The defending Mountain West champions were unable to find their groove against the national title contenders from Los Angeles
The San Diego State women’s basketball team opened the 2025/26 season with a 77-53 defeat against No. 3 UCLA at the Orange County Hoops Classic in Anaheim.
As evidenced by the score, it was a collective struggle against an opponent with national championship aspirations. However, this marked the first time in school history where no scholarship upperclassmen returned, leaving room for improvement within head coach Stacie Terry-Hutson’s squad.
