Over the weekend, the Washington State Cougars enjoyed spending their Thanksgiving in the warm sun of Cancun, Mexico for the Cancun Challenge. A three-day, three-game tournament that put the Cougs against the Maryland Terrapins, UMass Minutemen and the Green Bay Phoenix.
While you were enjoying your morning coffee on Thanksgiving Thursday, Charlisse Leger-Walker and Bella Murekatete were already feasting on the Maryland Terrapins while making program history on the way. WSU drubbed Maryland after a rocky start, outscoring the Terps 67-36 in the final three quarters of play for the 87-67 victory. Leger-Walker dominated, recording her first career triple-double with career highs in rebounds (15) and assists (13) with 11 points in the scoring column.
