LOS ANGELES -- Heather Oliver scored 15 points and Allison
Jaskowiak went 5-for-6 from the line in the final seconds as USC
stopped a late rally to beat UCLA 64-56 Saturday night.
Nadia Parker had 13 points and 10 rebounds and Camille LeNoir
added 12 points, six assists, four steals and a block for the
Trojans (11-7, 4-3 Pac-10), who never trailed as they beat the
Bruins (9-9, 4-3) for the sixth straight time.
Lindsey Pluimer scored 15 points including a 3-pointer that took
the Bruins, who had trailed by as many as 21 in the second half,
within two with a minute to play.
USC led 59-56 when Parker missed the second of two free throws
then blocked a UCLA shot attempt.
Jaskowiak grabbed the ensuing loose ball with 2.6 seconds to
play. She was fouled and a scuffle followed that resulted in four
technical fouls -- one on USC and three on UCLA -- and four
ejections.
With two technicals off-setting, Jaskowiak ended up with four
free throws on technicals and a one-and-one. She sank five for the
final margin.
Tierra Henderson had 12 points for the Bruins and Candice Brown
had a career-high seven rebounds.
