SEATTLE --- The University of Washington has won the 2019 Pac-12 Championship after Stanford suffered a 1-0 home loss to California on Thursday night in Palo Alto. The conference title is the third for Washington and its first since 2013.
Thomas Williamson scored on a PK for Cal in the 56th minute and the Golden Bears defense made it stand up as the Cardinal were officially eliminated from a chance at their fifth-straight conference title with the loss.
The Huskies, who are currently ranked No. 6 in the NCAA/United Soccer Coaches Poll, are 14-3-0 overall and 7-2-0 in Pac-12 play this season, posting one of the best records in program history. Washington previously won the Pac-12 title in 2013 and also in 2000—the first season of Pac-12 men's soccer.
Overall, the Huskies have posted 11 shutouts and surrendered just 10 goals through 17 matches this season—the third-best shutout percentage (.647) and the sixth-lowest goals against average (0.583) in the NCAA. On the offensive side, Washington leads the Pac-12 and ranks 23rd in the NCAA in scoring offense, averaging 2.06 goals per game.
Eleven different Huskies have scored at least one goal with 16 players recording a point including four players with double-digit points on the season. Junior Blake Bodily leads the team in points (23) and goals (9), scoring six goals in his last seven matches.
