Lauren Betts had 25 points and 12 rebounds and No. 1 UCLA shut out Indiana for more than eight minutes in the first half of a 73-62 victory in its first visit as a Big Ten Conference member.

While Indiana’s defense faltered at times throughout the second half, its offense was able to keep it within reach of UCLA. It outscored UCLA by 1 point in the second half, and although the Hoosier’s efforts weren’t enough to upset the number one team in the country, Moren still found positives in her teams 62-73 defeat to the Bruins.
