CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Lindsay Allen recorded her first career triple-double and Brianna Turner scored 24 points to help No. 2 Notre Dame beat Chattanooga 79-58 on Tuesday night for its 15th consecutive road victory.
Allen had 11 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists for the sixth triple-double in Notre Dame women’s basketball history. Skylar Diggins had two triple-doubles. The other three came from Mary Gavin, Sara Liebscher and Marina Mabrey.
Allen’s 11 rebounds represented a career high for the senior guard. Her 12 assists matched a career high.
Notre Dame (12-1) was making its fourth stop on a six-game road stretch that continues Thursday when the Fighting Irish open Atlantic Coast Conference play at North Carolina State.
This six-game stretch represents Notre Dame’s longest string of true road games in the program’s history. Notre Dame hasn’t lost a true road game since falling 91-81 at eventual national champion Connecticut on Dec. 5, 2015.
No. 9 WASHINGTON 94, WASHINGTON STATE 63
SEATTLE (AP) - Natalie Romeo made five 3-pointers in the first half and finished with a season-high 25 points, and Washington used a 26-0 run in the first half to race past rival Washington State.
The Huskies (13-1, 1-0 Pac-12) opened Pac-12 Conference play as the highest ranked Pac-12 team in the AP Top 25 and backed it up with a dominant performance against the Cougars.
For a change Kelsey Plum was not the center of attention for the Huskies. It was Romeo, the transfer from Nebraska, who knocked down 5 of 8 3-pointers in the first half and finished 7 of 12 behind the arc, one off her career-high of eight 3-pointers.
Plum, the national leader in scoring at 30.2 points per game finished with 21 points, continuing her streak of scoring at least 20 points in every game this season.
Cameron Fernandez and Chanelle Molina led Washington State (5-7, 0-1) with 11 points each.
No. 22 OREGON STATE 73, ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFF 40
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - Sydney Wiese had 11 points, including two 3-pointers, and six assists and became the first player in Pac-12 history with 300 career made 3s as Oregon State beat Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Breanna Brown had 14 points and Gabriella Hanson added 10 points for Oregon State, which has won eight in a row.
A layup by Aiya El Hassan and then a jumper by Kye Richardson trimmed UAPB’s deficit to 20-17, but Oregon State (11-1) closed the second quarter on an 18-6 run - including back-to-back 3s by Hanson and Wiese that made it 38-23 at the break.
Wiese’s 300th 3-pointer capped an 8-2 run to open the second half and gave the Beavers a 21-point lead with 6:43 left in the third quarter.
Destiny Brewton scored 14 on 6-of-12 shooting and El Hassan finished with 10 for UAPB (3-8).
