Arizona falls to 16-5 with the 70-59 home loss to Washington State on Sunday afternoon.
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star In a game of runs, the Arizona women's basketball team couldn't catch Washington State down the stretch.
UA senior guard Helena Pueyo ended the Cougars' game-opening run with a 3-pointer. That started a 7-0 run that cut the lead to 10-9. Arizona senior Esmery Martinez scored nine of Arizona’s 14 points in the first quarter and with 8:47 left in the second quarter, UA took the lead back with a Martinez layup.
Arizona closed out the first half Sunday with no field goals in the last 6:30, missing their last seven shots. Senior guard/forward Jade Loville made two of three free throws with no time on the clock to cut Wazzu’s lead to 29-27 at the half. With WSU up 50-48 early in the fourth quarter, Martinez got called for a technical foul after pushing a Cougar that ran into her before the Wildcats could inbound the ball.
Murekatete, who scored 27 in their last meeting, just missed out on a double-double with nine boards.
