UCLA beats Cal 44-32 | Pac-10 women's basketball

BERKELEY, Calif. — Darxia Morris scored all seven of her points after halftime, Doreena Campbell had three free throws and a key layup in the final 2 ½ minutes and UCLA overcame a horrendous start to beat California 44-32 on Saturday.

The teams combined for just 22 points in the first half, the fewest in a half since 2004. They also came close to matching the NCAA record for fewest combined points for a game before a late scoring surge by the Bruins.

Morris was shut out in the first half and didn't score until making a short jumper with 13:11 remaining. She later sank a three-pointer as part of a 9-2 run then banked in a 3-foot jumper to make it 33-24.

Campbell and Nina Earl finished with nine points apiece for UCLA (15-7, 8-3 Pac-10).

Alexis Gray-Lawson had 11 points while Rachelle Frederico added 10 for Cal (12-10, 6-5), which fell into fifth place in the Pac-10.

The Bruins, who had won four straight before losing to No. 2 Stanford 74-53 on Thursday, shot a season-low 27.5 percent from the floor (14 of 51) and had 18 turnovers but won at Haas Pavilion for the first time since 2005 behind a stingy defense that held Cal scoreless for the final 11 minutes of the first half.

UCLA limited the Bears to 21.7 percent shooting and outrebounded Cal 42-33, winning despite not having a single player in double figures.

"Offensively, I felt we were scared," Cal coach Joanne Boyle said. "We didn't want the responsibility. We had players hide. We had players not show up."
