Game Notes

SEATTLE - Pac-12 play continues for the Washington Huskies with a pair of road tests. The Huskies head to California for their first Pac-12 road trip, playing Cal on Thursday and Stanford on Sunday. The Huskies will look to extend a three-game win streak.

That winning streak includes a 2-1 victory over Oregon in the Pac-12 opener for the Dawgs. The two goals in that game made it ten in the last three games by Washington, all while allowing just two. In all, the Huskies have won five of their last six games after beginning the year 0-1-2.

This will be Washington's second trip to California this year. Washington also visited Cal Poly earlier during non-conference play. In that game, the Huskies scored five times, winning 5-0 for their biggest victory of the season thus far.

		STARTING STRONG
The Huskies added another first-half goal against Oregon, making it 11 of 15 goals scored this year that have come in the first 45. Washington is outscoring the opposition 11-1 in the first half of games and have yet to trail at halftime. In all, Washington holds a 58-42 shot advantage in the first half and a 29-20 advantage on corners in that time.

		DAWG DAYS OF SUMMER
Summer Yates had her first-ever multi-assist game against Oregon, increasing her career-high point total to 14 through the first nine games of the year. In the last three games, Yates had three goals and three assists: in 19 games as a freshman, Yates had three goals and two assists. Yates had just one game with multiple goals and/or assists last year: she has four this year. Her nine total points in the last three games are the most in a three-game stretch by any Husky since Kate Deines in 2010. One more point would make her the first Husky with 15 in a season since Shannon Simon (7 G, 5 A) in 2015.

		THE BEST KENNEDY
For the third game in a row, Kennedy Smith scored a goal, expanding on her career-best point total. Smith is the first Husky to score goals in three consecutive games since Shannon Simon did so in 2015. The last Husky to score in four consecutive games was Veronica Perez, who did so in the first four games of the 2008 season. Smith has scored those three goals on just six total shots.
