LOS ANGELES — The unbeaten streak is over for UCLA. The top-ranked Bruins lost 71-60 to sixth-ranked USC and JuJu Watkins, ending their school-record run of 23 consecutive victories to open the season. They were the nation's last unbeaten women's team. The Bruins rallied from a 14-point deficit in the first half to lead 52-47 going into the fourth. That's when Watkins and USC took over. They outscored UCLA 24-8, including 11-2 to end the game. UCLA missed its first eight shots and was just 2 of 16 from the floor in the quarter. There's little time to regroup as the Bruins host No. 22 Michigan State on Sunday.
