Quinn averaged 23 points and nine rebounds as UCLA earned a road sweep in Washington for the first time since 2000. In UCLA's 64-59 come-from-behind victory over Washington, Quinn recorded her third consecutive double-double, totaling a career-high 25 points with 11 rebounds. She also had two assists and three steals and was a perfect 6-6 from the free throw line and hit two crucial foul shots with seven seconds to play that gave the Bruins a five-point lead. She had put UCLA up by six on a jumper with 17 seconds to play. Her double-double was her third-straight, making her the first Bruin to have three consecutive double-doubles since Kisa Hughes in 1995-96. Quinn was also the first Bruin to record three straight double-figure rebound totals since Janae Hubbard in 1998-99.
In the 78-57 win over Washington State, Quinn led all players with 21 points and tied for the Bruin lead in rebounding with seven. She also had three assists and two steals and shot 2-2 from the foul line. Quinn has scored 20+ points in three consecutive games.
