The Bruins swept Big Ten conference play, going undefeated across all 18 games and winning the regular season title.

So it is only natural they captured the individual hardware too.

No. 2 UCLA women’s basketball (28-1, 18-0 Big Ten) took home a near sweep of the Big Ten postseason honors Tuesday morning, winning four of the five individual awards and seeing athletes selected to nearly every single all-conference team. 

Lauren Betts led the way, earning both Big Ten Player of the Year and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in coaches and media selections. 

Not only is this Betts’ second conference DPOY honor, as she earned the accolade last season in addition to Naismith Defensive Player of the Year, but the senior center also becomes the first player in Big Ten history to claim both of the top individual awards in the same season. 

Betts averages 16.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game – all team highs. Her 8.8 boards per game clip ranks first in the Big Ten. Betts also ranks second in the conference in double-doubles with 11. She led the conference before Illinois’ Cearah Parchment earned her 11th and 12th last week. 

UCLA also won its second consecutive Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year recognition with graduate student forward Angela Dugalić taking it home this season. Former Bruin forward Janiah Barker, who transferred to Tennessee in the offseason, won the award last year. 

Dugalić, in her sixth collegiate season and fifth with UCLA, averages 9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 50.2% from the field and 35.7% from beyond the arc, making her the only bench player in the nation to record marks that high.

Coach Cori Close claimed UCLA’s fourth honor, winning Big Ten Coach of the Year. 

Close swept the national Coach of the Year awards last year and led the Bruins to an undefeated conference season this year, making her just the fourth coach in Big Ten history to achieve the feat. Under Close, UCLA boasts the most ranked wins of any team in the country with 10. 

The only individual award the Bruins did not earn was Big Ten Freshman of the Year, which went to USC guard Jazzy Davidson. It marked the first time the Trojans, who walked away with the top honor last season when now-injured guard JuJu Watkins was named 2025 Big Ten Player of the Year, have won the award. 

Davidson boasts seven Big Ten Freshman of the Week selections and ranks first on the team in per-game averages for points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals, making her the only player in the country to lead her team in all five categories. 

UCLA’s five-star freshman recruit forward Sienna Betts was named to the conference’s All-Big Ten Freshman Team by both coaches and media. 

Sienna Betts, who was sidelined because of a lower leg injury until Dec. 16, has since been added to the mix as a bench player and averages 6.8 points and four rebounds per game. Her boards-to-minutes-played ratio is one of the highest on the team.

Lauren Betts and senior guard Kiki Rice were unanimous First Team All-Big Ten selections by both the coaches and media. 

Senior forward Gabriela Jaquez was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team by both coaches and media, while graduate student guard Gianna Kneepkens was named to the Second Team by media and selected as a Big Ten honorable mention by coaches. 

The Bruins rounded out the Big Ten honors with graduate student guard Charlisse Leger-Walker, who was one of 18 sportsmanship honorees.

Since joining the Big Ten last season, UCLA has won six of the 10 individual conference awards, making it the most decorated school in that time frame. 

The Bruins will make a run for their second Big Ten tournament championship this week in Indianapolis.
