NW Briefs: UW softball's Lawrie sets mark with 19 strikeouts

Freshman Danielle Lawrie struck out 19 batters to set a Washington record, but it wasn't enough as No. 7 Arizona State squeaked out a 1-0 victory over the 15th-ranked Huskies Friday at Husky Softball Stadium.

The loss marked Washington's (30-17, 4-9) sixth one-run loss in Pac-10 play.

Lawrie's 19 strikeouts set a school record for most in a regulation game and tied her own record set in last Wednesday's 12-inning game against UCLA for most strikeouts in any game.

She now has 292 strikeouts this season, which ranks second on the UW all-time list behind All-American Jennifer Spediacci, who fanned 316 batters in 1999.
