Sophomore guard Avery Howell and the No. 24 ranked Washington Huskies women's basketball team secured a thrilling 91-86 overtime victory against the Wisconsin Badgers at the Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle on Sunday. The hard-fought win was fueled by Howell’s career-best performance, as the Huskies sought to maintain their national ranking and momentum in a highly competitive non-conference matchup. The victory underscores Washington's resilience under pressure as they fended off a persistent Wisconsin squad that pushed the game beyond regulation time. Howell, a 6-foot standout, dominated the court by recording 34 points and 14 rebounds, marking her sixth double-double of the current season. Her ability to control the glass and provide consistent scoring in the paint and from the perimeter proved to be the deciding factor for the Huskies. Supporting Howell's explosive performance was teammate Sayvia Sellers, who contributed 23 points of her own, providing a critical secondary scoring threat that kept the Wisconsin defense off balance throughout the afternoon. The game was a back-and-forth affair that saw Wisconsin fight back repeatedly to keep the score within reach, eventually forcing the five-minute overtime period. Despite the Badgers' offensive efforts, Washington’s execution in the closing minutes of extra time allowed them to pull away. This performance solidifies Washington's position in the Top 25 rankings and highlights Howell as one of the rising stars in collegiate basketball, as she continues to lead the team in multiple statistical categories.
