PULLMAN — Brandi Thomas scored 16 of her career-high 18 points in the second half to lead Washington State to a 60-43 victory over Utah on Thursday night.

The Cougars (9-6, 3-0 Pac-12) trailed 28-21 at the half, but went on a 23-0 run midway through the second half to take a 47-32 lead. The run was sparked by Rosetta Adzasu, who had three steals and 10 of her 13 points during the run.

Taryn Wicijowski and Michelle Plouffe both finished with 12 points for the Utes (7-6, 0-2).

The Cougars dominated on defense, scoring 21 points off turnovers and swiping the ball 13 times.

The last time WSU opened 3-0 in conference play was the 1977-78 season, when it played in the Northwest Women's Basketball League.
