Washington's Sayvia Sellers in line for massive scoring season in 2026

Sayvia Sellers enjoyed a career season as a junior for Washington women's basketball, ending with first-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and second-team All-Big Ten honors from the media. The Alaska native set new career highs in points, 3-pointers made and attempted, and field goals made and attempted while tying her career bests in assists and blocks as well. Let's review her season and look at what may still be on the horizon for the Huskies' leading scorer.

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ career points for Sayvia Sellers and she popped OFF last night 🙌🔥 #NCAAWBB x @UW_WBB pic. twitter. com/XDO4XRhI5x — NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessWBB) February 6, 2026 Sellers was named third team preseason All-Big Ten alongside guard Elle Ladine, who led Washington in scoring in 2024-25.

But with Ladine out for the first six games of the season due to an undisclosed injury that caused her to shoot her worst percentages since freshman year, it became clear quickly that the Huskies would go as far as Sellers would take them in 2025-26. 30 points at Utah in the third game of the year on November 15 cemented that status. 8 assists the next time out against Fresno State proved that Sellers, who averaged 3.

9 assists per game last season, was still just as willing a passer despite her higher usage on offense. That stretch earned Sellers Big Ten Player of the Week and USBWA National Player of the Week, but a three-game stretch of 29, 20, and 30 points in early December against San Jose State, USC, and Green Bay saw the junior set a new career high in 3-pointers made with 7 and arguably might've been her best despite the lack of award recognition. After Christmas, Sellers scored her 1,000th point against Northwestern, the 32nd player in program history to hit that mark.
