Seattle University Preview
The Seattle University roster is somewhat of a mystery due to nine new players on Seattle’s roster; and only two returning players.
Returning 5’6 senior guard Julianna Walker should be the Redhawks’ primary outside shooting threat — she shot 41.1% from three-point range last season
Taisiya Kozlova, a 6’1″ guard, transferred from Dayton after a stint at Maryland, but saw limited action at both stops
Sheridan Liggett, a 5’9″ redshirt sophomore guard, may be a catalyst on offense and defense for the Redhawks.
To secure the victory over Seattle, the UW Huskies will need to:
(1) Push tempo to score in transition and take advantage of their roster depth and guard heavy lineup;
(2) efficiently execute the Huskies offense by limiting turnovers to 10 or less.
(3) dominate the Redhawks with inside-the-paint scoring by the Huskies, with a target of 30 or more points-in-the-paint total (at least 10 of those points by Dalayah Daniels with strong contributions from both 6’3″ transfers, Eke and McDonald.).
A home victory over Seattle by the Washington Huskies may be expected but the Dawgs also should dominate with a victory of 10 or more points.
