The 10-game win streak to start the season is the longest win streak to open the season since the Huskies went 10-0 to begin the 1997-98 campaign. It's the third time in program history Washington has gone 10-0 to start the season. 10 wins also ties for No. 5 on the list of longest win streaks in program history.
The win at No. 21 Washington State on Sunday, Dec. 10 was Washington's first win in Pullman since December 29, 2019, and the first time UW had defeated a ranked opponent on the road since they won at No. 19 Arizona State on January 15, 2017.
