UC San Diego at Washington

SEATTLE (Interstat) — An undefeated Washington women’s basketball team looks to continue its dominant start to the season when it hosts a UC San Diego squad riding a two-game winning streak on Friday at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.

The Huskies (6-0) have won every game by at least 18 points, including a 66-40 victory over Southern on Tuesday. Freshman Avery Howell led the way with 18 points, while Brynn McGaughy added 14 points and three blocks. Washington’s early success also features a notable 72-61 road win at Utah.

The Tritons (3-3) have found their rhythm after a three-game skid, winning their last two contests at home by sizable margins. They are coming off an 87-39 rout of Occidental on Monday, where Sabrina Ma scored 22 points and Erin Condron added 17. Rosa Smith facilitated the offense with eight assists.

Friday’s game presents a significant challenge for UC San Diego, which is 0-2 on the road this season. Washington has proven to be a formidable force on its home court, outscoring opponents by an average of over 30 points in Seattle.

The matchup is the first-ever meeting between the two programs. Following this contest, Washington will host San Jose State on Monday, while UC San Diego travels to face Portland State on Sunday.
