UCLA star Lauren Betts registered a career-high 33 points in an 82-67 road win against Maryland on Sunday. In the process, she also reached 1,000 career points.
“Growth, that’s it,” UCLA coach Cori Close said of Betts’ performance. “Growth and being willing to put in the work. There are no shortcuts. We say the standard is the standard. She’s willing to put in the work and she is reaping the fruit of her labor.”
Betts was unstoppable from the beginning as she registered 24 points in the first half, then tied her previous career high of 31 points early in the third quarter. She finished the day going an impressive 14 of 15 from the field. Betts also contributed seven rebounds, four assists, four blocks and a steal.
