SEATTLE – The #5 Washington Huskies lost 15-6 to the #1 UCLA Bruins Sunday. Madison Huskey had a big day at the plate for Washington, driving in a career-best three runs and hitting her first career home run.

Sis Bates reached base in all three of her trips to the plate, reaching via catcher's interference in the first and doubling later in the game, as well as drawing a walk. Morganne Flores homered in the game as well, driving in two with a blast to leftfield in the fifth.

Taran Alvelo struck out 11 in the game, her 22^nd double-digit strikeout game in her career. That puts Alvelo alone in second place in Washington history, behind only Danielle Lawrie.

B3 | GOODBYE! Huskey goes yard for her first career homer!
