UCLA got back into the win column Friday night when the No. 5 Bruins knocked off No. 3 Colorado, 76-68, and snapped the Buffaloes’ nine-game winning streak.
UCLA (15-1) and Colorado (15-2) struggled for separation for the majority of the night. The game was tied at 60 with just under five minutes to go in the final quarter.
But Charisma Osborne and Lauren Betts helped put the Buffs away with timely layups and clutch free-throw shooting.
Osborne scored a game-high 22 points. Betts and Angela Dugalic finished with double-doubles. Betts scored 20 and pulled down 12 rebounds while Dugalic finished with 11 points and 13 boards.
UCLA returns to action on Monday when it travels to No. 20 Utah. Colorado looks to bounce back at home this Sunday against Southern Cal.
