BOULDER — Michaela Onyenwere scored 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds and the eighth-ranked UCLA Bruins survived a frenetic comeback by Colorado for a 65-62 victory over the Buffaloes on Sunday.
The Bruins (16-0, 5-0 Pac-12) led by 25 in the third quarter but sweated out the victory.
Peanut Tuitele’s layup with 1:05 remaining pulled Colorado to 64-62, and UCLA called a timeout. The Bruins missed three subsequent shots but grabbed offensive rebounds twice, then the ball went off Buffaloes guard Quinessa Caylao-do with 19.4 seconds remaining. It appeared she was fouled on the play but no infraction was called, and the Bruins maintained possession.
