LOS ANGELES - Anne Bair netted a team-high 13 points as Colgate fell to No. 5 UCLA Bruins 81-63 at Pauley Pavilion on Sunday afternoon.

COACH ADEDUNTAN'S COMMENTS

"Really proud of our effort and intensity. We competed and that was a key for us, to go out and compete on both ends of the floor. We had a lot of possessions where we worked our butt off. We found success both offensively and defensively and I think we can grow from it. We have a growth mentality as a program and our kids are bought in so I couldn't be prouder.

[On coming back to Hamilton] I am excited to play on our home court. The next game is the most important to us, we are going to work over the next couple days, clean up some things, and then be ready to play against Central Connecticut."
