Women fall out of first in Pac

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES-Michelle Greco scored 18 of her 22 points in the second half and had six steals to lead No. 24 UCLA to an 80-66 victory against No. 15 Arizona on Saturday.

Greco shot 7-of-7 from the field and 8-of-8 from the foul line as UCLA (15-7, 9-3 Pac-10) surged in the final eight minutes for the victory.

Senior guard Monika Crank came off the bench to score 13 points to lead the Wildcats (20-5, 9-4), who were tied with UCLA at half-time.

Greco, a reserve, scored nine points in less than two minutes during a critical UCLA run, midway through the second half that put the Bruins up 64-51 with 6:27 to play.

With the win, the Bruins jumped ahead of Arizona in the conference standings. Arizona entered the game in a three-way tie for first with Stanford and Oregon.

Arizona, which committed 29 turnovers, pulled to 56-51 on a layup by senior forward Angela Lackey with 7:52 remaining. But the Wildcats could muster only five points over the next 5:30.

Lackey finished with 10 points, and sophomore forward Elizabeth Pickney also added 10 for Arizona.
