Revenge is a dish best served cold.

UW guard Sami Whitcomb landed the killing blow on seventh-seed Oregon by way of two straight 3-pointers with 7:27 remaining in the second half to put the Huskies up 19 points, helping the UW women’s basketball team avenge their previous double-digit losses to the Ducks with a 69-43 win.

“It was a great game for us, probably our best game all year,” Washington assistant coach Judy Spoelstra said on radio station 1150 KKNW AM.

The Dawgs took advantage of an early injury to Oregon’s second-leading scorer, guard Taylor Lilley, after Lilley attempted to take a charge against UW guard Kristi Kingma.

“I think it really affected Oregon,” Spoelstra said. “It probably took us about 10 minutes to realize that she was not coming back, but during that time we were just really focusing on our substitutions and taking our defense and just really trying to find a good combination of kids that we felt were ready.”

The Huskies (8-21, 4-15 Pac-10) soon jumped out to a 26-12 lead with 6:30 remaining in the first half before cooling down at the intermission to a 32-24 lead.

“Our mindset was, “get out on them quick,” said UW point guard Sarah Morton. “We got to come out with game intensity and keep that confidence level the whole game.”

Oregon didn’t seem to have its head in the game, committing sloppy mistakes throughout.

The Ducks committed 20 turnovers — giving up 12 points on those turnovers — to the Huskies’ 12, and gave up seven fast-break points and six second-chance points to the Dawgs.

Whitcomb led all scorers in the game with 28 points, nearly breaking her own personal best of 29. Her six 3-pointers was also just one short of the UW record of seven in a game.

“She hit that first one, and then we knew she’s feeling it,” Spoelstra said of Whitcomb’s first 3-pointer. “You can just tell with the way she’s shooting it — it has the right arc — what kind of day it’s going to be for her.”

As the point guard, Morton felt confident every time she passed the ball to Whitcomb.

“I respect her so much that I know if the ball’s in her hands, we’ll be fine,” Morton said.
