Washington wins battle of the Huskies
The post-Pac-12 championship honeymoon ended pretty quickly for Washington. The Huskies shot out to a 2-0 record, but a shocking 2-1 overtime loss to unheralded St. Mary’s (CA)(m) at home on Sept. 7 provided a unwelcome jolt. The next opportunity for redemption came in the form of a battle with No. 23 Connecticut on Friday, and Washington didn’t waste the opportunity. A 4-1 win that was every bit as comprehensive as the scoreline suggested was just what the doctor ordered. Another 4-1 win against Penn followed two days later.
