Will Cherry scored 18 points and Brian Qvale added 13 to lead Montana to a 66-57 victory over UCLA Sunday night in Pauley Pavilion.
The victory was the first for the Grizzlies over the Bruins in the five-game history between the two teams.
UCLA (3-4) was hopeful that returning home would help stop a losing streak, but instead lost its fourth in a row after winning their first three games of the season.
The Bruins were coming off a confidence-building, one-point loss at No. 4 Kansas, but weren't able to find their groove against the Grizzlies.
Montana (4-3) held the Bruins to 28 points in the first half by cutting off the inside pass and using a collapsing defense when UCLA was able to get the ball into the paint. They held the home-standing Bruins to just 22 percent shooting in the second half to account for the final margin.
