UCLA Defeats Indiana, Remains Undefeated

UCLA's Lauren Betts led the No. 1-ranked Bruins to a 73-62 victory over Indiana with a stellar performance of 25 points and 12 rebounds, marking her ninth double-double of the season. The Bruins maintained their undefeated record at 15-0 overall and 4-0 in the Big Ten Conference, bolstered by contributions from Kiki Rice and Gabriela Jaquez. Indiana struggled particularly in the second quarter, going scoreless for over seven minutes and missing key shots, which allowed UCLA to extend their lead. Despite Indiana's efforts and Yarden Garzon's leading 19 points for the Hoosiers, they could not close the gap, suffering from poor shooting and limited ball movement. UCLA's strong defense and Betts' dominance were significant in this win, which also snapped Indiana's six-game winning streak. The Bruins will next face Purdue, continuing their Big Ten schedule.
