UCLA's historic 2026 season just added another monumental chapter. Fresh off capturing the program's first NCAA national championship, the Bruins have now made WNBA history.

In an unprecedented display of talent, all six UCLA seniors who attended the 2026 WNBA Draft in New York heard their names called by Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. This marks the first time a single school has produced six draft selections, setting a new WNBA record.

The historic haul was headlined by five first-round picks, another league record. Center Lauren Betts, the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player, led the charge as the fourth overall selection by the Washington Mystics. Betts, who averaged 17.1 points and 8.5 rebounds, brings a dominant post presence to a Mystics team already adding significant talent.

Immediately following Betts, Gabriela Jaquez made a stunning leap up draft boards, selected fifth overall. The Bruins' iconic run from champions to record-setting draft class cements their legacy as a true powerhouse, developing elite talent ready to shine at the professional level.
