SEATTLE – No. 7 Washington claimed another Big Ten victory on Friday night, defeating No. 11 Maryland 2-1 at Husky Soccer Stadium.

Washington improves to 10-3-3 with the win and 6-1-2 in conference play.

Following Indiana's win, Washington and Indiana are tied atop the conference standings with one game to play. The Big Ten conference regular season championship will come down to the final day of action, with both UW And IU looking to claim the championship.

With a win over UCLA and a IU loss or tie to Michigan State, Washington would become the 2026 Big Ten regular season champion and the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.

The Huskies earned a huge win in the conference standings on Friday, taking down No. 11 Maryland 2-1 thanks to goals from Zach Ramsey and Jake Goetting.

Despite being outshot 10-5 in the first half, Washington held a 1-0 lead into the break. In the second half, the Dawgs poured on 10 more shots and were rewarded with a second goal.

Jake Goetting fired in his second screamer in as many days, curling in a top corner strike with his left foot. The freshman was assisted by both Callum Lugton and Egor Akulov on the play and ultimately scored the match-winning goal.

Maryland went on to pull one back in the 71^st minute, bringing the match back within reach. But the Washington defense held firm.

Stockton Short recorded a season-high seven saves as the Huskies faced 19 shots, eight of which were on goal and earned a huge 2-1 victory over Maryland.
