The University of Washington Huskies Women’s Basketball team had a huge win on Sunday, December 8th, when they defeated the Air Force Falcons and former coach Chris Gobrecht in Honolulu. The Huskies were able to come away with a decisive victory, winning by a score of 68-56.
The Huskies were led by their star guard Amber Melgoza, who scored a game-high 23 points. She was supported by her teammates, who all contributed to the win. The Huskies’ defense was also key, as they held the Falcons to just 56 points.
This was an especially meaningful win for the Huskies, as it was against their former coach Chris Gobrecht. Coach Gobrecht had been at the helm of the Huskies for five years before leaving in 2018. He had led the team to two NCAA tournament appearances and had helped develop many of the players who are currently on the team.
The win was also especially meaningful for the Huskies because it was in Honolulu. The team had traveled to Hawaii for a tournament, and this was their first game in the tournament. It was a great way to start off the tournament, and the team will be looking to build on this success as they continue in the tournament.
The Huskies have been playing well all season, and this win is just another example of that. They have a lot of talent on their roster, and they are looking to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament this year. This win against Air Force and their former coach Chris Gobrecht is a great sign that they are on the right track.
The Huskies will look to continue their winning ways as they take on their next opponent in the tournament. With a win like this, they have shown that they have what it takes to compete with some of the best teams in the country.
