UCSB Women’s Basketball to Host No. 15 Ranked UCLA on Saturday
The Gauchos Are Seeking Their Third Consecutive Victory Against UCLA
The biggest test of the season for the UCSB women’s basketball team will be here on Saturday as No. 15 ranked UCLA will be visiting the Thunderdome for a non-conference contest beginning at 7 p.m.
The Bruins (7-1) are coming off a 73-64 loss at No. 1 ranked South Carolina, but will be a thrilling challenge for a UCSB (5-1) team that is riding a two-game winning streak.
“We continue to grow and I think what’s really special is some players from last year that are just in different roles have really embraced that,” said UCSB coach Bonnie Hendrickson. “With losing Danae Miller at the point guard that’s who had the ball in her hands at the end of the games, so we were worried about who is replacing Danae, yes, but what was really magnified as a staff is who is going to have the ball in their hands at the end of the game. We’ve had some young players really step up.”
