WACO, Texas (AP) - Even an ugly win feels good against a team like UCLA.

Danielle Crockrom scored 15 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and Sheila Lambert added 19 points to lead No. 9 Baylor to a 92-59 win over UCLA on Sunday in a turnover-filled game.

"This is just another win," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson said. "But there are a handful of schools with name recognition and national championships that immediately draw interest, and UCLA is certainly one."

Jessika Stratton and Lauren Selmon also hit for double figures, scoring 10 apiece for Baylor (10-0). The teams combined for 35 turnovers.

The Lady Bears dominated UCLA (3-5) on the boards and the free throw line.

Baylor outrebounded UCLA 61-38 and went 27-for-37 from the free-throw line, compared to 13-of-27 for the Bruins.

"We were hoping to control them," UCLA coach Kathy Olivier said. "We did a good job focusing on the post early, but we didn't get it done the entire game."

Whitney Jones had 14 points and Jalina Bradley added 12 for UCLA (3-5).

Baylor built a 39-24 halftime lead, closing with a 7-0 run in the final three minutes.

Crockrom, held to only six points in the first half, scored Baylor's first eight points of the second half, finishing with 15 points.

"I was more relaxed in the second half and came out very confident," Crockrom said. "The guards did a good job of getting me the ball."

Neither team shot well in the first half. Baylor hit 14 of 41 attempts for 34 percent, while the Bruins shot 29 percent.
