It’s heartwarming to see Nina Westbrook’s enduring connection to UCLA, where she spent pivotal years as part of the women’s basketball program. Her pride in the Bruins’ upset victory over South Carolina highlights her unwavering support for her alma mater. The win is particularly significant, ending South Carolina’s incredible 43-game streak and showing the strength of the current UCLA roster led by Londynn Jones, Gabriela Jaquez, and others.
Nina’s basketball journey at UCLA, while not as decorated as her husband Russell’s, showcases her dedication to the sport and her team. Her transition into a career as a licensed marriage and family therapist and her work with “The Little Ark” also reflect her multifaceted talents and continued commitment to helping others.
Moments like these reinforce the tight-knit bond between former players and their schools, especially when celebrated through milestones like this historic win. It’s a proud moment not just for Nina but for the entire UCLA basketball community.
