After their 20-game win streak came to an end earlier in the day, the No. 16 Washington Huskies bounced back with a 6-3 win over the No. 24 Stanford Cardinal in Palo Alto, California, on Thursday evening.
In a back-and-forth game, coach Heather Tarr’s offense was powered by catcher Jadyn Glab, who went 2-for-4 on the day with 3 runs batted in, two of which came on her eighth home run of the season to give the Huskies some breathing room in the fifth inning.

It was easy for Glab to get all the glory with third baseman Giselle Alvarez in front of her, as the junior went 2-for-3 with a walk on the day. She came across to score all three times she was on base, while standout freshman Ally Hetzel also continued her hot streak, going 2-for-3 with an RBI single in the third inning.
After a shaky first few innings, in which she let up an RBI triple to Kyra Chan and a solo home run to second baseman Addyson Shepard, Morgan Reimer really settled in. On her way to her nation-leading 20th win of the season, Washington’s ace threw a complete game and let up 3 runs (2 earned) on 6 hits with a walk and 2 strikeouts in the process.
Anna Brewer took the loss for the Cardinal after coming in to relieve starter Zoe Prystajko and working the final 3 innings, surrendering 4 runs (2 earned) on 4 hits with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts in the process.
