Washington played a close one against their cross-city foes last season and unfortunately this one was tighter than expected yet again. The Dawgs held a double digit lead in each half but the Seattle Redhawks were within 2 points with under 2 minutes to play before UW hit their free throws late and held on by a score of 70-62.
Seattle has been one of the best shooting teams in the country early in this season and they demonstrated why right off the bat as the Redhawks hit a pair of 3’s over Hamer Wright in the first 2 minutes.
