UCLA women's basketball team defeated Texas 51-44 in a national semifinal, marking their first NCAA championship in program history. The Bruins overcame a deficit of 13 points in the final minutes of the game to secure their 30th consecutive victory. Despite some cold shooting and sloppy stretches, UCLA held on despite committing 23 turnovers and holding Texas to 30.8% shooting. The team will face South Carolina in the other semi-final, which ended UConn's 54-game winning streak. Despite a previous loss to Texas, UCLA avoided another rematch after South Carolina shocked UConn in the Other Seminal.
