Montana at Washington
SEATTLE (Interstat) — The Washington Huskies look to build on a dominant season-opening win when they host the Montana Lady Griz in a nonconference women’s basketball game Monday at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.
Washington (1-0) began its season with a 90-43 rout of Seattle on Nov. 3. The Huskies’ offense was firing on all cylinders, and they will be well-rested after a week off.
Montana (1-1) is coming off a 90-47 road loss to Oregon on Saturday. The Lady Griz opened their season with an 81-44 victory over Division II Seattle Pacific on Nov. 4.
The Huskies’ backcourt of Sayvia Sellers, who scored 21 points with six assists against Seattle, and Hannah Stines, who added seven points and five assists, will be a primary challenge for the Lady Griz. Forward Avery Howell also impressed in the opener with 18 points.
This game begins a tough stretch for Montana, which will face South Dakota State, BYU and Utah in three of its next four games. Washington will hit the road for its next contest, a Saturday matchup at Utah.
