Angela Dugalic returning to UCLA for fifth year

UCLA Bruins women’s basketball got Angela Dugalic to return for a fifth year with the program.

The UCLA Bruins women’s basketball team fell to the LSU Tigers in the Sweet 16. That game had plenty of buzz, and the future is bright for Cori Close’s team after the loss.

Now, Angela Dugalic has announced her decision to return for a fifth year with the Bruins. She gave the news on an Instagram post on Friday with the caption that reads “Why not? Let’s run it back!”

Dugalic has been a big part of the UCLA roster and averaged 9 PPG with 6.6 rebounds this past season, With Charisma Osborne leaving, there could be more opportunity for players such as Dugalic.

She was a starter for the team and had four points with eight rebounds in the Sweet 16 loss but had nine points and seven boards in the Round of 64 win over California Baptist, where Lauren Betts sat out.

Dugalic returning is huge for UCLA.
