Washington Huskies Weekly Update

Go Beavers!!! No I'm not an Oregon State fan but this week I am, for if the Beavers can beat UCLA in Pauley Pavilion on Thursday then the Huskies will wrap up the Pac-10 regular season title. If not then the Huskies will have to wait until Saturday when they play the Washington State Cougars.

The Huskies are in control of their own destiny after handling things at home this past week. On Thursday the Dawgs beat Arizona State in a heart stopper 73-70 in overtime. Jon Brockman again came through big in this game scoring 21 points. Justin Dentmon came through big in overtime scoring 6 of the 16 points he scored on the night.

Saturday the Huskies beat the Arizona Wildcats 83-78 after being down by 10 in the second half. Brockman and Isaiah Thomas both scored 19 points in leading Washington to victory. Also aiding in the Huskies victory was solid free throw shooting down the stretch, the Dawgs converted 10 of 12 from the line. If not for the poor free throw shooting earlier in the game (9 for 23) the Huskies might have won even more convincingly.

This week the Huskies have their last two regular season games of the season, both at home, when they take on Seattle University on Tuesday and Washington State on Saturday.

In other UW news the softball team is now 17-0 and number 1 in the country after beating Portland State 8-2 on Sunday. The Washington Huskies were led again by Danielle Lawrie who is now 12-0 and is currently working on 66.1 consecutive scoreless innings pitched. Ashley Charters continued her stealing ways when swiped 3 more bases which leaves her 3 short of the career UW record for stolen bases in a career.

Go Dawgs!!!
