WSU Cougars’ men’s team remains undefeated going into Saturday’s game against UCLA, defeating USC on Thursday night 73-58. The women’s team played a top notch game, as well, but had USC pass them late in the second half and lost 58-62.
Davin Harmeling scored a season-high 19 points, Aron Baynes had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Washington State beat Southern California 73-58 to give the unbeaten Cougars their best start in 91 years. Taylor Rochestie added 12 points and seven assists and Derrick Low had 10 points and five assists for the Cougars (14-0, 2-0), who beat USC for just the 12th time in 53 road games.
The WSU women’s team received career highs from freshmen Katie Calderwood who nailed 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc, and Jasmine Williams dropped in 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting at Friel Court.
On Saturday, both teams will face UCLA, the men at 11:30 a.m. in LA, televised on FSN, and the women at home on Friel Court. If you’re in Pullman, plan to come out and support the women.
