Huskies Complete Road Sweep, Defeat Gophers In Regular Season Road Finale
February 26, 2025 | Women's Basketball
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The Washington women's basketball team (17-12, 8-9 Big Ten) rounded out its regular season road schedule with back-to-back wins, taking down Minnesota 72-62 inside Williams Arena Wednesday night.
Wednesday night marked the fifth all-time win over the Gophers (20-9, 8-9 Big Ten) in six overall meetings, as the Huskies handed the home team its fourth loss of the year inside Williams Arena.
Elle Ladine led all scorers with 26, her third straight 25+ point game. She did it on 10-of-13 shooting (76.9%) and a perfect 4-for-4 from three-point range. She added five rebounds and two assists.
Three Huskies joined Ladine in double-digits, including Dalayah Daniels who recorded her second consecutive double-double (26th career), with 14 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals.
Sayvia Sellers and Hannah Stines each added 11 and Devin Coppinger added six points off the bench.
The Dawgs went down early, with the Gophers leading 17-10 at the end of the first. The Husky offense got going in the subsequent two frames, spearheaded by an 83.3 percent mark during the second (10-of-12) to tie things up 33-33 at the half.
Ladine and Coppinger combined for 13 of the Huskies' 23 points in the second quarter as Washington outscored the Gophers 23-16.
UW went on a 7-0 run while holding the Gophers scoreless the final 2 minutes and 32 seconds of the half.
Washington held Minnesota to 11 third quarter points while registering 24 of its own, connecting on 10-of-14 shots (71.4%). Hannah Stines hit a three-pointer from the mid-court logo to beat the quarter buzzer and lead the Dawgs into the final 10 minutes of play.
The Gophers heated up late in the fourth with a 14-2 run, cutting a double-digit Husky lead to five before Ladine hit a three-pointer to extend the game to 68-60 and seal the deal.
Over the last two road wins, Ladine averaged 27.0 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 67.7 percent (21-for-31) from the field and 61.5 percent (8-for-13) from behind the arc.
Daniels has averaged 17.5 points and 10.0 rebounds over the two-game span on 59.3 percent shooting.
On this road trip, the Huskies recorded a 56.1 field-goal percentage and 43.1 percent from distance.
Washington returns to Alaska Airlines Arena for its final regular season game on Sunday, March 2 for Senior Day. The Huskies will get a second go-around against Oregon as they recognize Husky seniors Daniels, Tayra Eke, and Brenna McDonald.
Tipoff on Sunday is set for 2 p.m. on B1G+. Fans are encouraged to get to the arena early for pregame senior day festivities.
