SEATTLE (AP) - Giuliana Mendiola scored a school record and career-high 43 points as No. 25 Washington beat UCLA 111-77 Saturday.
The Huskies (17-3, 9-2 Pac-10) opened the game hitting six of their first seven 3-pointers, including two each from Loree Payne and Emily Autrey. Washington led 24-4 just five minutes into the game.
Mendiola shot 15-of-20 from the field, set a career high with six 3-pointers and had 12 rebounds. Autrey tied a career high with 23 points.
The victory extended Washington's home winning streak to 11 games - the sixth longest in school history. The record is 30 straight set from 1986-88.
