SEATTLE (AP) - Megan Franza scored 21 points and Loree Payne added 19 as Washington overcame 16 Stanford 3-pointers to beat the Cardinal 95-87 on Saturday afternoon.
The Huskies made 16-of-20 free throws in the final two minutes to seal the victory.
Andrea Lalum scored 18 points for Washington (18-7, 11-4 Pac-10), while LeAnn Sheets and Giuliana Mendiola both added double-doubles for the Huskies. Sheets had 12 points and 13 rebounds while Mendiola added 11 points and 12 rebounds.
Stanford's Lindsey Yamasaki scored a career-high 34 points and tied a Pac-10 record with nine 3-pointers.
Nicole Powell scored 19 points, including five 3-pointers, and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Cardinal (15-9, 9-5), whose 16 3-pointers tied a conference record set by Washington earlier this season.
Franza, Payne and Lalum each had two of Washington's nine 3-pointers.
Washington has won seven of its last eight games.
The Huskies trailed 62-54 with 12 minutes remaining in the game when Franza scored seven points during a 13-2 run that gave Washington its first lead of the second half at 67-64 with 8:29 remaining.
There were three more lead changes before the Huskies took the lead for good on a Mendiola free throw that put Washington up 74-73 with 3:39 remaining.
Washington coach June Daugherty won her 200th career game. She is in her fifth season coaching Washington after seven seasons coaching at Boise State.
The loss stopped Stanford's four-game road winning streak.
