SEATTLE — The Washington women's basketball team (2-0, 0-0 Big Ten) dominated the glass against Montana (1-2, 0-0 Big Sky) in an 87-56 win Monday night in Alaska Airlines Arena.
The Huskies collected 60 rebounds to the Lady Griz' 23, which turned into 16 second chance points and 50 points in the paint. The plus 37 rebounding margin for Washington was the most in a game since it faced Idaho on Nov. 11, 2016 (38). The Huskies' rebounding total was also their most since Nov. 9, 2023 against NC Central, when it collected 62 boards.
Washington was exceptional at dishing out the ball Monday night, recording an assist on over half their shots (17). Junior guard Sayvia Sellers led the team with five assists.
Sellers continued her scoring barrage to start the season, knocking down 8 of her 13 shots for 19 points.
In the first half, Washington shot 50 percent from the field to jump out to an early 42 to 19 advantage. Freshman forward Brynn McGaughy was already in double-digits before the break, using a tough and-one to get to 10 points. Senior center Yulia Grabovskaia was the third Husky to score in double-figures Monday night, converting on six of her seven shots for 14 points.
Grabovskaia came up just shy of a double-double, collecting eight rebounds to complement her double-digit point total. Sophomore guard Avery Howell tied the team lead with eight rebounds. Junior forward Olivia Anderson notched two blocks, while senior forward Shayla Gillmer, sophomore guard Devin Coppinger, McGaughy, and Grabovskaia each recorded a steal.
