SEATTLE – After a back-and-forth battle that saw nine lead changes, the Washington women's basketball team (7-4, 0-1 Big Ten) fell 67-57 to Utah (9-2, 0-0 Big 12) inside Alaska Airlines Arena Saturday night.
Â
Sellers led the offensive charge for the Dawgs in dominant fashion, recording the first 30-point game of her career on an efficient 50 percent shooting (11-for-22). She also added a career-high eight rebounds to go along with two assists, two steals, and a block.
Â
The sophomore was the first UW player to score 30+ since Amber Melgoza did it in the 2019-20 season (35).
Â
Tayra Eke notched a season-high 14 points, including the first six points of the game for the Huskies, to go along with a game-high nine rebounds, and a team-high three assists.
Â
The Dawgs outrebounded the Utes 37-32, the eighth time this season Washington has collected more than opponents on the glass.
Washington held Utah to 11 points in the opening frame and outscored the Utes 21-9 in the third quarter, holding a Utah team that entered tonight's game averaging 82.8 points per game, to 67.
Washington will host the Husky Classic next week before a brief break for the holidays – welcoming North Dakota State, Furman, and Boise State for the two-day tournament.
Â
The Huskies will face North Dakota State on Wednesday, December 18 at 2 p.m. in Alaska Airlines Arena and then Furman on Thursday at 2 p.m.
Â
The tournament will feature two neutral games at noon each day – Boise State versus Furman on Wednesday and Boise State versus North Dakota State Thursday.
Â
Tickets purchased for the UW games of the Husky Classic will also give fans access to the neutral game that day.
