SEATTLE – The Washington Huskies fought hard but fell 2-1 to the Oregon State Beavers in their first Pac-12 match of the year. The Huskies outshot Oregon State 15-6 but couldn't find the tying goal late despite heavy pressure. Gio Miglietti had Washington's only goal on the night.

The Huskies played a dominant defensive game for much of the match. Over the first 45 minutes, Washington allowed just one shot, and none on goal, but couldn't find a goal of their own to take the lead.

Dylan Teves would end the night with three shots, one of four Huskies with multiple shots in the game. Teves came close to tying the game after forcing a giveaway in the box but was denied by Oregon State's on-rushing keeper.
