Saturday February 15, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) Nikki Blue had 13 points and UCLA held
Arizona scoreless for the final 3:07 in defeating the 24th-ranked
Wildcats 48-47 Friday night.
Dee-Dee Wheeler missed a shot from the top of the key in the
final seconds for Arizona (16-7, 9-5 Pac-10). The buzzer sounded
before either team could control the rebound.
Gennifer Arranaga and Lisa Willis each scored nine points for
UCLA (13-9, 8-5). Arranaga's free throw with 1:07 left proved to be
the deciding point.
Wheeler led Arizona with 16 points, 14 in the second half, while
Shawntinice Polk added 13 points. Arizona led 29-25 at halftime.
The Bruins won despite conference-leading scorer Michelle Greco
not scoring. The senior, who averages 20 points a game, was
experiencing flu-like symptoms and missed all five of her shot
attempts.
