Washington is coming off a 91-55 win against Arizona on Friday (Feb. 10). Senior Chantel Osahor, the nation's leading rebounder, registered a double-double in the game, upping her total to 21 on the season which also tops the NCAA. Senior Kelsey Plum, the nation's leading scorer, recorded a game-high 22 points to go along with seven assists and five rebounds. Freshman Aarion McDonald (13) and Natalie Romeo (13) also scored in double figures.
In the latest AP Top 25 poll, Washington remained at No. 10, joining four other Pac-12 schools: Stanford at No. 8, Oregon State at No. 9, UCLA at No. 15 and Arizona State at No. 23. The Huskies are ranked No. 8 in the latest RPI poll.
