After a week-long break, Penn State returned to the Bryce Jordan Center to take on Washington for the first time this season.
Washington’s efficient shooting night held Penn State off all night as the Huskies defeated the Lady Lions 82-71.
Gracie Merkle picked up where she left off the previous game, with an easy layup off an inbounds to get the scoring going for the Lady Lions.
Washington pushed the pace early, splitting between made baskets and turnovers, and Penn State took an 8-7 lead four minutes into the first quarter. Following Moriah Murray’s first 3-pointer of the game, Penn State entered full-court pressure to push the pace further.
