The Huskies hadn’t always been rewarded with a victory following a hard-fought performance.
Four weeks ago, Washington went to Los Angeles and went into overtime twice before losing by a combined eight points.
Friday night, the Huskies extracted a little bit of revenge against USC and claimed a 75-66 women’s basketball victory, which snapped a two-game skid.
Washington raced out early, controlled the game for 35 minutes and led by 12 points in the third quarter before holding off the Trojans at the end.
USC began the fourth quarter with an 11-6 run to cut its deficit to 61-58 with 4:07 remaining.
