Bruins to play for first championship in program history
Lauren Betts had 16 points and made a huge block in the final minutes, and UCLA withstood a late charge by Texas on Friday night for a 51-44 win to reach the national championship game of the NCAA women’s tournament for the first time.
Manhandled by eventual national champion UConn in their first Final Four a year ago, the Bruins (36-1) dominated their way to another national semi-final with the best season in program history.
