"You're not using what you've earned," Close recalled telling her while speaking with reporters Friday."
"I just want her to be all she can be," Close said. "She's been an animal down there in the low post, and I want her to hunt for that. I don't want her to settle for playing on the perimeter when she's got a whole lot more tools in her toolbox that she's not accessing."
"It was pure dominance by UCLA. The Bruins shot 51% from the field while holding the Jaguars to 29%. They outrebounded Southern by 30. They forced 13 turnovers, nine in the first half, and scored 28 points off them. And on the offensive end, UCLA was flowing with 24 assists to Southern's nine."
Coach Cori Close urged forward Angela Dugalic to use her low-post skills rather than float on the perimeter. Dugalic delivered, scoring 20 points with five rebounds and an assist while shooting eight of 15, including three three-pointers. UCLA overwhelmed Southern 88-37, shooting 51% and holding Southern to 29% from the field. The Bruins outrebounded the Jaguars by 30, forced 13 turnovers (nine in the first half) and scored 28 points off turnovers. UCLA also posted 24 assists and pitched a second-quarter shutout as the team improved to 6-0 ahead of a matchup with No. 4 Texas.
