SEATTLE — The No. 25 Washington Huskies women's basketball team played the Vermont Catamounts in its second of five-straight home games Sunday. And for the second game in a row, the Huskies dominated.

Washington beat Vermont 71-39 in a game that featured two players, junior guard Sayvia Sellers and freshman forward Brynn McGaughy, score 20 or more points.

It was the first 20-point game of McGaughy's collegiate career. She came into the program this season as a five-star recruit and McDonald's All-American.

"I'm feeling super comfortable," McGaughy said in a postgame news conference Sunday. "But it starts with my teammates. They help me out, so props to them. ... The speed and the physicality is different (than high school). But I love it. It's awesome."

McGaughy put up her 20 points on a 9-for-15 clip from the floor and a 2-for-2 mark from the free throw line. She also pulled in two rebounds and blocked a shot.

McGaughy scored nine of her points in the first half, which led the team. Those nine points were the difference in the first half for the Huskies, who went into halftime leading 29-20.

In the third quarter, Sellers took over the game.

The Catamounts maintained their nine-point disadvantage through the first two-and-a-half minutes of the third quarter and trailed 33-24.

Sellers, who finished the game with 22 points on 8-for-15 shooting, including a perfect 5-for-5 mark from the charity stripe, scored nine straight points to bolster her team's advantage to 42-24 with 3:51 left in the third quarter.

"Aggressive Sayvia is really special," Head coach Tina Langley said Sunday. "She does a tremendous job and she carries a load some days because she can get to the paint. She just has a gift. When we need to get to the basket, Sayvia is the one where we're gonna call her number and she always rises to that occasion."

Sellers' nine-straight points comprised most of an 11-0 run for Washington. The last two points in that run were scored by senior guard Hannah Stines.

Sellers finished the game with four assists, three rebounds and a steal to go with her game-high 22 points.

Stines posted a double-double and finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and a block.

"I think my teammates were boxing out well today," Stines said Sunday. "I didn't have a set intention to get more rebounds today but I'm always trying to grow in that area."

The Huskies ended the third quarter with a 49-29 advantage.

In the fourth, Washington continued to add on, even with bench players in the game for the latter stages of the final 10 minutes.

The Huskies outscored Vermont 22-10 in the fourth for the eventual final of 71-39.

Washington held the Catamounts to a sub-double-digit scoring-per-quarter average.

Vermont scored seven points in the first quarter, 13 in the second, nine in the third and 10 in the fourth.

The undefeated Huskies will play their third of their five-game homestand at 6 p.m. PT on Nov. 25 against Southern University at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.
