January 22, 2023 | Women's Basketball
SEATTLE – Washington women's basketball (10-8, 2-6) took it down to the wire with USC (15-4, 5-3) Sunday afternoon in Alaska Airlines Arena, but lost 54-63 in overtime.
With seven seconds remaining in regulation, Lauren Schwartz sunk a three-pointer – her fourth of the game – to tie it up. Haley Van Dyke got a steal as USC tried to counter, and the clock expired, forcing overtime and igniting a fired-up crowd of Husky fans.
"First of all, I just want to thank our fans," head coach Tina Langley said. "They just keep showing up for us. I think they can see the growth of this team. They made the environment amazing today, so I just appreciate the chance to say thank you to them."
The Huskies showed great toughness and caused a lot of disruptions for USC, out-rebounding the Trojans 34-31 and forcing 20 turnovers against a team that had been averaging 14.4 per game in conference play.
In the first quarter, Dalayah Daniels already had eight points, going on to finish with a team-leading 17, and her highest scoring game in conference play. Daniels also finished with nine rebounds and three blocks.
Schwartz was the other Husky in double digit scoring, finishing with 16. Van Dyke added nine points and seven rebounds.
Up next for Washington, the Huskies hit the road to take on the Arizona schools. First up is a game at Arizona on Friday, Jan. 27 in Tucson, Ariz.
