Washington Returns Home Ranked

SEATTLE - The #21 Washington Huskies return to Montlake with a top-ten win under their belt, ready for two more games this weekend. Washington will be home for the rest of the regular season, hosting Colorado and Utah this week before hosting Washington State in the Boeing Apple Cup Series next week.

The Huskies re-enter the rankings this week, coming in at #21 after beating #7 USC 2-0 last weekend. Washington is 10th in the country in RPI. That win over USC also leaves the Huskies all alone in second place in the Pac-12 with a 6-2-0 conference record and three games to play.

Washington has only lost once all year at home, falling to #2 North Carolina 3-2 during the Husky Invitational. After every loss this year, the Huskies have strung together at least two wins and enter this weekend with four wins in their last five games.

		THE BIG 2-0
Summer Yates became the first Husky since Jaclyn Softli in 2014 to record 20+ points in a single season. Now at 21 points, Her six assists this year are the eighth-most in a single season for a Husky and the second-most by a sophomore, behind online Caroline Putz's seven in 1999. The last Husky with more points than Yates' 21 was Lindsay Elston, who had 25 in 2012.

		KEEPERS KILLIN' IT
Siena Ruelas matched her career-high in saves at #18 UCLA, then set a new career high at #7 USC, making 16 over two games this weekend. Ruelas has the fourth-best save percentage in the Pac-12 at .808. Her nine saves against USC were the most by a Husky since 2017, when Sarah Shimer made nine saves against Stanford. It was the most saves in a two-game stretch since 2013, when Megan Kufeld made 17 in back-to-back ties against the Arizona schools.

		A NEW-IE BUT A GOODIE
Helena Reischling became the fifth Husky to score their first career goal this season: all five of those Huskies made their Washington debuts this season, with four of them freshmen. That is the most freshman to score goals in the same season for Washington since 2000, when Jaime Carstensen, Melissa Bennett, Blair Ruport, and Dana Dibble all did.
