Last night at Alaska Airlines Arena, the very limited list of numbers that will never be worn again by a Husky gained a new member. Vansant, an outside hitter from 2011-2014 who won multiple national player of the year awards and is the career leader in kills as a Husky, was honored in a pregame ceremony in front of a crowd of 3,358.
With Vansant watching with her family from just behind the Husky bench, #13 Washington (20-6, 10-5 Pac-12) played inspired volleyball against a Stanford team that had blown through the entire Pac-12 to this point, prevailing in 4 sets (25-23, 19-25, 25-23, 25-17).
