October 04, 2023 | Men's Soccer
SEATTLE – No. 20 Washington looks to bounce back on Thursday night as it hosts No. 21 San Diego State. Kickoff from Husky Soccer Stadium is set for 7 p.m. and airing on Pac-12 Washington.
 
LAST TIME OUT
Washington dropped its first conference contest of the season in a 2-0 decision vs. Oregon State last Saturday at Husky Soccer Stadium.
 
PAC-12 RECORD WATCH
Sam Fowler has a chance to become the Pac-12's all-time leader in both career shutouts and GAA (Goals Against Average). He enters his senior campaign third on the Conference's clean sheets list (28, two behind Spencer Richey's Pac-12 record 30).
 
RANKED NON-CON MATCHUPS
The last time the Huskies faced a ranked non-conference opponent was twice in 2019 vs. then-No. 18 Denver and at No. 16 Michigan State prior to the match at No. 3 Indiana. Under head coach Jamie Clark, the Huskies are 8-4-1 all-time in ranked regular season non-conference matchups.
 
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE
Since 1997, the Huskies have posted a 180-64-20 overall record at Husky Soccer Stadium, winning at least eight matches in 13 seasons including a 10-1-2 mark in 2013. Last season, the Huskies set a new program record for single-match attendance when 3,876 people came to see Washington take on Seattle U in the Fewing Cup.
 
SPREADING THE WEALTH
The Huskies have seen nine different goal scorers this season accounting for 12 goals. Four Huskies - Mani Diop, Harrison Bertos, Charlie Kosakoff and Nick O'Brien have all scored their first career goals this season.
