BERKELEY -- Josh Hawkinson had 18 points and 13 rebounds for his sixth straight double-double, Jordan Railey scored 17 points and Washington State beat California 69-66 on Sunday for its first Pac-12 road win in nearly two years.
Ike Iroegbu added 12 points including four free throws over the final 36 seconds for the Cougars (7-7, 1-1), who won despite missing nine of their final 12 shots.
First-year coach Ernie Kent's team had not won a road game all season and had not won a conference road game since beating Oregon State in Corvallis on Jan. 26, 2013 - a stretch of 15 games.
The Cougars ended both streaks with a stiff defense that held the Golden Bears (11-4, 1-1) without a basket for more than eight minutes late in the second half.
Jordan Mathews missed a potential tying 3-pointer at the buzzer.
