The Washington State Cougars women’s basketball team made history on Sunday, March 3rd, when they defeated the South Dakota State Jackrabbits to end their 16-game home win streak. The Cougars had been undefeated at home since December of 2018, and the streak was the longest in program history.
The game was a hard-fought battle between two talented teams, with the Cougars coming out on top in the end. Washington State was led by their star guard, Chanelle Molina, who scored a game-high 22 points and added 8 rebounds and 4 assists. She was supported by a strong defensive effort from the rest of the team, which held South Dakota State to just 34% shooting from the field.
The win was a huge milestone for the Cougars, who have been steadily improving over the past few years. They have now won four of their last five games, and are currently in second place in the Pac-12 standings. With the win, they have also secured a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014.
The Cougars will now look to carry their momentum into the postseason as they look to make a deep run in March Madness. With their strong defense and balanced scoring attack, they have all the tools necessary to make a run at a national championship.
The Washington State Cougars have made history with their impressive 16-game home win streak, and they will now look to continue their success in the NCAA Tournament. With their talented roster and strong coaching staff, the Cougars are poised to make some noise in March.
