The Seattle University women's basketball team saw its season come to an end on March 16 with a lopsided 88-45 loss to the Oregon Ducks in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, but it was an all-time great season for the Redhawks nonetheless. Even after the loss, Seattle's players remained upbeat and were able to put their accomplishments in perspective. The team had won its first ever WAC tournament championship and subsequently had made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. Moreover, it became the first WAC team to have two of its players win consecutive Freshman of the Year honors. Oregon jumped out to an early 10-0 lead in the first-round game and held a 48-16 lead by halftime. Alexis Montgomery led Seattle in scoring with 14 points while Kallin Spiller added 10 points. The Redhawks finished the 2017-18 season with a win-loss record of 18-15 and, prior to losing to Oregon, had won five consecutive games.
