• The Huskies lead the Pac-12 and are ranked seventh in the NCAA in goals scored (19).
• Sophomore Lucas Meek leads the team with five goals after scoring in each game last week. Meek is tied with two other players for the NCAA lead with four match-winning goals, despite playing 102 minutes (just over 18 minutes on average) in six matches this year.

• Washington has just one loss in its last 13 matches (11-1-1) dating back to last season.
• Jamie Clark moved into second on Washington's list of all-time winningest coaches with the 5-0 win over UCLA on Sunday. Clark, who earned his 100th UW win in the Huskies' 2-1 win over Denver, is 106-43-20 (.686 winning percentage) in nine season with the Huskies and is the third coach in program history to win 100+ games (Dean Wurzberger 220, Mike Ryan 105).
• Ten different Huskies have scored goals this season while 14 different players have recorded a point. Freshman Imanol Rosales and sophomore Freddy Kleemann each picked up their first collegiate goals vs UCLA Sunday.
The Portland Pilots At A Glance
The Pilots have faced a tough opening schedule, posting a 4-2-1 against some formidable foes. Portland has played five of its seven matches at home, posting a 3-1-1 record at Merlo Field. In two road matches, the Pilots suffered a 2-0 loss at Seattle, but an impressive 1-0 win at Wisconsin.
Portland has posted similar numbers to the Huskies' this year, outscoring opponents 13-4 with nine different players finding the back of the net The Pilots received a first-place vote and were selected to finish second in the WCC this season by the league's eight head coaches.
Series History vs. Portland
UW leads the all-time series 28-20-4 (2-2-1 under Jamie Clark) including a 13-8-3 record in matches Seattle. Portland got a 1-0 victory at home over UW last season, scoring in the 21st minute and holding off a Husky charge at the end for the win. The last meeting in Seattle came in 2015 with the teams playing to a scoreless draw.
Meek's STILL A Goal-Scoring Machine!
Redshirt sophomore Lucas Meek continued to score early and often for the Huskies, netting a goal in each match last week. Against SDSU on Sunday, Meek scored six minutes into the contest. He bettered that with a goal just 47 seconds in against UCLA on Sunday, netting his fourth match-winner of the season already.
Meek's four match-winning goals are tied for the best in the NCAA and the sophomore ranks second in the Pac-12 with five goals on the year. All of that while playing in just 102 minutes–a little over 18 minutes per game. Meek seems to come into the game, score a goal, then rest for the remainder of the match.
Meek redshirted his first year, played three minutes in one match last year as a freshman, and was down on the depth chart to start the year this season. His first action in 2019 came in mop-up time in a 4-0 win over San Francisco in the second match of the year. He came on in the 41st minute at No. 16 Michigan State, then scored two minutes later and didn't play again in the second half. He did not play at Michigan, but then came in late in the match at CSUN and scored UW's only goal in the 80th minute.
Gotta Get That First One
Washington continues to find success when scoring the first goal of the match. Going back to last season, the Huskies are 17-1-0 when scoring the match's first goal with the lone loss coming in a double OT defeat vs Stanford. This season, UW is 6-0-0 when scoring first.
The bigger story, though, was that after allowing the opening goal against Denver, the Huskies pulled out the victory. That marked the first time Washington had won after allowing the first goal since Oct 1, 2017. The Huskies had lost their last nine matches when surrendering the first goal, and were 0-6-0 in 2018 in such matches.
Spread The Wealth
The Huskies have scored 19 goals in eight matches thus far with 10 different players finding the back of the net. Lucas Meek leads the team with five goals with three others scoring twice. Meanwhile, 14 different players have tallied a point so far with Dylan Teves leading the way with five (5a). This past week, freshman Imanol Rosales and sophomore Freddy Kleemann recorded their first collegiate goals to add to the tally. All told, five different Huskies have scored their first collegiate goals this season.
That Offense!
Washington's offense has been clicking on all cylinders through much of the season, scoring 19 goals in eight matches to lead the Pac-12 and rank seventh in the NCAA in total goals. The Huskies also rank seventh nationally in total assists (20), total points (58), eighth in points per game (7.25) and 11th in scoring offense (2.38 goals per game).
Clark Wins #100 at UW; Moving Up the Ranks
Jamie Clark picked up his 100th win at UW as the Huskies beat No. 18 Denver 2-1 in the season-opener on Aug. 30. With the victory he becomes the third coach in program history with at least 100 wins (Dean Wurzberger 220, Mike Ryan 105).
In UW's 5-0 win over UCLA, Clark moved into second on the all-time wins list at Washington, picking up his 106th "W" through nine seasons. With the Huskies, Clark is 106-43-20 (.686 winning percentage), with UW having won at least 12 matches in seven of his eight years at the helm. Entering the 2019 season, Clark's .686 career winning percentage was tied for the eighth-best among active NCAA Division I coaches and 40th among DI coaches all-time. He has since bumped it up to .692 with a 145-58-23 record in 12 seasons.
Teves Leads The Offense at Seattle U
Sophomore Dylan Teves had an impressive offensive performance at Seattle U on Sunday, scoring a goal and adding two assists in the Huskies' 3-0 win. The goal–a blast from the top of the box in the 24th minute–was his first of the season. Teves added another assist in the UCLA match to give him six assists, which ranks second in the Pac-12 and eighth in the NCAA.
French Records His First Goal
At Michigan, the Huskies' lone goal came from redshirt junior Kasey French, who joined the rush from his right back position, finishing with a great shot to the far post. French has been a mainstay on defense, amassing 1100 minutes over the last two years, but got his first goal in 31 collegiate matches.
Bodily Bringing In The Honors
Bodily was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy watch list to start the year (awarded to the top college soccer player), becoming the first Husky since Cristian Roldan to earn that honor. In addition, Bodily was a preseason All-Pac-12 selection and earned preseason All-America honors from Top Drawer Soccer (3rd Team) and College Soccer News (2nd Team).
Bodily, a two-time first-team All-Pac-12 pick, scored two goals with four assists in an injury-plagued 2018 season after tallying three goals and a team-best eight assists en route to earning Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors in 2017. In 2019, he has three goals and three assists in four matches.
Fowler in Goal
Freshman netminder Sam Fowler extended his streak of cleansheets to four to open his career, blanking SDSU and UCLA last week. On the year, he is a 4-0-0 with four-straight shutouts, recording seven saves while facing 27 shots.
Fowler earned his first collegiate start in UW's 4-0 victory over San Francisco, becoming just the second freshman to make a start in goal for the Huskies since 2002. The only other freshman to start since '02 was Spencer Richey (2010), who is currently the starting GK for FC Cincinnati (MLS).
Early Road Trip Success
Washington wrapped up its first road trip of the year with an impressive 3-1-0 record with a pair of wins in Michigan and a commanding victory over its crosstown rival Seattle U. The four-game trip is the longest since 2012 when UW played five-straight away from home.
Teves Earns National Recognition
Sophomore Dylan Teves earned an impressive honor this week, being named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week for the week ending Sept. 1. Teves, who was a preseason All-Pac-12 pick, recorded assists on both of Washington's goals in its 2-1 win over Denver on Aug. 30. The sophomore appeared in all but one match for the Huskies as a true freshman in 2018, scoring five goals with two assists.
Soto Earns Freshman Honors
Freshman Christian Soto was named to the Top Drawer Soccer Best Freshman XI Team prior to the season. Soto comes to UW after playing for Crossfire FC with Husky teammates Charlie Ostrem and Ethan Bartlow and earned a USBNT call-up with the U17 National Team Camp in 2016.
Preseason All-Pac-12 Coaches Picks
