Recap

Duke came out firing, building a 33-23 halftime lead behind a relentless 10-2 run. But UCLA wasn't done. The Bruins stormed back in the third quarter, unleashing a devastating 16-2 run that flipped the script entirely—turning a 10-point deficit into a commanding lead. Duke's offense completely stalled, going silent for a stretch while the Bruins' defense suffocated any comeback attempt. The Blue Devils had no answer down the stretch. UCLA's balanced attack and lockdown defense held Duke to just 25 second-half points, sealing a dominant 70-58 victory. Lauren Betts and Kiki Rice closed it out with clutch free throws in the final minute as the No. 1 seed proved why they're the nation's elite. With this triumph, UCLA punches their ticket to the National Championship, claiming the program's first title since 2016. What a statement performance when it mattered most.
