FRESHMAN FINISHING | |
| Ruby Hellstrom scored the Huskies' first goal of the season, pushing it home at #7 Florida to give the Huskies a lead ten minutes into the freshman's first career appearance. Only one other freshman has scored Washington's first goal of the season since 1999: Sarah Dougherty did so at Penn State in 2005. | ||

SISI SAYS NO-NO | |
| Siena Ruelas made seven saves in her first career start at #7 Florida. That save total was the most in a Husky goalkeeper's career debut since Hope Solo also made seven in 1999 against #10 Clemson. Solo is also the last Husky goalkeeper to make their career debut against a team ranked in the nation's top ten. | ||

GETTING THEIR FEET WET | |
| Four different Huskies made their collegiate debuts at #7 Florida. Summer Yates and Ruelas each started the game, with Makena Carr and Hellstrom coming off the bench. In addition to those four, Kennedy Smith, Mireya Grey, Kaylene Pang, and Jessika Cowart all made their first career starts. | ||
