Washington, Seattle U Play To 1-1 Draw In Capitol Hill
August 28, 2025 | Women's Soccer
SEATTLE – Kelsey Branson's first half header gave Washington a halftime lead Thursday night in Capitol Hill but a last-gasp goal from Seattle U forced the Huskies to settle for a 1-1 draw at Championship Field.
With the draw, Washington maintains control of the WAC/101 Club Cup for a fifth consecutive year.
The Huskies dominated play for most of the night, doubling up the Redhawks in shots, 22-11. SU keeper Kassidy Kirgan made eight stops on the night to keep the Redhawks in the affair for the last-second stunner.
Playing on the front foot right from the opening whistle, the Dawgs broke through off a set piece from the corner flag in the 23rd minute. After Laura Cetina sent in the delivery to the far post, meeting Anna Menti's head, the junior sent the ball back across the frame of goal where Kelsey Branson flicked the ball off the left post and in.
SU looked poised to level the match much earlier after intercepting the ball in the attacking third in the 72nd minute. Abbie Mai had the ball served on a platter inside the six but Tanner Ijams stood tall with a point-blank save to preserve the lead.
Washington returns to action with another in-state battle on Sunday, heading to Spokane to take on Gonzaga for a 1:00 p.m. PT kickoff. The match will be available for streaming on ESPN+.

The Huskies kept on the attack and had several quality looks at the Seattle U goal, but a dogged defensive effort from the Redhawks and Kirgan's heroics between the pipes kept the lead at 1-0.Two heads are better than one!

However, with the clock ticking down toward triple zeroes, the Redhawks heaved a last ditch effort into the box and Bella Bonnett met it, bulging the back of the net to steal the victory away from UW.Tanner with a point-blank save to preserve the lead!
