Coach Tina Langley and the Washington Huskies women’s basketball team extended their winning streak to five straight games inside Alaska Airlines Arena on Tuesday night as they cruised to a 79-58 win over the Wisconsin Badgers.
After a slow start, which saw them trailing 17-11 at the end of the first quarter, the Huskies outscored the Badgers 20-8 in the second quarter and didn’t look back. Guard Elle Ladine led the way for Washington, pacing all scorers with 23 points on a 9-17 day from the field, adding 3 assists, 2 rebounds, a block, and a steal to her bottom line.
Forward Dalayah Daniels continued on a dominant run during her final season with 17 points and 11 rebounds, her third straight double-double and fourth of the season. The graduate student also played stellar defense, collecting 3 blocks and 3 steals.
Four of Washington’s five starters ended the night in double figures, with Sayvia Sellers and Tayra Eke adding 16 and 14 points respectively. The win pushed the Huskies up to 12-4 on the season and 3-1 in Big Ten play, while the Badgers fell to 10-6 on the season and just 1-4 in conference action.
Next up for the Huskies, they’ll hit the road for a matchup with the Michigan State Spartans in East Lansing on Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. PST.
