Oklahoma faces challenge playing Washington in Seattle

Vionise Pierre-Louis nearly pulled off a rare triple-double Saturday with 17 points, nine rebounds and nine blocked shots.

"The ball just literally came to my hand," the Oklahoma center said. "It was just a reaction. I didn't think before the game I would have that many blocks."

If the 6-foot-4 Pierre-Louis can generate an encore or close to it Monday night when the sixth-seeded Sooners take on third-seeded Washington in the second round of the NCAA Women's Tournament at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle, she could help engineer an upset and a trip home.

At stake is a spot in Friday's Oklahoma City Regional semifinals, just a 3-point shot away from the Oklahoma campus in Norman.
