Washington turned in three consecutive double-digit scoring efforts during Sacred Heart’s three-win week.  The rookie guard averaged 13.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest to help the Pioneers clinch the best season start (7-1) in the program’s illustrious history.  Washington shot nearly 50 percent (18-for-37) from the field over the three-game clip and put forth her highest scoring total thus far to date in a 53-40 win over Central Connecticut, the team responsible for eliminating the Pioneer from the NEC Tournament in each of the past two years.  Washington scored a game-high 17 points, on 8-for-15 shooting, and grabbed five rebounds in the win at Derrick.  She followed that effort with an 11-point showing in a road triumph over Quinnipiac. She started the week by shooting 5-for-10 from the floor on the way to 11 points and five rebounds in a 55-33 rout of Stony Brook.  In a pair of road victories over NEC rivals with a combined 9-5 record, Washington averaged 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 block per outing.
