  • The Bruins had secured the league crown before tipoff after Iowa beat Michigan earlier in the day.
  • Lauren Betts led with 19 points, 14 rebounds and five assists as five Bruins scored in double figures, including Gabriela Jaquez with 17 points and seven boards.
  • The win extended UCLA’s streak to 21 games and capped a 14-0 home record, with one regular-season game remaining.
