With the loss of four starters from the 15-12 squad of last
season, the UCLA women’s basketball team began the rebuilding year
last Friday night at Pauley Pavilion with a 58-55 loss to North
Carolina State.
The Wolfpack (1-0 overall) had a 26-23 lead going into the
second half of the game and stretched that lead to 47-35 with 9:29
remaining.
UCLA (0-1) chipped away at the lead and trailed, 57-54 with 2:22
remaining. Junior guard Ricarda Kuypers, however, missed a
three-point attempt to tie, when her shot from the top of the key
failed to fall.
Senior forward Kellie Bennett led the Bruins with 13 points and
seven rebounds. Kuypers and Bruin center Kisa Hughes each scored 10
points. Guard Tammy Gibson tallied 16 points for NC State.
The Bruins will host UC Irvine tonight, 7 p.m. at Pauley
Pavilion.
