UW Women’s Basketball Upsets #6 Michigan Behind Career Night From Avery Howell

The University of Washington women’s basketball team began the 2026 calendar year with a bang, upsetting a Michigan Wolverines team that was ranked sixth in the nation at the time. Sophomore guard Avery Howell led the way for Washington while junior guard Sayvia Sellers saw most of her offensive production come in the second half, giving the home fans at Alaska Airlines Arena a memory of a game that will last for a long time.
