With another win, the Bruins continue their feat of dominance on the road.
No. 3 UCLA women’s basketball (19-1, 9-0 Big Ten) began yet another road trip with an 80-46 win against Northwestern (8-12, 2-7) on Sunday afternoon at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
The Bruins set the tone early with a 10-2 run.

Quincy Peters’ family friend was shot and killed by police in 2008.
Fifteen years later, she began working at the UCLA BioCritical Studies Lab – where researchers analyze the autopsies of people who have died in jails or during encounters with law enforcement officers – with the hopes of making legislative change to the policing system.

In many rivalries, the pressure builds as the year goes on – especially when national contenders collide.
And an early-season matchup between the Bruins and the Spartans could be the first turn of the dial on the pressure cooker.

The class of 2026 – the first to benefit from UCLA’s four-year housing guarantee in its entirety – is set to graduate this year.
In April 2022, UCLA Housing announced that the class of 2026 and those that were to follow would be guaranteed four-year housing on the Hill or in university apartments.
