Over the last week and a half of practice, UCLA coach Cori Close challenged her team to work on its consistency, physicality and ability to defend with pride. She wants her team to play to the standard it's known for.

With a dominant performance on both sides of the court, including 46 rebounds and 19 steals, the UCLA women's basketball team beat Cal Poly 115-28 on Tuesday at Pauley Pavilion, the Bruins demonstrating the potential they can reach on the court.

"We still have work to do, we still have some improvements that need to happen, but I thought we were more consistently playing with intention, connectivity and discipline," she said. "I think it's the first time all year we've hid all of our angles."

The UCLA defense held the Mustangs (2-8) to single-digit scoring in the last three quarters and forced 31 turnovers. The Bruins (10-1) scored 59 points off turnovers. Senior Lauren Betts earned her third double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds while Kiki Rice led the team with 23 points and missed out on a double-double by two rebounds.
