SEATTLE – It was a classic Husky game of ball domination on Montlake Thursday, with Washington triumphing 1-0 over Oregon State after blasting 29 shots. The Huskies allowed only two shots on goal in the game and four total shots. Olivia Van der Jagt scored the game's only goal, moving the Huskies record to 6-3-1 on the year and 1-1-0 in the Pac-12.

Siena Ruelas record her fourth shutout of the season. The Huskies allowed only one shot in the second half of the game after firing 19 of their own in the first half, decidedly controlling the ball and pace of play.

"This was probably the fewest total players we've play in a while," said Lesle Gallimore. "I just thought Mireya Grey and Sianna Siemonsma were on fire, Asia Brisco and Ameera Hussen did a great job… the people that were in there just had it going. The rotation we had did a good job getting a team win for us."

		SCORING
50:35 \| The game's only goal came thanks to good positioning on the part of Van der Jagt. Lisa Jensen sent the ball into the box from afar during Washington's long possession. An Oregon State defender headed it away but straight to Van der Jagt's foot, with the sophomore scoring after one touch to settle the ball.

		NOTES
Washington's 19 shots in the first half were its most in any single half this year. Only once in the last six games has Washington allowed more than three shots in the first half. The Huskies have had double-digit shots in the first half four times in that span. Van der Jagt now has four game-winning goals. The last Husky with more was Joclyn Softli with six in 2014. Hussen made her first start of the year. In her last five games, she has a goal, an assist, and 12 shots. Washington has had four games with 20+ shots this year.
