LOS ANGELES — Janiah Barker had 18 points and 11 rebounds, Lauren Betts had 17 points and 12 rebounds and the No. 5 UCLA womens basketball team rolled past Pepperdine 91-54 on Tuesday.

The Bruins (3-0) started the matinee game scoring the first 18 points. Ornela Muca, who led Pepperdine (1-2) with 20 points, made a 3-pointer to stop the run.

Betts made all six of her shots in the first half and didnt miss until the third quarter. Seven of her 12 rebounds were on the offensive end.

UCLA outrebounded Pepperdine 56-22 as no Wave player had more than three boards.

Pepperdine missed 12 of its first 16 shots. With Betts scoring at will inside, the Waves could ill afford to start the game cold but thats what happened. The Waves shot 30.5% (18 of 59) from the field, while the Bruins shot 52.1% (37 of 71)

UCLA came out of the gate on fire even though it was an unusually early weekday game. Betts was dominant in the paint and scored on a putback and was fouled for a three-point play for the big 18-0 lead.

Gabriela Jaquez added 15 points and eight rebounds in the victory. Elise Aarnisalo finished with 16 points, including 3 for 3 from beyond the 3-point line, and nine assists
