Moments after the UCLA women's basketball team made history, players sprinted to celebrate with students who surged onto the court from the sellout crowd. "We expected to win," UCLA coach Cori Close said, eliciting a nod from Betts as they sat next to each other to meet with reporters. UCLA (5-0) never trailed and made it difficult for South Carolina to get decent shots in the early going. 1 thing we did was we forced them into difficult shots," Close said. "That was beautiful basketball by UCLA, beautiful on both sides," said Staley, whose team shot 36.4% to the Bruins' 47.5%.
