Husky Summer Update
July 16, 2019 | Men's Soccer
The University of Washington has produced nearly 100 players who have appeared in 14 different leagues throughout the 57-year history of the program. Currently, 16 former Huskies and nearly all 26 current Dawgs are competing professionally and as amateurs in numerous leagues this summer.

Cristian Roldan wrapped up his time with the US Men's National Team as the US finished as the runner-up to Mexico in the 2019 Gold Cup. Roldan saw action in four matches, making one start in the tournament, coming off the bench in the second half of the Gold Cup final. He returned to the Seattle Sounders this past week, earning MLS Team of the Week honors, earning an assist and playing solid midfield as the Sounders knocked off Atlanta United 2-1.
Spencer Richey tied a career-high with six saves for FC Cincinnati and stopped a pair of penalty kicks to lead the team to its second-straight win by beating Chicago Fire 2-1. Richey made a pair of saves including a game-saving stop in stoppage time with a black eyed suffered earlier in the second half to beat Houston Dynamo 3-2. Richey has faced the sixth-most shots in the MLS despite playing at least three fewer matches than those ahead of him and is fifth in saves overall.
Justin Schmidt scored for New Mexico United in the team's 2-1 loss against Fresno in USL Championship action. Schmidt played the full 90 as New Mexico's run came to an end in a 6-1 loss to Minnesota United in the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals.
James Moberg played 90 minutes as Real Monarchs picked up its fifth-straight USL win with a 5-0 victory over Tacoma Defiance. Moberg's defense has been stellar lately, as the Monarchs have allowed just two goals over its last four matches.
Michael Gallagher played the entire match as LA Galaxy II played to a 2-2 road draw at Las Vegas. Gallagher has seen action in 13 matches this season Galaxy II, making 11 starts.
Brent Richards also played a full 90 minutes in Reno's 3-2 victory over Club America's U20 this week. Reno has been playing well as of late, winning four of its last five to move into third place in the USL Western Conference standings with a 9-5-4 record.
Current UW Players
Blake Bodily scored a goal from the spot in the 89th minute to help Timbers U23 to a 3-3 draw with Sounders U23 in the final match of the season.
Jasper Malamud scored 3 times in 2 games for PacNW as the Cascade Conference's summer schedule wrapped up this weekend. Malamud scored twice against Oly Town Artesians in a 5-0 win, then scored once in a 7-1 win over the Spokane Shadow. Kasey French, Ryan Sailor and James Smith played in the conference as well with solid showings all around.

Apologies for the delay in getting this announced. In addition to a solid night defensively, Justin Schmidt netted his first career goal and earned your vote for the @StarrBroBrewCo Starr of the Match!#NMUnited #SomosUnidos pic.twitter.com/Mt2NOhuJ0L
