UW Women Down Arkansas in Soccer Season Opener "Frimpong nets hat trick in 12th-ranked Huskies' 4-1 win." "Solo saved three first-half shots, including a diving denial of Colleen Redmond's penalty kick in the 30th minute. The senior from Richland (Wash.) High School pushed her career total to 252 saves, eclipsing the previous UW record of 250 established by Tina Thompson (1994-96). Solo now owns every career goalkeeping record at Washington, including 16 shutouts and a 0.94 goals against average."
Hi UWHusky--did you see the game? Solo and Frimpong were impressive in the first half but all in all I have to say it was disappointing. I don't know much about either team but that score is deceptive. I realize that UW is ranked 12 in one poll but honestly, that's a reach. I was expecting more. Arkansas came out flat the first half--REALLY flat. Like cones. There was really no game at all first half. Arkansas was much improved 2nd half but..... too late and they don't have the horses. Maybe UW was just not feeling any urgency. Hopefully the coach can get the revved before the next game!!!
clare rustad! hey there- thought i would post here and wish clare a great season w/the huskies!!! i believe she'll be back with the team after the u19 championships are complete, and hopefully she'll have a solid year!!! if any of you attend any of the games, and sees clare, do tell her that elaine from toronto says 'hey!!!' elaine
Unfortunately no. I'm not in Seattle until Sept 26, the first day to move into the dorms. I'll keep that in mind. I'm not exactly anticipating seeing her, but each year the team has a Fan Appreciation game or something where they sign autos after the game. Maybe I'll see her there. If so, I'll deliver your message!
Huskies blank Colorado College 5-0 "Taylor Hat Trick, Bennett's Four Assists Highlight Women's Soccer Win" kareena, did you catch this game? If so, any thoughts?
Sorry, no I didn't. All in all tho this has been a good weekend for them. Better than for most ranked teams!! It may not mean much but they ought to move up int he rankings. My only concern would be that they will go into next weekend flat because this weekend was obviously no competiton. However they should have Clare back.
Yeah, they sounded like very solid wins. Next week, though, certainly promises to be tougher as they travel to North Carolina to face UNC and Duke. I don't know much about Duke's program, but UNC is, well, UNC. We may be without Hope Solo too if she makes the cuts for the Nats, but against a team like Carolina, I don't think it'll make much of a difference.
UW Women Come Back From 2-Goal Deficit to Defeat No. 17 Duke "Nicole Martinez nets golden goal in 4-3 Husky win." Next up is UNC. Well, what can I say? We've got nothing to lose. Whether or not Hope Solo's in goal will be determined tomorrow.
UW's Hope Solo to Start Sunday for U.S. National Team So Hope will be in Columbus, and not in Carolina.
UW outplayed Duke in the second half only, with Duke controlling things in the 1st half+overtimes. UW got back in the game and then won on set piece goals (corners), despite Duke outshooting them (16-12). The winning goal in OT was stunning because UW looked gassed; they did not sub that much during a long game. Duke was also missing their starting International keeper (Helgadottir). I think UW is going to have a fair bit of trouble with UNC, and would have that even without Solo. Of note in the PAC10-ACC contests, UCLA also came back from a 2-goal deficit to beat Virginia 4-3 in 1 OT.

Top-Ranked North Carolina Downs UW Women in Soccer "No. 11 Huskies fall 5-1 while Solo plays for National Team." Huskies now at 3-1; Solo taking a lot of flak for her performance for the Nats. Thanks for the pics, GoCourage.
More Problems for UW The Huskies continue to have problems, having to settle for a tie with CSU Fullerton after losing to a Denver University team that was lucky to have gotten a tie with an undermanned USD team earlier. http://www.collegesports.com/sports/w-soccer/stories/091502acu.html
UW Hosts Women's Soccer Tournament This Weekend "The 21st-ranked Washington women's soccer team (3-2-1) seeks to halt a three-game winless streak this weekend as it hosts the eighth-annual Husky/Nike Invitational." Friday, September 20 -- UC Irvine vs. #5 Portland, 4:30 p.m. PDT -- #21 Washington vs. Harvard, 7:00 p.m. PDT Sunday, September 22 -- Harvard vs. #5 Portland, 11:00 a.m. PDT -- #21 Washington vs. UC Irvine, 1:30 p.m. PDT I graduated HS with a girl who went on to play for UC Irvine, but I don't think she's playing for them anymore. I wonder what ever happened to her. In any case, I just hope that the Anteaters aren't much better than they were the last time we met.

Texas Game Although out-shot 31-13, the Huskies were able to hold on for a 1-1 tie. Here is the UW account of the game. http://www.collegesports.com/sports/w-soccer/stories/092702ack.html
Thanks, Tsunami, for the update. With all the craziness of moving back into the dorms and readjusting to college life, I forgot about the game until I received the email about you responding to this thread. I guess I can be satisfied with a tie since Texas is ranked 3rd. With 10 saves, including 3 in OT, is Hope Solo increasing her worth?
UW Women's Soccer Falls to No. 7 Texas A&M in Overtime "16th-ranked Huskies lose 2-1 despite 12 Solo saves." Shots - UW 6, UT 24 This must be what they mean when they say "Hope will keep you in games." Sounds like she certainly did here...well, until 4 seconds left in OT.
Portland game Huskies are blanked 4-0 by #4 Portland, as Christine Sinclair gets two more goals. Hope Solo had six saves and has made 28 saves in her last 3 games. http://www.collegesports.com/sports/w-soccer/stories/100502aao.html
Oregon State game The Huskies defeat the Beavers 3-1, as Melissa Bennett breaks the team single season record for assists with her 13th. http://www.collegesports.com/sports/w-soccer/stories/101302acy.html
"I think the key to the game was in the second half with the score tied 1-1 when Hope Solo made a world-class save, which is not uncommon for her - she's a great keeper," OSU coach Steve Fennah said. "I think Washington won the game with that save. If we go up 2-1 on that shot, I think it's a different game at that point. "People sometimes say 'the keeper saved the game', and that was the case with that play." With the 2-1 victory over Oregon, (http://www.collegesports.com/sports/w-soccer/stories/101102adt.html, where Bennett assisted on both goals), Huskies open the Pac-10 2-0. Next up are the Cougs, who beat OSU and tied Oregon.
hey! thanks for the on-going updates on the huskies! i do appreciate it!!! just a generic question, but how is clare doing? i know at the beginning of the season she was not starting all of the games, and i read she started the last game vs. oregon...have you seen her play? just curious...i like to keep tabs on how my canucks are doing! thanks again! keep the updates coming! elaine
Hey, Elo! Huskies have been out of town since before school started, so I haven't seen them yet this year. And they're not coming back for another couple of weeks. When they do come back, I'll be sure to let you know how Clare is doing. I'm glad to hear someone actually visits this thread besides Tsunami and myself! Any updates can be found at http://gohuskies.ocsn.com/, and I will continue to post them. And when the Huskies (finally) come home, I will post what I see. Becky
