Published April 9, 2026 · Updated April 9, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Head coach Cori Close led the UCLA Bruins in celebrating their 2026 NCAA championship by bringing the trophy home to Pauley Pavilion on Wednesday.

Head coach Cori Close emphasized that the victory was a collective effort, citing John Wooden’s philosophy that success should benefit the "baker, the banker, and the community." The team honored the "village" that supported their journey.

Confetti filled Pauley Pavilion during the celebration, where former legends Denise Curry and Ann Meyers—members of the last UCLA title team in 1978—sent video messages to the current squad.
