For five years, Charisma Osborne has delivered for UCLA. Of course, on her senior night, she did it again.
The fifth-year guard knocked down a critical three-pointer with 1:28 left against No. 13 Colorado to spur the No. 8 Bruins to a gritty 53-45 win at Pauley Pavilion on Monday. The Moreno Valley native, one of five senior players honored before the game, finished with 14 points and two rebounds as the Bruins fought through a scoring drought in the fourth quarter.
Sophomore Kiki Rice led the Bruins with 20 points, nine rebounds and four assists. With UCLA needing to rely on its defense to secure a second top-20 win of the long weekend, Rice also had three blocks and two steals.
