The UCLA Bruins women’s basketball team has seen their season come to an end. In a highly-anticipated showdown with LSU, the Tigers came out on top in Albany on Saturday with a 78-69 victory over UCLA.
Lauren Betts once again dominated, which is nothing new, as she scored 14 points with 17 rebounds and four blocks to lead the way. Londynn Jones also had 14 points with Kiki Rice adding 13 points.
Gabriela Jaquez chipped in another 14 bench points, but it wasn’t enough against the reigning champions.
Flau’Jae Johnson led all scorers with 24 points and 12 rebounds and Angel Reese had 16 and 11 as four of the five LSU starters notched double figures in points.
Still, it was a terrific season for UCLA and Cori Close’s team will be back as they head to the Big Ten Conference in 2024.
LSU will now face 1-seed Iowa led by Caitlin Clark on Monday in a must-watch game for a trip to the Final Four.
