SEATTLE – No. 13 Washington continued its winning ways on Wednesday, taking down Seattle U 3-1 at Husky Soccer Stadium. The victory keeps the Fewing Cup on Montlake and improves UW’s record in the series to 9-2.
Washington improves to 8-3-2 on the season with the win.
The Huskies wasted no time in getting the party started. Wyatt Lewis opened the scoring just 68 seconds into the match, collecting his own rebound and firing it home for the first goal of the match.
It was Lewis’ first goal as a Husky and gave the Dawgs the lead barely a minute into the contest.
The next goal was another first, as Cameron Cruz bagged his first collegiate goal in the 43rd minute. Zach Ramsey played a free kick into the box where it was headed up by Kevin Hernandez. Cameron Cruz caught the airborne ball with a bicycle kick, sending it to the near post.
The acrobatic strike doubled the lead for Washington just before halftime.
Washington was the aggressor in first half, tallying 11 shots to Seattle U’s zero.
The Huskies brought home the third goal of the match in the 73rd minute off a beautifully worked run of play. At the top of the box, Zach Ramsey slid a pass along to Clarens Dollin who passed it right back to Ramsey as he diced through the Seattle U defenders. Ramsey came up with the ball with a clear look on goal and just the keeper to beat.
Washington’s star striker buried the shot, netting his 16th goal of the season. The strike ties him for fourth in Washington’s record book for goals in a season and is the joint-most in a season since David Berto scored 17 goals in 1989.
Seattle U would go on to pull a goal back in the 88th minute, but it wouldn’t be enough to alter the result.
Washington dominated across the 90 minutes, outshooting Seattle U 18-4 and collecting 10 corners to the visitors’ four.
Stockton Short made his return in goal, playing the full 90 minutes while making one save. Egor Akulov, Connor Lofy, Wyatt Lewis, and Gabe Fernandez each chipped in 90 minutes of game time as well.
Washington has the weekend off before returning to Big Ten action at Michigan and Michigan State next week.
