TUCSON, Ariz. – The eighth-ranked Washington Huskies (17-2, 5-1 Pac-12) defeated the Arizona Wildcats (10-6, 1-4 Pac-12) by a score of 90-73 on Friday night in McKale Center. Washington's Kelsey Plum scored her 3,000th career point and is the 12th woman in NCAA history to achieve that feat.

"I'm really happy with the fight from my team," head coach Adia Barnes said. "I felt that we never gave up. At some points we were getting momentum, but then Kelsey Plum took over. That is just how good she is. I love the fact that we didn't give up and we fought the entire 40 minutes. We made some mistakes and we gave up some threes, but we had to pick our poison."
 
LaBrittney Jones had an outstanding night for the Wildcats as she scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. The last time a Wildcat had a 20/10 game was back on Dec. 12, 2014 when Candice Warthen scored 24 points and had 10 rebounds. This was Jones' second double-double of the season and the eighth of her career. After grabbing 11 rebounds, Jones is now 10th all-time in Arizona history with 605 career rebounds. 

Breanna Workman chipped in 12 points of her own while Malena Washington and Dejza James each scored 11 points.
 
Washington started out hot as can be as they scored 28 first-quarter points on the back of six made three-pointers. The Huskies would take a 28-14 lead into the second period.
 
The second quarter was closer as Washington only outscored Arizona 18-17 and went into halftime with a 46-31 lead over the Wildcats. Jones scored 13 first-half points and had five rebounds as well.
 
The Huskies extended their lead to 70-52 in the third quarter and would hold on in the fourth quarter despite Arizona winning the fourth period.

It'll be a quick turnaround for the Wildcats as they are set to host the Cougars of Washington State on Sunday at noon MST in McKale Center. The game will be aired on the Pac-12 Networks.
