SEATTLE – Washington took the lead eight minutes into Sunday’s matchup with New Mexico State and never looked back, handing the Aggies their first loss of the season.

The Huskies came right at the Aggies as soon as the whistle sounded and jumped ahead less than eight minutes in as Kelsey Branson’s rebound was pounced on by Shell, firing the ball into the vacant goal.
