Losing two key players was going to be a concern for UCLA basketball women’s head coach Cori Close. Jordin Canada and Monique Billings were not just major contributors on last year’s team, they were the team.

Things did not start out as well as it possibly could have as the Bruins lost their season opener at LMU, but then they rattled off three straight wins which included a huge victory over #14 Georgia.
