Natalie Chou scores a game-high 19 points and the Bruins close the game on a 9-0 run to defeat the Anteaters, 61-48, on Friday night at Pauley Pavilion.
LOS ANGELES — Natalie Chou scored a game-high 19 points and made five 3-pointers as the UCLA women’s basketball team defeated UC Irvine, 61-48, in a first round of the WNIT on Friday night at Pauley Pavilion.
UCI’s Kayla Williams hit a half-court buzzer-beater as the third quarter ended to get the Anteaters within six points, then she added another early in the fourth to cut UCLA’s lead to 46-43. The Bruins pushed the margin back to seven points, but a Naomi Hunt 3-pointer got UCI within 52-48 with 3:50 left before UCLA closed the game with a 9-0 run.
For the Anteaters, who finished second in the Big West Conference during the regular season then lost to first-place Hawaii in the Big West Tournament title game, it was another chance to test themselves against a Pac-12 program with a proud postseason tradition.
