The slow starts have been haunting Arizona women’s basketball of late. Falling behind by double digits has become routine, and it happened again at UCLA where the Wildcats were down 19-8 after the first quarter. Once again, it didn’t matter, as the team completed its third straight comeback victory with the 74-63 win.
It was the first victory for Arizona in Pauley Pavilion since Feb. 2007.
Cate Reese brought the Wildcats back in the second, scoring nine points and grabbing three rebounds. Arizona went into the half down by just four, and Reese ended the game with 12 points, 10 rebounds, an assist, and a steal.
