Washington Takes Down No. 11 USC On The Road
January 28, 2024 | Women's Basketball
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Washington women's basketball (13-6, 3-5 Pac-12) took down No. 11 USC (14-4, 4-4 Pac-12) 62-59 Sunday afternoon in the Galen Center.
"I thought we played with great toughness, togetherness, and joy today," head coach Tina Langley said. "This group is so much fun to coach. They are selfless and driven to be the best we can be. Lots to learn from this game as always, but I love our focus on the process and the growth we continue to show."
The Huskies took control of the game and led for all but 1:10, showing great energy and toughness to defeat USC for the first time since 2020 and first time on the road since 2017.
Going into halftime, UW had the 34-23 lead and was shooting 53.6% while holding USC to 33.3%.
USC closed the gap in the second half, and with 1.3 seconds left the Huskies were up by one. The Dawgs showed poise and sealed the win.
Lauren Schwartz led all scorers with a season high 21 points, also adding two blocks to her dominant day on the floor.
Dalayah Daniels was the other Husky in double-digit scoring with 12 points. She also recorded a game-leading and season-high 13 rebounds for her 16th career double-double and 12th as a Husky. Daniels had a block, her 35th of the season, to put her tied at No. 10 on the UW Top 10 for blocked shots in a season.
Elle Ladine added eight points and nine rebounds.
The Huskies out-rebounded the Trojans 39-24, and held USC to 37.3% - under their average season and conference field goal percentage – while shooting 46.0% on the game. USC had been averaging 34.3 rebounds per game and 64.0 points per game during conference play.
Up next, Washington is back at home to face No. 16 Utah on Friday, Feb. 2 and No. 3 Colorado on Sunday, Feb. 4.
