Seattle U in the news: "Never has a battle between the Washington and Seattle University women’s soccer teams meant more."

November 15, 2019

Scott Hanson at The Seattle Times previewed this Saturday's first round NCAA Tournament match between the Seattle U and UW women's soccer teams.

"One team’s season will continue and one will end Saturday night after the Huskies (11-6-2) host the Redhawks (12-7-2) in an opening-round game of the NCAA tournament. Game time is 6 p.m. at Husky soccer field," wrote Hanson. 

Additional excerpts:

"Seattle U, which won the Western Athletic Conference regular season and tournament titles, has not had a losing season in a decade. But the Redhawks have never beaten the Huskies, a No. 4 seed in the tournament. The teams played to a scoreless tie at the end of the August, which was a milestone for Seattle U after losing the school’s previous 13 matchups.

"Woodward said getting a draw against the Huskies is good for her players’ mentality going into Saturday’s game, but there is no question the Redhawks are the underdogs."
