SEATTLE (AP) — When last season finally ended for Washington, they needed more mental healing than anything else.

If matching the record for the worst season in school history wasn't bad enough, the miserable 2008-09 campaign was only accentuated by headline grabbing losses of 30 to California, 58 to Connecticut and a Pac-10 record 77 to Stanford.

Saying they are healed from the scars of last year's 8-22 season, the Huskies begin what they hope is a rapid turnaround on Sunday when they travel to Portland State for their season opener.

Washington has leading scorer Sami Whitcomb back and has added an inside presence with UCLA transfer Regina Rogers. Coach Tia Jackson, now entering her third season, says the Huskies have the pieces to build around and return to the upper-half of the Pac-10.
