LOS ANGELES (AP) — JuJu Watkins reached 1,000 career points in the second-fewest games in NCAA Division I history, scoring 20 points as No. 3 Southern California rolled to an 81-50 victory over Santa Clara. Kiki Iriafen added 20 points for the Trojans, who never trailed. Playing in her 38th game, Watkins needed 16 points to reach 1,000. She got there when she hit a jumper with 6:47 remaining in the third quarter. Maree Jackson, Carol Menken and Sandra Hodge reached 1,000 points in 37 games. It took Caitlin Clark 40 games to get there.
