Women’s basketball:

Stanford wins; Cal drops 5th in row

LOS ANGELES — Kristine Anigwe had yet another big game for her 26th consecutive double-double, but it couldn’t keep the Cal women from their fifth straight loss.

Japreece Dean scored a career-high 28 points and Michaela Onyenwere added 23 with nine rebounds to help UCLA beat the Bears 80-74 on Sunday.

Dean hit four 3-pointers and had seven assists. Kennedy Burke scored 13 points for the Bruins (16-10, 9-5 Pac-12), who rebounded from a loss to No. 10 Stanford on Friday to win for the seventh time in their past eight games.

UCLA is a half-game behind No. 19 Arizona State for fourth in the conference standings. The top four teams earn a first-round bye in next month’s Pac-12 tournament.

The Bruins missed nine consecutive shots as Cal scored 11 consecutive points to take a 61-58 lead early in the fourth quarter. Onyenwere answered with a 3-point play to spark a 13-4 run that gave UCLA the lead for good.

Dean made two free throws and then hit a 3-pointer to cap the spurt and make it 71-65 with 2:29 to play. The Bruins made 8 of 8 from the freethrow line down the stretch to seal it.

Anigwe had 27 points and 15 rebounds for Cal (14-11, 5-9). Anigwe moved past Lisa Leslie (2,414 career points) into fifth on the Pac-12’s all-time scoring list and is tied with Stanford’s Jayne Appel — passing Washington’s Chantel Osahor (1,253) — for fourth in conference history with 1,263 rebounds.

Anigwe and Chiney Ogwumike (Stanford, 2010-14) are the only players in the Pac-12’s top five of both categories.
