Feb. 26, 2004
Senior guard Giuliana Mendiola moved past Rhonda Smith on the University of Washington all-time scoring list. Mendiola's 31 points gave her 1,805 in her career, four more than Smith. It also set a new season high for the senior. Mendiola has scored at least 22 points in six of her last seven games and has also scored 20 points or more in 15 games this season.
Helping Mendiola reach her season high point total was 16-20 shooting from the free throw line. Both the amount of free throws made and attempted are new career highs for Mendiola.
Mendiola also recorded four assists, a team best. Mendiola has at least shared the lead for team rebounds in every game so far this season. Her season high of 10 came against Oklahoma State.
Washington's leading rebounder on the season came down with 13, 11 of which came in the second half of play. It was the sixth time Bell has pulled down double-digit rebounds in a game this season. It was also the second consecutive game Bell has led the Huskies in rebounds.
Andrea Lalum's 15-point performance translates to having scored in double-digits in all but four games this season. Lalum has now scored 1,375 points in her Husky career, good enough for 11th on the all-time scoring list.
Freshman Cameo Hicks scored the first four points of the game for the Huskies with the first two coming off of an acrobatic fast break lay-in following the tip-off. Hicks scored the Dawgs first seven points, six from lay-ups and the last from a free throw. She finished with nine points in the game.
With the win, Washington has now defeated Arizona State 15 out of 18 times in Montlake. It also extends the Huskies winning streak at home against the Sun Devils to seven games. ASU has not beat Washington in Seattle since February 3, 1996 (81-77).
Arizona State was led in scoring by their third-leading scorer on the season, Kylan Loney. Loney scored 12, the only player in double figures for the Devils.
Arizona State out fouled Washington 29 to 18, a difference of eleven fouls that transferred to 21 more free throw shots for the Huskies. Washington shot 25-35 from the line while ASU was 13-14, a difference of 12 points.
