Washington State Triumphs Over No. 2 UCLA Despite Leger-Walker Injury

UCLA's Comeback Attempt Falls Short in Final Moments of the Game

Washington State secured an 85-82 victory over No. 2 UCLA, despite a knee injury to All-Pac-12 guard Charlisse Leger-Walker.
Leger-Walker, who had scored 17 points, suffered the non-contact injury with 7:30 remaining in the third quarter.
UCLA nearly erased a 20-point third-quarter deficit, but ultimately fell short in the final moments of the game.
UCLA's Kiki Rice had a career-best 25 points, but her last-gasp three-point shot at the buzzer missed, sealing the victory for Washington State.
UCLA struggled on defense without sophomore center Lauren Betts, the team's top scorer and the nation's leader in field-goal percentage.
