LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Angela Dugalic scored a season-high 22 points and had a
career-high five steals as No. 2 UCLA extended its winning streak to 15 with an
88-65 victory over No. 8 Iowa on Sunday.
Kiki Rice had 17 points and seven assists and Lauren Betts scored 16 points as
the Bruins (21-1, 11-0 Big Ten) remained the only undefeated team in conference
play while improving to 10-0 at home. UCLA has won both of its games against
Iowa since moving to the Big Ten last season.
The Bruins shot 57.8% from the floor and went 6 of 12 from 3-point range after
they entered fifth in the nation from distance at 38.4%. Iowa shot 43.4% from
the field.
Ava Heiden scored 19 points and Hannah Stuelke added 13 for the Hawkeyes (18-3,
9-2), who went 0-2 on their trip to Los Angeles. They lost 81-69 to Southern
California on Thursday.
Taylor Stremlow scored 12 points for Iowa, which fell behind by double digits
midway through the second quarter and never threatened the rest of the way.
Iowa led 5-2 just over two minutes into the game before UCLA went on a 6-0 run
and never trailed again. The Bruins led 17-13 after one quarter and were up
28-18 near the midway point of the second.
UCLA led 39-28 at halftime, shooting 54.8% from the floor and getting 10 points
from Dugalic. The Bruins pushed ahead 58-30 with an 11-0 run in the third
quarter.
Iowa got within 66-53 on a 3-pointer from Stremlow with 7:07 remaining before
UCLA went on a 14-4 burst.
