Husky women snap nine-game losing streak with win over Colorado

Finally, a reason to celebrate for the Washington women’s basketball team.

After nine straight losses, including three in overtime, the Huskies wilted against Colorado but they didn’t break.

That was something to savor after the Huskies held off the Buffalos for a 61-52 victory Sunday afternoon at Alaska Airlines Arena.

“I am just so happy for the ladies who have been working so hard to finally be rewarded with a W,” said UW coach Jody Wynn. “Sometimes it’s discouraging when they work really hard like they have, and they play with the kind of effort they have been playing with, but the performance not always matching the effort.
