M Stephanie Verdoia, Seattle – Once again Seattle looks like the cream of the WAC crop and it’s in large part thanks to Verdoia’s heroics over the past week that saw them start the conference slate with a bang In a pair of wins, Verdoia put up a total of three goals and three assists, including a seven-point output against CSU Bakersfield on Sunday.
