Borislava Hristova picked a good night to set a new career-high in points scored. The WSU junior scored 38 points and led the Cougars to a 79-76 win against the Huskies in Seattle.
Hristova scored the 38 points on just 24 shots from the field. WSU took the lead early in the first quarter and controlled most of the game. The Cougars led for nearly 35 minutes, building a lead as large as 16 points. The Huskies rallied multiple times late in the game, trimming the lead to one, but each time the Cougars had an answer.
Chanelle Molina, who chipped in 16 points, had the final answer for WSU, hitting this clutch three to squelch the Huskies’ final threat.
