Washington State women’s basketball concluded their trip to Hawaii on Monday with an afternoon matchup against Troy. Led by 22-points from Bella Murekatete, the Cougs downed the Trojans 87-72 to give them their fourth win of the season and the North Shore Showdown title.
All three teams that played in the showcase finished at 1-1 but due to the Cougs having a higher margin of victory, the trophy will be returning with them back to Pullman. Charlisse Leger-Walker was also named the MVP of the showcase and will be bringing home that hardware as well. Murekatete was named to the Showcase All-Star team after her two performances.
