PULLMAN, Wash. — Freshman Chanelle Molina could feel the confidence growing as Washington State hung with No. 9 UCLA on Friday night.
Molina, a 2016 Konawaeana graduate, scored a career-high 33 points and Washington State upset UCLA 82-73, one of the biggest victories in program history.
“Every defensive stop and every basket we made gave us adrenaline to keep playing,” Molina said. “This is my first 30-point game of my career and it came against a really good team.”
The guard made 13 of 20 shots and added seven assists and five rebounds.
“She’s blessed with so much athleticism and talent,” Washington State coach June Daugherty said.
