Washington Drops Road Contest To Colorado
February 06, 2022 | Women's Basketball
BOULDER, Colo. – The Washington women's basketball team wrapped up its weekend road trip on Sunday against Colorado.
The Huskies led after the first quarter and were tied at halftime but would ultimately fall by a score of 66-43.
Washington opened the game with a balanced offensive effort that saw five different players score its first five field goals. It was Nancy Mulkey who opened the scoring with a jumpshot.
Darcy Rees and Alexis Whitfield would give the Huskies production off the bench, with each of them scoring a layup to help UW grab a 15-13 lead after 10 minutes of play.
Mulkey got right back to work in the second quarter, scoring UW's first points of the period with a layup and adding a free throw. With 14 seconds left, Haley Van Dyke would sink two free throws to tie the game at 23-23 heading into the locker room.
It was another strong defensive half for the Huskies, who held Colorado to just 32% shooting from the field and 22.2% from three-point range. The Buffaloes also had just four assists in the half.
The strong offensive output for Mulkey continued in the third quarter, as she added another 6 points on 2-2 shooting from the field while making both of her free throws. She would not miss a shot in the second half, finishing with 11 points in the half and 16 in the game.
When the final horn sounded, Colorado would walk away with the victory. The Huskies were in the fight the whole way, until the Buffaloes caught fire late in the fourth quarter to pull away.
As a team, Washington out-rebounded Colorado 35-30 and has now out-rebounded its opponents in five of the last six games.
Haley Van Dyke grabbed 10 rebounds for her fifth game of the season with double-digit boards.
Washington returns to action on Friday night at Alaska Airlines Arena to take on USC.
