UCLA’s Cori Close can complete her resume by getting Bruins a championship

UCLA coach Cori Close has the chance to win her first national championship and complete her resume when the Bruins face South Carolina on Sunday. A win would solidify Close and her program as one of the best in women's basketball, and deliver UCLA its first national title in 30-plus years.
UCLA coach Cori Close is one win away from her first national championship. The Bruins will face South Carolina on Sunday. Close has been a consistent advocate for women's basketball and has dedicated her life to the sport. The only thing missing from her resume is a national championship. The Bruins had a chance last season but lost to UConn in the Final Four. This year feels different, with the team being more strategic and prepared. The Bruins won their first Final Four game in the NCAA era on Friday night, defeating Texas 51-44. Close's players have spoken about their business-like approach, and the fun may be saved for Sunday if they win the championship.
