Β ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS | |
| With her win over UCF, Taran Alvelo became the eighth Husky ever to win 80+ games in their career. Alvelo joined Danielle Lawrie, Jennifer Spediacci, Tia Bollinger, Jamie Graves, Ashley Boek, Kaitlin Inglesby, and Stephanie Burns as Washington's 80-game winners. | ||

Β MORE LIKE BATLEE | |
| Taryn Atlee extended her season-long hit streak to nine games this last weekend. The junior had a four-game streak of multi-hit games. Along with shortstop Sis Bates, Washington's middle infield now has nine multi-hit games through the first nine games. | ||

|
Β PERFECTION AT THE PLATE | |
| Kaija Gibson has recorded a hit in five consecutive at-bats, following a perfect 2-for-2 game against UCF with a 3-for-3 game against NDSU. Gibson had never had a multi-hit game as a Husky before these two games. Sis Bates was the last Husky to hit safely in so many at-bats, recording hits in six straight at-bats February 10-16 of 2018, against Western Illinois, Bradley, and Northern Colorado. | ||

|
Β YOU CAN'T SPELL RBI WITHOUT FLORES... SOMEHOW | |
| Morganne Flores is on a five-game RBI streak and has at least one RBI in six of her seven games this year. Flores has driven in eight RBI over that five-game stretch and has two home runs. She needs one more home run to move into the top 20 in Washington history. She is one of 12 players in the Pac-12 with double-digit RBI already: none of those 12 players have played fewer games than Flores and only one other has played fewer than nine games. | ||
