"Anytime UCLA built a significant lead in the first half, Oregon tried to slow the the Bruins' momentum with a timeout. The first call came after a UCLA built a 10-point advantage in the first quarter, with the second timeout after UCLA pulled ahead by 19 points. It didn't work - the Bruins remained in control of the game. The No. 4 UCLA women's basketball team (9-1) earned an 80-59 win over Oregon (10-1) during their Big Ten opener at Pauley Pavilion on Sunday."
"Center Lauren Betts led Bruins with a season high of 24 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks. Gianna Kneepkens and Lena Bilic finished with double-digit scoring, adding 17 and 13 points, respectively. After earning Big Ten Player of the Week honors, Gabriela Jaquez finished the game with eight points, four rebounds and two assists. The Bruins started the game with a six-point run put together by Kneepkens, Betts and Jaquez."
UCLA built early leads and maintained control despite Oregon calling timeouts to disrupt momentum. Center Lauren Betts produced a season-high 24 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks while playing aggressively on both ends and finding open teammates when opponents collapsed. Gianna Kneepkens scored 17 and Lena Bilic added 13, with Gabriela Jaquez contributing eight points, four rebounds and two assists. The Bruins extended their advantage in the third quarter after a Betts block led to a Kneepkens three-pointer, and Oregon never cut the deficit below 20 points the rest of the game.
