Series History
Sunday marks the 17th meeting between UCLA and Utah, with the Bruins owning a 13-3 lead in the all-time series. UCLA has dominated of late, boasting a 12-game winning streak, which began in 2009 with a 69-33 triumph in San Diego. The Bruins haven't lost to the Utes since Dec. 1, 2001 - an 89-42 setback in Salt Lake City. UCLA swept Utah last season. In the last road meeting against the Utes, Michaela Onyenwere notched her first career double-double - a 20-point, 11-rebound effort to lead the Bruins to an 81-74 triumph. UCLA needed overtime to top Utah at Pauley Pavilion last season, getting 22 points and 14 assists from Jordin Canada to earn a 78-71 win.
ย
UCLA's Last Time Out
UCLA overcame a nine-point first-quarter deficit to take down Colorado 64-60 on Friday night at the CU Events Center.
ย
Sophomore Michaela Onyenwere was clutch, collecting her ninth double-double of the season with 22 points and 11 rebounds. This marked her 11th straight game in double figures. She hit a critical jumper with less than 90 seconds to put UCLA up five. ย
ย
She's Human
Japreece Dean saw her record-breaking free throw streak end at 40 in a row at Colorado on Feb. 8. This was the most in Bruin history, topping Michelle Greco's long-standing record of 32, set from 2002-03. Dean's streak began on Nov. 24 vs. South Florida in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and ended in the fourth quarter at Colorado on Feb. 8. The 5-6 senior was only four free throws shy of Bonnie Samuelson's (Stanford) record of 44.
ย
Onyenwere's Hot Streak
Michaela Onyenwere is enjoying an explosive sophomore campaign, having posted 10 20-plus point games and nine double-doubles. She has scored in double figures in each of the last 11 games and has eclipsed the 25-point mark six times, including a career-high-tying 29 points at No. 18/19 Cal. In Pac-12 play, Onyenwere is averaging 20.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game. Onyenwere has made 14 3-pointers this season, all of which have come in Pac-12 play (only had one last year).
ย
The Race to 800
With a career-high 17 boards at Arizona on Jan. 27, Lajahna Drummer moved to 12th on UCLA's all-time rebounding list. She is currently 14 boards away from becoming the ninth player in program history with at least 800 rebounds and needs nine more rebounds to pass Noelle Quinn, who pulled down 794 rebounds from 2004-07.
