Husky women roll over Nevada

SEATTLE – Cameo Hicks had 17 points and Stephanie Clark had 16 to lead Washington to a 79-60 win over Nevada on Sunday.

Washington (5-4), fresh off a 65-59 home win Wednesday over No. 15 Texas A&M, hasn't lost a non-conference game at Bank of America Arena since a loss Dec. 21, 2004, against Colorado — a span of nine games.

Hicks was 8-of-12 with five assists and six rebounds. Clark was 6-of-9.

Brandi Fitzgerald had 17 points for Nevada (4-5), which started the season 3-0 but has lost five of its last six. Dellena Criner, Nevada's leading scorer this season at 16.2 points per game, was shut out for more than 20 minutes. She fouled out with 5:28 to go and had eight points on 3-of-9 shooting.

Washington led 14-2 and added a 14-4 run to close the first half — after Nevada had cut its deficit to five — to give the Huskies their largest lead at 41-26.

Washington's crisp passing from the top of the key and in transition led to 19 assists, while Nevada managed just one. The Wolfpack, who average 15 steals per game but had only eight on Sunday, had 26 turnovers.

The Huskies shot 47 percent while Nevada shot 37 percent.

Fitzgerald had Nevada's first eight points of the second half as the Wolfpack closed the gap to 11.

Washington's bench was assessed two technical fouls — one each to assistant coach Mike Daugherty and then his wife, coach June Daugherty — after being displeased with a double-dribble call. The Wolfpack got four points ouf of the deal, but the technicals sparked another Huskies' run — 13-0 — to give them their largest lead at 60-38 after Maggie O'Hara's fast-break pass to a streaking Cheri Craddock.
