Washington has had some close calls against lowly ranked opponents over the first month of the season. In Palm Springs though the Huskies were able to overcome their biggest test of the year so far and defeated Colorado State and Santa Clara in consecutive days to take home an Acrisure Invitational title and improve to 6-1 overall.
Yesterday, Washington used a 13-0 run in the opening months to take the lead but it quickly melted away and became a back and forth affair against CSU. The Rams went into halftime with a 28-26 lead but both squads were more effective on offense in the second half.
