SEATTLE โ The Dawgs are returning to Alaska Airlines Arena this spring. Washington is thrilled to bring a tremendous group of alumni back home for an Alumni Match against the current Husky squad on Friday, May 27, at 6:30 p.m. Admission will be free for all fans and players young and slightly-less-young will be signing autographs at the end of the scrimmage.
ย
An All-Star lineup of former Huskies has agreed to return, and handling the coaching duties for the Alumni will be Honda Award winner and two-time Olympian Courtney Thompson.
ย
The Alumni playing roster earned a total of 10 AVCA All-America honors during their playing days, highlighted by 2013 AVCA National Player of the Year Krista Vansant. Thompson and Vansant are the first two Huskies to have their jerseys retired in Alaska Airlines Arena, and both will be back on the court on May 27.

The Alumni roster spans players who graduated from 2014 up to this past season. Every player captured at least one Pac-12 title during their Husky careers.
