The Washington State Cougars women’s basketball team rallied back from as much as 15 down to stun the San Francisco Dons, 69-63. It’s the fourth-largest comeback in program history.
A slow start for WSU (2-0) put the Cougars in a 15-point hole to climb out of entering the second half. Thanks to a 13-point third quarter from Charlisse Leger-Walker — who scored a career-high 35 points overall — the Cougars were able to close the gap to eight going into the fourth. The Cougars mounted a 21-2 run to open the fourth, jumping out to a lead as high as 10, and never looked back.
