STANFORD, Calif. – Once Kiana Williams and Stanford found a rhythm after halftime and began taking better care of the ball, the Washington women’s basketball team could no longer keep up.
Williams keyed a decisive stretch late in the third quarter with three quick baskets to finish with 20 points and nine assists, leading No. 5 Stanford to a 77-56 victory over the Huskies on Sunday.
UW (10-4 overall, 2-1 Pac-12) was tied with the Cardinal at halftime before being outscored 45-24 in the second half.
The Huskies opened conference play with three road games and won the first two, over California on Friday and over Washington State on Dec.
