Game Summary
It took until the second half for he Huskies to establish themselves as the superior team.
As both teams literally matched each other’s ineptness for a very unsatisfactory first half for either side — other than the fact, San Francisco was the underdog and matched UW’s 19-point performance in the first half.
Washington shook off the rust and increased their energy in the second half.
1st Quarter
The first quarter featured woeful offense by both teams.
USF shot 30.8% overall and 33.3% from three=point range.
UW shot only 35.3% overall and 0.0% (0 for 5) from three-point range.
Washington’s Haley Van Dyke and Dalayah Daniels led the way with four points each in the first period.
