Lauren Betts Leads No. 2 UCLA to 69-66 Win over No. 8 Michigan, Takes 2-Game Lead in Big Ten Race

Lauren Betts posted a double-double with 16 points and 16 rebounds as UCLA ended Michigan's nine-game Big Ten winning streak, extending their own to 17 games.

  • At Crisler Center yesterday, No. 2 UCLA defeated No. 8 Michigan 69-66 before 6,108 fans, with Lauren Betts, UCLA center, recording 16 points, 16 rebounds, five assists and three blocks.
  • Using its size advantage, UCLA outscored Michigan by 14 over the second and third quarters and exploited junior forward Ashley Sofilkanich's foul trouble.
  • UCLA's balanced attack featured Kiki Rice's 20, Gabriela Jaquez's 13 and Gianna Kneepkens' 12, while Olivia Olson led Michigan with 20 points on 8-for-21 shooting, including nine in the fourth quarter.
