SEATTLE – No. 15 Washington secured a point in Big Ten play against No. 19 Wisconsin as the two teams battled to a 0-0 draw at Husky Soccer Stadium on Friday night.

Washington moves to 6-3-2 and 3-1-1 in conference contests.

The key moment of the first half came in the 31st minute when Stockton Short was assessed a red card for a hand ball outside the goalkeeper box. The card was given after a video review and later deemed by the referees to be a denial of a goalscoring opportunity.

Kenny Pierpoint entered the match at that point, and the Huskies played the remainder of the contest down a player.

Despite the disadvantage, Washington maintained an aggressive approach, outshooting the Badgers in both the first and second halves.

After the halftime break, Washington turned up the pressure even more. In the second half, the Huskies outshot the Badgers 10-3. In total, Washington levied 13 efforts at the Wisconsin goal against five from the visitors.

Washington also took six corners in the match, compared to one from Wisconsin.

The Huskies had a number of near misses in the match, but ultimately couldn't find a winner. Despite playing down a man for nearly 60 minutes of the match, Washington comes away with a point in Big Ten play.

Carter Gay made his first start for Washington, featuring in the attack. However, due to the red card, his night was cut short as he made way for Kenny Pierpoint.

Kevin Hernandez and Shaun Brun played the complete second half while Harrison Bertos, Asher Hestad, Zach Ramsey, Alex Hall, Zack Meier, and Wyatt Lewis each played the full 90.

This match was the second of the season in which Stockton Short and Kenny Pierpoint combined for a shutout after the pair blanked Gonzaga earlier this year. It's also the fourth shutout the Huskies have kept in 2026.

Washington returns to action next weekend against Northwestern at Husky Soccer Stadium on Saturday.
