophomore Ava Heiden, struggled with offensive consistency and couldn't match UCLA's intensity.
