Needing to foul, OSU made the ensuing FTs and Williams turned the ball over on an in-bound play to loose 78-73. The Beavers have won six consecutive games for the first time since 1994-95. Players and McGuff said the defense was the problem and that can partly be linked to missing Barlow. She sprained her left ankle and did not return. Rogers said Barlow is the voice on that end and instead of playing for the fallen teammate, the players missed assignments. That allowed Schwegler to gain confidence, finishing with a team-high-tying 15 points. That equals her total for the entire season. Marchbanks made four free throws in the final 35 seconds, also finishing with 15 points. Davis led UW with 20 points, but the loss could be a pivotal one. Washington is stuck in the lower-half of the Pac, standings-wise while OSU is secured in third. The Huskies (13-10, 5-8 Pac-12) travel to play the Arizona schools next week. OSU (17-7, 8-5) hosts No. 4 Stanford and California.
