Gallery: UCLA women’s basketball dances past LSU in Elite Eight to book program’s first tickets to Final Four



Donning new Final Four shirts and hats, No. 1 seed UCLA women’s basketball (33-2, 16-2 Big Ten) took home the Spokane 1 Regional trophy Sunday afternoon after beating No. 3 seed LSU in the Elite Eight (31-6, 12-4).

With its victory, UCLA earned a program-first berth to the Final Four, where it’ll face No. 2 seed UConn in Tampa, Florida, on Friday. Should the Bruins advance to Sunday’s national championship and emerge victorious, they’d collect UCLA’s 125th national title.
