The Huskies (11-1, 1-0 Pac-12) controlled the first two sets before Washington State (11-2, 0-1 Pac-12) grabbed the third. A back-and-forth fourth set had 11 ties and six lead changes before the Huskies won four of the final five points, with three kills from senior Courtney Schwan, to finish the job.
