No. 3 seed UCLA women’s basketball met its match in the third round of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, losing to No. 2 seed Texas. The Bruins, who were NIT champions in 2015, made a lengthy tournament run with a young roster, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Longhorns in a 72-64 loss. Coach Cori Close said that the youthful squad will be able to take lessons from this season into the upcoming year. Four of the team’s five starters will return.
