SEATTLE -- The No. 15 University of Washington women's basketball team (4-1) begins a three-game road trip this weekend, traveling across town to Seattle U. on Saturday (Nov. 26) before heading south to play at Portland on Sunday (Nov. 27). The games will be streamed on wacsports.com and wccsports.com with radio coverage on gohuskies.leanplayer.com.
The Huskies are leading the nation in several categories including 67 made 3-pointers and 13.4 threes per game. Washington is 67-of-152 from three-point range this season, hitting at a .441 clip.

Washington is coming off a record-setting night against Idaho (Nov. 22).

The two teams also broke an NCAA record with a combined 97 three-point attempts in the game, shattering the old record of 86.
After a 4-1 start to the season, Washington moved up two spots to No. 15 in the latest AP Top 25 poll. Four other Pac-12 teams are also ranked: UCLA at No. 9, Stanford at No. 11, Oregon State at No. 22 and Arizona State at No. 23. In the USA Today Coaches Poll, the Huskies are ranked No. 13.
