The Washington women's basketball team plays California tough before falling at the end, 71-65.
The passion, fight and intensity that Washington women’s basketball coach Jody Wynn has been looking for all season was on display Friday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.
After playing one of their better and more entertaining halves of the season, the Huskies went cold in the third quarter. California took advantage, building a big enough lead to hold off a spirited UW rally for a 71-65 victory.
Washington fell to 9-19 overall and to 2-14 in the Pac-12. But UW, coming off a 60-46 win at Colorado, seemed excited to play and figuratively punched back just as Wynn has been imploring them to do.
