Davis finished with 29 points, Plum scored 23 and Aminah Williams grabbed 11 rebounds for Washington (23-8), which will face No. 4 seed California in the quarterfinals on Friday.

Tanaeya Boclair and Joseta Fatuesi hit two free throws apiece to pull Utah (9-21) within three with 3:21 left, but Plum scored seven straight before Davis made a pair of free throws to make it 73-61 with 46 seconds remaining.
