LOS ANGELES -- — Janiah Barker had her fourth double-double of the season with 12 points and 13 rebounds and top-ranked UCLA led throughout in its 69-37 victory over Cal Poly on Monday night at Pauley Pavilion.
Londynn Jones and Angela Dugalic also scored 12 points in UCLA's first home game since it took over the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll on Nov. 25.
Timea Gardiner added 11 points for the Bruins (11-0), who were missing leading scorer and rebounder Lauren Betts. The junior center, third in the Big Ten in scoring at 19.8 points per game, was sidelined due to a lower leg injury.
Mary Carter scored 11 points for Cal Poly (4-6), which has dropped four of its last five.
Cal Poly: The Mustangs were much closer in their second trip this season to Los Angeles. They lost 90-35 at No. 7 USC on Nov. 9.
UCLA: It is the second straight season and third time in coach Cori Close's 14 seasons in Westwood that the Bruins have won their first 11 games.
