UCLA Sets WNBA Draft Record

The UCLA Bruins' dominance on the collegiate court has translated into a historic night at the WNBA Draft in New York.

Coach Cori Close celebrated as Lauren Betts, Gabriela Jaquez, and Kiki Rice were taken with consecutive picks in the top six.

The record-breaking performance surpasses the previous mark held by Geno Auriemma's UConn Huskies for over two decades.

The influx of UCLA talent is expected to significantly reshape the league's competitive landscape as the Bruins' stars join established franchises and expansion teams alike.
