We win 86-80 with the Bruins never giving up despite us extending it to a double digit lead early in the fourth. We were somewhat saved by their poor FT shooting as we could not get some key shots to go down late in the fourth and they kept getting second or even third chances on their end of the floor.
The stars were the big three: DiJonai, Alanna and Kiana. DiJonai was one rebound shy of joining the other two with double-doubles as each of them scored at least 21 points
They needed to, as we got no bench points in this game, which would have been unheard of, earlier in the season with our depth. Alyssa did come up with a big 3 late in the fourth when UCLA was within three points
Alanna's ability to step up in the 3rd quarter really turned the game around. Already with their hands full with DiJonai, Alanna was able to take the opportunity and give the Bruins another issue to deal withÂ
With our injury woes, we were very fortunate to come away with a sweep of the LA schools
Hopefully, this week will allow Lexie to get back to full strength, Maya to come back and Marta to continue making steps towards her own return
