This season, she guided UCLA to 28-5 record, a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and she signed the nation’s third-ranked recruiting class behind only Tennessee and Connecticut according to ESPN.com. UCLA set school records for regular-season victories (26), Pac-10 wins (16) and scoring defense (55.3 points per game).
