Huskies Down No. 16 Furman To Reach Second-Ever National Championship Match
December 12, 2025 | Men's Soccer
CARY, N.C. β The Huskies earned a decisive College Cup victory on Friday, taking down Furman 3-1 to advance to the National Championship match. It's Washington's second time reaching the College Cup final in the last five years.
Β
The Huskies improve to 15-6-2 with the win. The Dawgs will face the NC StateΒ on Monday evening at First Horizon Stadium in Cary, N.C.
Β
Washington was dominant all match long, stifling the Furman attack while launching an onslaught on the offensive end. Washington fired 24 shots across the 90 minutes, the second most the Huskies have tallied in a game all season long.
Β
Zach Ramsey opened the scoring in the 32nd minute slotting home a ball from Alex Hall to put the Huskies in front. It was Ramsey's seventh goal of the season and Hall's eighth assist.
Β
Only eight minutes later, Charlie Kosakoff doubled the lead and scored the eventual game winner.
Β
Asher Hestad played a long ball up the field that forced a Furman defender to miss-hit a header. Kosakoff collected the ball and evaded the defender before rounding the keeper and firing in his 11th goal of the season.
Β
Washington took the lead into the break with a 12-2 advantage in shots.
Β
The Huskies worked hard defensively in the second half and prevented any momentum from the Paladins. Washington again launched 12 shots in the final 45, and found the back of the net one more time.
Β
In the 86th minute, Charlie Kosakoff passed a ball across the top of the box to find a streaking Asher Hestad. The Sophomore defender took a touch before lacing a thundering ball into the top of the net.
Β
It was Hestad's second career goal and it put the Dawgs firmly in front with just minutes remaining in the match.
Β
Furman pulled one back a minute later, but the result was all but sealed at that point. Washington saw out the final ticks of the clock and secured a 3-1 result over another ranked opponent.
Β
Jadon Bowton, Harrison Bertos, Egor Akulov, Connor Lofy, and Gabe Fernandez each played the full 90 minutes. Alex Hall, Nick O'Brien, and Zack Meier each featured as substitutes in the game as well.
