Quick update
A big hearty congratulations to the University of Washington women, their head coach, and their entire coaching staff.
The first clean sweep at the NCAAs in NCAA history. 132 points, the absolute maximum. A dominating effort by UW, and a huge turnaround from a few weeks prior when Cal came into Seattle and left victorious. Back-to-back sweeps (Pac-12s, and NCAAs), and the 500 National Championship for the Pac-12 Conference.
Cal was no slouch either, placing second for their...10th - I believe - podium finish in a row. That's simply incredible. With Stanford placing 6th, and WSU placing 14th, the Pac-12 once again shows it's incredible talent and depth.
I will own up to it now, I am a Pac-12 fan. With family ties to USC, UCLA, Stanford and UW, I was born and bred to be a west coast/Pac-10/Pac-12 fan.
Again, congratulations to the UW Women. Bow Down to Washington.

I don't know that how things went will ever sit well with those associated with the program, but this was a season that could go a long way toward starting the process of moving forward.
