LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alyssia Brewer scored 16 points and No. 18 UCLA’s defense forced 18 turnovers in a 70-42 victory over Utah on Sunday, extending the Bruins’ winning streak to four games.
Antonye Nyingifa added 13 points and eight rebounds, and Nirra Fields had 11 points for the Bruins (17-4, 8-2 Pac-12), who have won 10 of 12. They had 11 turnovers after committing a season-high 29 in Friday’s win over No. 22 Colorado.
Michelle Plouffe had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Iwalani Rodrigues added 11 points for the Utes (11-10, 2-8). They’ve lost four straight — all on the road — and 10 of 11 after winning their first seven games.
UCLA had the game under control from the start, racing to a 14-1 lead as the Utes missed all eight of their field-goal attempts and committed nine turnovers. Utah didn’t score its first basket until Plouffe’s layup at 11:19.
