UCLA Women’s Basketball Team Dominates Cal Poly with Impressive Performance
The UCLA women’s basketball team delivered a resounding victory over Cal Poly on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at Pauley Pavilion, with a final score of 115-28. The team’s dominant performance on both sides of the court was marked by 46 rebounds and 19 steals, showcasing their exceptional skills and teamwork.
The UCLA defense was particularly impressive, holding the Mustangs to just three points in the second quarter and forcing 31 turnovers throughout the game. This led to the Bruins scoring 59 points off turnovers, demonstrating their ability to capitalize on their opponents’ mistakes. Senior Lauren Betts had a standout game, earning her third double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
A New Era for the Betts Sisters
Freshman Sienna Betts, the No. 2 recruit from the 2025 class, made her debut with the Bruins, sharing the court with her sister Lauren for the first time. Despite playing under restricted minutes due to a leg injury, Sienna scored her first field goal in the fourth quarter, contributing to the Bruins’ first 100-point game since December 2024 against Long Beach State. She also earned her first assist in the first quarter, passing to her sister Lauren as she drove to the basket.
Sienna’s performance was a promising start to her collegiate career, as she finished the game with five points and two assists. Her restricted minutes were a precautionary measure, but she is expected to play a more significant role in the team as she recovers from her injury. The Bruins’ victory was a testament to their depth and talent, with five players scoring in double digits by the end of the game.
A Repeat Performance for the Mustangs
The Mustangs’ loss to the Bruins was a familiar story, as they had lost to the same team exactly a year ago with a score of 69-37. This time, they were without their leading scorer Vanessa McManus, which likely contributed to their struggles against the dominant UCLA team. The Bruins closed the second quarter with 27 unanswered points, punctuated by a three-pointer by Angela Dugalić at the buzzer, setting the tone for the rest of the game.
The UCLA women’s basketball team’s impressive performance against Cal Poly demonstrates their strength and potential for the season. With talented players like the Betts sisters and a strong team dynamic, they are likely to continue making waves in the world of college basketball.
