COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --- Lauren Betts had 18 points and 16 rebounds as No. 4
UCLA extended its winning streak to six games with an 82-75 win over No. 19
Ohio State on Sunday.
Kiki Rice added 16 points and Angela Dugalic scored 15 as UCLA (12-1, 2-0 Big
Ten) beat the Buckeyes for the fourth straight time, dating to December 2023.
Jaloni Cambridge led all scorers with 28 points, and Elsa Lemmila added 13
points and seven rebounds for Ohio State (11-2, 1-1) which had its nine-game
winning streak halted in its conference home opener.
The Bruins built a 76--60 lead midway through the fourth quarter before Ohio
State closed the gap behind strong defense and key late baskets from Cambridge,
T'yana Todd and Chance Gray. The Buckeyes closed within six points with about
two minutes remaining, but got no closer.
UCLA outrebounded Ohio State 47--33, including a 19--10 edge on the offensive
end that led to a 35--10 advantage in second-chance points. Betts anchored the
Bruins in the paint as UCLA outscored the Buckeyes 50--32 inside.
Ohio State struggled from 3-point range in the first half, missing its first 11
attempts before Lemmila connected with 3:43 left in the second quarter. The
Buckeyes found some rhythm in the third quarter, hitting six 3-pointers, and
finished 7 of 30 (23%) from beyond the arc.
