SEATTLE – The Washington Huskies scored early and never looked back, defeating the Arizona State Sun Devils 1-0 Thursday night for another Pac-12 win. The Huskies are now 3-1-0 in Pac-12 play and 7-3-2 overall, having yet to lose consecutive games all season.

Olivia van der Jagt had the game's only goal, getting her feet to an Isabella Castro cross in the game's first five minutes. The Huskies managed ten shots in the game's first 26 minutes and would end the game with 24 total shots, just one off their season best.

Siena Ruelas was in goal for another shutout, her second in the last three games. Ruelas made four total saves, two each half. That include an all-important leaping push late in the second half to protect the lead after Arizona State put together a ten-minute stretch of ball control.

The Huskies would take control quickly after that 71^st minute Ruelas save. In a two-and-a-half minute stretch ending in the 82^nd minute, the Huskies fire five shots, nearly scoring two goals off corner kicks that Makena Carr got on the end of. That pressure would be enough to ensure the 1-0 lead stayed in place.

		SCORING
3:46 \| The game's only goal began with Lisa Jensen fighting off a grabby defender to find space. The leftback sent a through ball to Castro down the wing all alone. That gave Castro time to pick out a pass on the run and send a hard, low centering pass to van der Jagt in the box.

		NOTES
After starting the year with no points in her first nine games, van der Jagt has a goal and an assist in the last three. Jensen became the 11^th Husky to record multiple points this year with her second assist. Ruelas has not allowed a goal in three of her six appearances and has only once allowed more than one goal.

Washington will host #25 Arizona on Sunday at 12:00 PM for Heroes and Youth Day. Make sure to follow Husky women's soccer on Twitter with the username @UW_WSoccer and on Instagram at uw_wsoccer.
