The UCLA Bruins continued their perfect start to the 2024-2025 season on Monday with a 69-37 win over Cal Poly at home, as the Bruins moved to 11-0.
UCLA joins Georgia Tech, Tennessee, LSU, Maryland, Ohio State and Michigan State as schools from the Power Four conferences that are still unbeaten, with four of those teams coming from the Big Ten.
Monday’s game was a low-scoring affair, with the Mustangs 37 points being tied for the lowest amount the Bruins gave up this season and the 69 points being the least UCLA has scored in a game in North America this season, with the Bruins scoring just 66 points in their season-opener against Louisville in France.
Junior center Lauren Betts did not play Monday, missing the game with a lower body injury that doesn’t appear to be serious. With no Betts, three Bruins finished with 12 points which was the high mark for UCLA on Monday, with junior guard Londynn Jones, senior Angela Dugalic and junior forward Janiah Barker all finishing with a dozen.
The Bruins had one of their worst games of the season shooting the three ball, going 6-25 (24%) in the game, their second lowest three point percentage of the year, with their 3-16 (19%) performance in their win over Hawaii being the only worst percentage.
While UCLA didn’t have their sharpest shooting night, it was still better than what the Bruins defense did to the Mustangs, with Cal Poly shooting 26% from the field while turning the ball over 20 times. The Bruins are back in action on Friday in San Francisco as they’ll face Creighton to kick off the Bay Area Women’s Classic at 8:00p.m.
