No. 7 Washington Falls To No. 10 Stanford, 72-68
January 29, 2017 | Women's Basketball
SEATTLE -- No. 10 Stanford rallied from an 18-point first-half deficit to beat the No. 7 University of Washington women's basketball team 72-68 on Sunday night in front of an historic crowd of 10,000 at Alaska Airlines Arena. It was the first sellout in program history and shattered the previous record of 8,408 in 2003.
Senior Kelsey Plum matched a season-high with 44 points for the fourth time this season, one short of her career-high, before fouling out in the closing seconds. She drained a career-high seven three-pointers in the game going 7-of-8 from distance. Plum, who also pulled down six boards, made 17-of-27 shots.
Plum was unstoppable in the second-quarter, scoring 18 consecutive points. She made 7-of-9 shots and all four three-point attempts during the period as Washington stretched its lead to as many as 18.
Senior Chantel Osahor pulled down a game-high 17 rebounds to go along with nine points in the contest.
As a team, Washington shot 35.9 percent (23-of-64) from the floor to Stanford's 43.3 percent (26-of-60). The Huskies held a 43-37 advantage on the glass.
Washington led 45-33 at the break, but Stanford, who put four in double-figures, outscored the Huskies 39-23 in the second half.
The Cardinal hit a pair of three-pointers late in the third quarter before scoring the first five points of the fourth to pull even at 55-55 with nine minutes left. Stanford took its first lead since the first bucket of the game with 8:27 left before the teams exchanged the lead four more times into the closing minutes.
With the game locked 62-62, Plum drained her seventh three and Washington went ahead 66-62, but Stanford answered, scoring seven straight points, highlighted by a steal and layup for a 68-66 lead with 1:17 remaining. Stanford made 4-of-6 free throws in the closing minute.
Washington, who made 11 three-pointers in the first half, hit just one from distance in the second. Stanford made five in the second half after going just 1-of-11 from behind the arc in the first.
Up next, the Huskies hit the road to play at Utah on Friday (Feb. 3) and at Colorado on Sunday (Feb. 5).
