TUCSON, Ariz. — Kristi Kingma scored 22 points and Washington's starters all scored in double figures as the Huskies defeated Arizona 74-65 Friday night for their fifth consecutive win.

Washington led 39-30 at halftime and Arizona never got closer than six points in the second half.
After Arizona closed to 56-50, Kingma hit a three-pointer that began a 7-0 Washington run.
Arizona challenged one more time, making it 69-63 with 2:47 left, but Walton made a jumper to stop the run and Kingma made three free throws in the final 1:07 to clinch the UW win.
