The Huskies had 10 different players in the scoring column and as a team, shot 54.0 percent (34-for-63) from the floor, while holding EWU to 32.8 percent (20-for-61). Washington also held a 39-35 advantage on the boards.
Sophomore Hannah Johnson and freshman Mai-Loni Henson also enjoyed strong outings. Johnson finished with a career-high 10 points and career-high seven rebounds, while Henson rounded out the double-digit scoring efforts with 12 to go along with three boards in her debut.
After leading by just one with 3:21 remaining in the first, Washington went on a 12-5 run and lead 22-14 after 10 minutes of play.
