MADISON, Wis. (AP) --- Avery Howell had a career-high 34 points and 14 rebounds
--- the 6-foot sophomore's sixth double-double this season --- and Sayvia
Sellers scored 23 points to help No. 24 Washington beat Wisconsin 91-86 in
overtime on Sunday.
Howell scored eight points in OT, including two of her career-high tying six
3-pointers. Elle Ladine finished with 16 points for Washington (18-6, 8-5 Big
Ten). The Huskies had lost back-to-back games for just the second time this
season.
Destiny Howell hit five 3-pointers and finished with 28 points for the Badgers.
Gift Uchenna had 24 points, 12 rebounds, three steals and three blocks. Laci
Steele added 10 points and Ronnie Porter tied her season high with 10 assists
to go with eight points and six steals.
Destiny Howell made a 3-pointer and, after Brynn McGaughy hit two free throws
on the other end, was fouled as she hit another and the and-1 free throw gave
the Badgers a one-point lead with 1:09 to play. Avery Howell answered with a
putback off a miss by McGaughy that made it 87-86 with 43 seconds left.
Wisconsin (13-11, 5-8), which has lost four straight, went 0 for 3 from the
field --- all 3-point shots by Destiny Howell --- from there.
The Badgers closed the third quarter with an 11-0 run and scored eight --- all
by Uchenna --- of the first 11 in the fourth to take a six-point lead with 6:09
left in regulation. The Huskies scored nine --- five by Sellers and four by
Howell --- of the next 12 to make it 71-all with 3:40 remaining.
