SEATTLE – A contentious game saw the #9 Washington Huskies win 2-0 over the UCLA Bruins on the road. Ryan Sailor and Christian Soto had the goals for the Huskies. Soto also had an assist in the game.

Washington moves to 6-1-0 with the win and 3-1-0 in Pac-12 play. The Huskies are on a four-game win streak, with three of those games shutouts.

Cole Grimsby and Christian Soto had assists on Sailor's goal that put the Huskies ahead. Gabe Threadgold had his first collegiate point, assisting on Soto's goal. In goal, Sam Fowler extended his shutout streak to 209 minutes and now has shutouts in five of his six appearances this season.

UCLA's only extended pressure came near the end of the game, when the Bruins managed three shots after the 75^th minute. Washington didn't allow a shot on goal in the first 63 minutes. Washington weather the storm from UCLA and found the nail in the coffin soon thereafter with Soto's goal.

		SCORING
31' \| Soto fed Grimsby, who fired a long ball into the box where Sailor found it for his second goal of the season. 88' \| A misplay by UCLA allowed Threadgold to leap on the loose ball and feed Soto who scored, striking it home to put an end to any chance of a UCLA comeback.

		NOTES
Washington has now won four straight against UCLA, its longest streak since a five-game win streak from 1998-2001. Soto had his first career multi-point game. Soto has scored goals in back-to-back games. Sailor has now scored goals in two of the last three games. This is the second year in a row Washington has started 6-1-0.
