• With the win, the Wildcats improved to 47-13-1 on the season while Washington dropped to 42-18.
• Sam Bannister's two-out, two-run double to center field marked the second time this season that one of her hits proved to be the game-winner against Washington. The sophomore first baseman blasted an eighth-inning walk-off home run on May 12 to upend the Huskies 5-4.
• Wildcat hurler Taryne Mowatt recorded her 17th shutout of the year in improving to 39-11.
• Mowatt gave up just four hits in the complete game effort. She has pitched all 29 innings for Arizona in this year's WCWS and has surrendered only 10 hits.
