BOULDER, Colo. -- The No. 10 University of Washington women's basketball team (21-3, 9-2) continues Pac-12 play on the road, traveling to Boulder to face Colorado on Sunday (Feb. 5). The game will air live on Pac-12 Networks with radio coverage on gohuskies.leanplayer.com.
Washington is coming off a 82-53 win against Utah in Salt Lake City on Friday (Feb. 3). Senior Kelsey Plum scored 24 points and handed out eight assists while senior Chantel Osahor accounted for her NCAA-leading 19th double-double of the season, finishing with 19 points and 20 rebounds. It was the sixth time this season Osahor grabbed 20 or more rebounds. Freshman Aarion McDonald also tallied 19 points.
In the latest AP Top 25 poll, Washington dropped three spots to No. 10, joining four other Pac-12 schools: Stanford at No. 8, Oregon State at No. 11, UCLA at No. 13 and Arizona State at No. 23.
Washington is ranked No. 10 in the latest RPI poll, joining Oregon State (No. 7), Stanford (No. 8), UCLA (No. 9), and Arizona State (No. 27) in the Top 30.
The Huskies are leading the nation in several categories, including 261 made three-pointers. Washington ranks third in three-point field goals per game (10.9), third in made free throws (381), fifth in points per game (86.4), fifth in scoring margin (24.9) and 10th in field goal percentage (47.2).

Osahor's 19 double-doubles this season also tops the NCAA and her 31 career double-doubles is second-most in program history. With 39 more points, Osahor will become just the second player in program history to record 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career.
