Game Notes

SEATTLE - Washington's regular season comes to a close Friday with another rivalry matchup. The Huskies will take on the Washington State Cougars in the Boeing Apple Cup Series, the 28th matchup between these two teams.

The Huskies come into the weekend fresh of a big win over Cal and look to finish the regular season at .500 with a win. The Huskies need one more goal to reach 25 on the season, their first time reaching that mark since 2015. Washington now has seven players with multiple goals on the season, including three with three or more goals in Olivia Van der Jagt, Summer Yates, and Kaylene Pang.

This year's Boeing Apple Cup Series matchup will be in Pullman. The Huskies are 4-2 in the state of Washington so far this year, but lost their last matchup with Washington State in Pullman, in 2016.

		HOUSE OF PANG
Kaylene Pang scored a brace against Cal, earning her second and third goals of her career. Pang is the first Husky to score twice in one game since Sianna Siemonsma did so on September 8, 2017 against Boise State. Pang has three goals on the season, all coming while playing central defense. She has played every minute of the season and is one of four field players to start every game, along with Taylor Sekyra, Lisa Jensen, and Olivia Van der Jagt.

		EVERY DAY SHE'S HUSSEN-LIN'
Against Cal, Ameera Hussen scored her second goal of the season, potting the eventual gamewinner. Hussen has started the last three games in a row and seven of the last nine. In that time, she has recorded 25 shots, 15 on goal. Hussen started the year with no shots in four of her first five games: she has been held without a shot just once since then.

		GOALIVIA VAN DER JAGT
For the first time in her career, Olivia Van der Jagt had a three-point game, picking up a goal and an assist against Cal. Van der Jagt now has 14 points on the year, the most by a Husky since Shannon Simon's 19 in 2015. Simon is the only other sophomore since 2000 that has scored that many points for the Huskies. Van der Jagt needs one more point for the 14th season of 15 or more points by a Husky since 2000.

		MINUTES MUNCHERS
Lisa Jensen and Taylor Sekyra each broke the 1500-minute barrier this last week. That duo has started all but one of Washington's 36 games together over the last two seasons, making a combined 75 of 77 possible starts in that time. Jensen has played every minute of 12 games for the Huskies so far, while Sekyra has done so in 15.

		UP NEXT: WASHINGTON STATE
Started season 10-0-0 8-2-4 against Washington in Pullman Teams tied 0-0 last year 8-1-1 in Pullman this year Eight players with multiple goals

		LAST WEEK
After playing hard against #1 Stanford but coming out on the wrong side of a 2-0 game, the Huskies bounced back in a big way, defeating Cal 4-1 in the season's final home game. All four goals came in the first half for the Huskies, the second four-goal half Washington has had this year after also doing so against Seattle U.
