It was a great run, but it has come to an end. Angela Dugalic, UCLA’s forward on the women’s basketball team scored 14 points in 22 minutes, but it was not enough. Team Serbia was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Olympic Women’s Basketball tournament.
Dugalic did not start, but played the third-most minutes, and took the most shots on the team. She was 6 for 12 from the field, including a pair of three point shots made. She added 6 rebounds and 2 assists to her 14 points.
The leading scorer for Serbia was Jovana Novic, with 17. Australia mostly led from start to finish, with a 48-32 lead at halftime, and 72-48 after three quarters.
Australia was the first to move to the Semi-Finals of the Olympics. They will play on Friday for a chance to get to the gold medal game.

Dugalic announced in April that she would be returning to UCLA for her fifth season with the Bruins. Head coach Cori Close is excited to have her back on campus soon, and ready for the 2024-2025 season.
