Washington State women reach WNIT Final Four

The Washington State women’s basketball team punched its ticket to the Women’s National Invitational Tournament Final Four with a hard-fought, 74-66 win at Iowa on Sunday afternoon.

The Cougars (16-19) continued their historic postseason run with their fourth straight victory, their longest streak of the season, while handing the Hawkeyes (20-14) just their fourth loss in 21 games at home at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Washington State plays Wednesday at Georgia Tech at 4 p.m. Pacific time.

The Cougars were led by guards Alexys Swedlund, who scored a game-high 20 points while the junior duo of Pinelopi Pavlopoulou and Caila Hailey put together double-double performances.
