Lauren Betts posted 17 points and seven rebounds to guide No. 1 UCLA to an easy 83-49 win over host Purdue on Tuesday in West Lafayette, Ind.
The win helped the Bruins (16-0, 5-0 Big Ten) match their best start to a season in program history. They began the 2019-20 campaign with 16 straight wins as well.
Betts was her usual self, as she’s scored in double figures in every game this season. Timea Gardiner added 16 points off the UCLA bench, making 6 of 8 shots overall and 4 of 5 from the 3-point arc in her best performance since November.
Kiki Rice and Janiah Barker each added 11 points for the Bruins. Elina Aarnisalo had a team-high seven assists off the bench.
The only double-figure scorer for Purdue (7-8, 0-4) was Destini Lombard, who scored 16. Rashunda Jones added eight points and seven assists.
UCLA raced out to a 29-13 lead after one quarter and a 44-19 advantage at halftime. The Boilermakers could only try to play catch-up the rest of the night, trailing by as many as 37 points.
