SEATTLE – Washington hits the road to face UCLA on Thursday night at Wallis Annenberg Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and airing on Pac-12 Network.
 
The Huskies enter the matchup with a 5-5-5 overall record and 2-3-2 in Pac-12 action.
 
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 second on the Conference’s clean sheets list (28), two behind Spencer Richey’s Pac-12 record of 30.
 
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE
Since 1997, the Huskies have posted a 181-66-21 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 Fewing Cup (formerly the WAC/101 Club Cup).
 
ROAD DAWGS
Dating back to the 2021 season, the Huskies are 15-1-6 on the road in the regular season. The loan road loss came earlier this year at Seattle U.
 
BUNCHED UP PAC
Five points separate first through fifth place teams heading into the final weekends of the regular season. Oregon State sits on top of the standings with 12 points, but UCLA follows closely behind with 11. The Huskies have eight while Stanford and California are tied with seven. The Pac-12 Champion and NCAA automatic berth is determined by the highest point total at the conclusion of the regular season as there in no conference tournament.
 
SPREADING THE WEALTH
The Huskies have seen 13 different goal scorers this season accounting for 20 goals. Six Huskies – Mani Diop, Harrison Bertos, Charlie Kosakoff, Nick O’Brien, Sean Sent and Jack Maguire have all scored their first career goals this season. In addition, eight Huskies have made their first career starts this season – Harrison Bertos, Cooper Brunell, Joe Dale, Mani Diop, Mark Gallagher, Charlie Kosakoff, Jack Maguire and Nick O’Brien.
