Washington Closes Regular Season At Oregon State
November 08, 2023 | Men's Soccer
SEATTLE β Washington men's soccer closes out the regular season on Thursday night at Oregon State. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at the Paul Lorez Field and airing on Pac-12 Oregon.
Β
The Huskies enter the matchup with a 5-6-6 overall record and 2-4-3 in Pac-12 action.
Β
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 second on the Conference's clean sheets list (28), two behind Spencer Richey's Pac-12 record of 30.
Β
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE
Since 1997, the Huskies have posted a 181-66-21 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 (formerly the WAC/101 Club Cup).
Β
ROAD DAWGS
Dating back to the 2021 season, the Huskies are 15-2-7 on the road in the regular season.
Β
A LOT TO PLAY FOR
There is a lot on the line for both teams heading into the match. A win for OSU would put them into a tie for first with UCLA in the standings with the Bruins playing their final game on Friday night vs. San Diego State. A win for UW would give them the .500 record needed for consideration for an at-large spot the NCAA Tournament.
