Game Notes

SEATTLE – It is back to the road this week for the Washington Huskies as the team will take part in the Nike Portland Invitational. Washington will play UC Irvine and Utah Valley this weekend, beginning with a contest against UC Irvine on Friday, September 7 at 4:30 pm. It will be the second trip to Portland for the Huskies this year: Washington played the Pilots in Portland earlier this year, winning 1-0. The Huskies enter this week ranked eighth in the Pacific region by the United Soccer Coaches.

		GOALIVIA VAN DER JAGT
Since going without a point against Florida in the season opener, Olivia Van der Jagt has put up at least a point in every game. The sophomore has three goals and an assist over the last four games. That four-game point streak is the longest by a Husky since Lindsay Elston's four-game streak in 2012.

		SUMMER NEVER ENDS
Through the first five games of her freshman season, Summer Yates has recorded 15 shots, including seven against Michigan State. Washington has not had a freshman record 15 shots in a single season since 2015, when Pascale Dumesnil and Kelcie Hedge did. The last Husky to record seven or more shots in a single game was Kimberly Keever, who did so on October 14, 2016 at Colorado. Yates is on a pace to become the fifth Husky in the last decade with over 55 shots in a season, joining Shannon Simon, Kate Bennett, Lindsay Elston, and Veronica Perez.

		LIL JON WOULD BE PROUD
Against Michigan State, the Huskies managed 35 shots. Washington had not had over 30 shots in a single game since October 22, 2004, when they defeated Oregon State 3-2 in double overtime. The Huskies had not had over 20 shots since 2015, when they managed 27 against Gonzaga in a double overtime game. Washington recorded 27 shots in regulation against Michigan State.

		UP NEXT: UC IRVINE
0-2-1 against Pac-12 opponents so far this season Is 0-7-0 all-time against Washington (last played in 2015) Three different goal-scorers thus far Won the Big West in 2017

Have never played Washington Four different goal-scorers thus far One of three games against Pac-12 schools on schedule (lost to Cal)

		LAST WEEK
Washington played two overtime games in the Husky Nike Invitational, falling 2-1 to Wisconsin and tying Michigan State 1-1. Yates and Van der Jagt each scored for the Huskies as the pair became the first Huskies with multiple goals this season.
