The End is Near

Last Time Out
The Washington men's soccer team won their second overtime match of the weekend after a header from Justin Schmidt in less than two minutes into overtime. The 1-0 win over the Cardinal was their first Pac-12 loss of the season and their first loss in the month of October. The two teams battled in the pouring rain for 92 minutes. The overtime win allowed the Huskies to halt the Cardinal's quest for its third consecutive conference title. The Husky win was also the Carnidal's first loss at home since 2014. Goalkeeper Auden Schilder played an integral role in the match with eight saves. Twice in the match the red-shirt junior denied back-to-back shots from opponent. His last two saves were what sent the match into overtime. The goal in the 91st minute from Schmidt came off a Handwalla Bwana corner kick. The goal was Schmidt's second of the season and Bwana's 7th assist.
Last Time at Home
16 minutes was all it took for the Dawgs to capture the win over Gonzaga Friday night. After taking the lead early in the first half, the team earned their tenth win of the season, finishing 3-1. Garret Jackson, Elijah Rice and Steven Wright were the goal scoreres. Justin Schmidt was given the assist for the first goal.
