The University of Washington Huskies Women’s Basketball team has been on a roll this season, going undefeated in their first nine games. Now, they face their first major test of the season as they take on the No. 24 ranked Washington State Cougars.
The Huskies have been led by their star guard Amber Melgoza, who is averaging 20.2 points per game and is shooting an impressive 46.7 percent from three-point range. She has been the driving force behind the Huskies’ success this season, and will need to continue her stellar play if the Huskies are to come away with a win against the Cougars.
The Cougars have also been impressive this season, going 8-2 in their first ten games. They are led by their own star guard, Borislava Hristova, who is averaging 19.4 points per game and is shooting an impressive 45.7 percent from three-point range. The Huskies will need to contain her if they are to come away with a win.
The Huskies and Cougars have faced off twice before this season, with the Huskies coming away with a win both times. However, this time around the stakes are much higher, as the winner will have bragging rights in the state of Washington for the rest of the season.
The game will be played at the University of Washington’s Alaska Airlines Arena on Thursday night, and is sure to be an exciting matchup between two of the best teams in the Pac-12 conference. It will be a great test for both teams, and will be a great way to see which team is truly the best in the state of Washington.
