Cal Poly heads south to Los Angeles looking to halt a four-game road skid, but the challenge doesn’t get any easier with a trip to Pauley Pavilion to face UCLA.
The Bruins have been dominant at home, protecting their floor with a perfect 4–0 mark this season. They’ve also been strong on the glass, ranking near the top of the Big Ten in rebounding at just over 39 boards per game, with Betts setting the tone inside by pulling down nearly eight rebounds a night.
For the Mustangs, life away from home has been rough. They’re still searching for their first road win at 0–4 and have struggled to stretch the floor, hitting just under 29 percent from beyond the arc, a middle-of-the-pack figure in the Big West.
History also leans heavily toward the Bruins. UCLA has never lost to Cal Poly, winning all 11 previous meetings, including every matchup played at Pauley Pavilion. This game also marks the second straight season the teams have met on December 16, and last year’s contest ended in emphatic fashion with UCLA cruising to a 69–37 victory.

UCLA vs Cal Poly team news & key performers
UCLA Bruins team news
UCLA leaned heavily on its veteran presence to get the job done, with senior Lauren Betts once again setting the tone. Betts recorded her second double-double of the year, pouring in 24 points while pulling down 14 rebounds. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year also made her presence felt on the other end, swatting away five shots and adding a steal in a dominant all-around performance.
Graduate guard Gianna Kneepkens provided a steady scoring punch, finishing with 17 points on an efficient 7-of-13 shooting night, including three makes from beyond the arc, all while playing a clean game without committing a turnover.
Although Charlisse Leger-Walker didn’t fill up the scoring column, her impact was felt everywhere else. The graduate guard from New Zealand stuffed the stat sheet with 10 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and a block in just under 26 minutes, doing all the little things that helped push the Bruins past Oregon.
Freshman Lena Bilic also made her mark, contributing 13 points on solid shooting and knocking down three triples while adding three rebounds, continuing to show her growing confidence on the floor.
