Kiki Rice is defining excellence one point at a time, and now, she's hit a new milestone.

Following a win to Ohio State, Rice has reached the 1500+ career points (1512 to be exact) in her senior season with the Bruins.

The UCLA Bruins Instagram page celebrated this achievement with a post captioned "Welcome to the 1500 point club, Ms. Rice."

Already recognized as the No. 1 guard for UCLA, Kiki Rice is one of the most complete players in the game with a 35.5 three-point percentage this NCAA season.

This season alone, she is posting 15.3 points per game, starting 12 of the 13 games played so far. She's also shooting 48.3 percent from the field

Through 118 career games, she has averaged 12.8 points, 4.1 assists, and 4.8 rebounds. She led the conference in free throw rate in 2023-24 with a 87.6% and total assists (170) in her junior year

Kiki Rice showed her skill against Ohio

As UCLA extended its five game streak with a win against the Buckeyes, Rice was right in the middle of the action.

She racked up 16 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, and only 2 turnovers in her second conference game this season against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

It was capped off with a stunning moment just when the buzzer rang. Having previously failed to block T'yana Todd's three-point attempt, Rice managed to sink a three-pointer of her own from beyond the half-court line, ending a 82-75 game.
