Washington Closes Road Trip At Ohio State
September 03, 2023 | Men's Soccer
SEATTLE – No. 9 Washington concludes the first road trip of the season at Ohio State on Monday. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET and airing on Big Ten Network.
LAST TIME OUT
The Huskies faced their first road test of the season against No. 3 Indiana and came away with the 1-0 victory over the Hoosiers on Friday night to improve to 2-1 on the season. Charlie Kosakoff provided the match-winner in the 77th minute off assists by Cooper Brunell and Richie Aman. Senior goalkeeper Sam Fowler recorded his 27th career clean sheet with a season-high six saves. Under head coach Jamie Clark, the Huskies are 7-4-1 against ranked non-conference opponents during the regular season.
TOP OF THE PAC
For the second year in a row, the Huskies were picked to finish first in the conference in the preseason poll, voted on by the league's six coaches. In addition, four Huskies - Sam Fowler, Nate Jones, Christian Soto and Kalani Kossa-Rienzi - were named to the Pac-12 preseason team.
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 (27, three behind Spencer Richey's Pac-12 record 30) and fourth in GAA (0.72, within range of Andrew Thomas' record 0.67).
THE RETURNERS
Plenty of experience returns for Washington with 27 returners from the 2022 team, including All-Pac-12 selections Nate Jones, Kalani Kossa-Rienzi, Chris Meyers, Imanol Rosales and Christian Soto.
THE NEWCOMERS
The Huskies also brought in some new talent with six freshman and four transfers – Peter Kingston (Seattle U), Mani Diop (Akron), Bryan Iliohan (Cal Baptist) and Conner Leber (Cal Poly). Freshman Charlie Kosakoff joined the program back in January as an early enrollee and played the entire spring season with the team.
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE
Since 1997, the Huskies have posted a 178-63-19 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 WAC/101 Club Cup.
USL2 CHAMPS
Peter Kingston, Khai Brisco and Joe Dale competed with Ballard FC this summer as the squad went on to win the USL2 National Championship with the 2-1 win over Lionsbridge FC on Aug. 5. Kingston scored the match-winning goal in stoppage time on his way to being named MVP. The title is the first for Ballard in its history.
