SAN DIEGO — Amber Melgoza scored 17 points while Missy Peterson had 14 as the Washington women’s basketball team cruised past San Diego 65-47 in a nonconference game Sunday afternoon at Jenny Craig Pavilion.
Washington (7-2) looked solid on both sides of the court, but it was the defense that again looked impressive. The Huskies held San Diego (5-5) to just 28.6% shooting in the game and forced 25 turnovers while recording 17 steals. Eight different Washington players recorded at least one steal with Melgoza gathering five.
Melgoza was efficient in her 24 minutes of play, hitting 6 of 8 from the field, including 2 of 3 from beyond the arc.
