For the last ten days, freshman Elijah Rice has been in Serbia with the U19 Men's National Team. The team competed in the Stevan Vilotic Tournament. The team fell to Serbia and France in the tournament. Rice will resume play with the Huskies this week.Β
Robertson is BackΒ
After missing most of the 2015 season due to injury, senior Mason Robertson has returned stronger than ever. He currently leads the team in goals (3) and points (7). He was named to College Soccer News' National Team of the Week after converting a header agaisnt St. Mary's and scoring two goals against Oral Roberts.Β
Immediate Impact: Handwalla Bwana
Freshman Handwalla Bwana has given the Huskies' offense the firepower they need to come back after the loss in the season opener. In the match at St. Mary's he five shots with one goal. On Sunday against Oral Roberts he had one shot with one assist.
2016 Captains
This season, the Dawgs will be led by senior captains Justin Schmidt, Beau Blanchard and Auden Schilder. The trio embodies the mentality Coach Clark expects from his players. Their leadership and dedication to the team show on and off the field. Last season Blanchard saw action in all 19 games, with eight starts. He scored the team's only goal in the season opener against Gonzaga, leading the team to a win. Schmidt started in 18 games and was named to the NSCAA All-Far West Region First Team. Schmidt played a team-high of 1,737 minutes in the season with 5 points scored in the season. Schilder, in 2015, only allowed one goal in his 135 minute total playing time.Β
In the Net
Redshirt Freshman Saif Kerawala will most likely get the nod in the upcoming week after his first start for the purple and gold. He inked three saves in his first start against Oral Roberts.Β
A Look at the DawgsΒ
Summer was very beneficial for the Huskies. The team took advantage of the time off school and voluntarily worked to improve their fitness and ball handling. The 2016 men's soccer team includes nine freshmen newcomers and 20 returners. The backline made of Justin Schmidt, Quentin Pearson, Luke Hauswirth and Justin Fiddes, who allowed only 13 goals in all season, returns fully intact. Mason Robertson will be returning after spending the majority of the 2015 on the bench due to a leg injury. Henry Wingo and Kyle Coffee will be returning as key attackers for the Huskies.Β
Nation's Top 100
Junior and Seattle native, Henry Wingo, has earned the No. 57 spot on Tap Drawer Soccer's Top 100 list. Last season he played in all 19 games in 2015, starting in 17. He was named to the NSCAA All-Far West Region Third Team, earned All-Pac-12 Second Team honors as well as given Second Team Academic All-Pac-12 honors.
