The UCLA Women’s Basketball team under Head Coach Cori Close has been on a winning trajectory the last two years.
In 2015, the Bruins turned what could have been a disappointing season into a stepping stone for the future. The Bruins did not make the NCAA Tournament but was invited to the NIT.
UCLA took that opportunity not to hang their heads, but to keep playing with each other and for each other for another few weeks. The result was an NIT Championship over West Virginia in which freshman Jordin Canada scored 31 points.
