Originally Published 2 years ago — by ESPN
In a highly anticipated Pac-12 conference opener, the second-ranked UCLA women's basketball team extended their winning streak over crosstown rivals, No. 6 USC, to nine games with a 71-64 victory. Londynn Jones led the Bruins with 21 points, contributing significantly with five 3-pointers. Despite a strong performance from USC's JuJu Watkins, who scored 27 points, UCLA's tough nonconference schedule and team resilience proved to be key factors in their win. The game set a new attendance record for UCLA women's basketball, with 13,659 fans, including several notable UCLA alumni.
