EAST LANSING, Mich. – Washington fell behind early and was unable to climb out of the hole on Sunday, having its 10-match unbeaten streak snapped at No. 2 Michigan State on a 3-0 scoreline at DeMartin Stadium.

The Huskies were forced to play from behind for nearly the entirety of the match after Ella Janz slotted home Faith George's cutback to put the Spartans up 1-0.

UW keeper Tanner Ijams continued to be tested early in the half, keeping the deficit at one with multiple saves inside the first 15 minutes.

After the early offensive barrage from MSU, the UW offense began to grow into the match, creating chances of their own to threaten the Spartan goal.

Washington's best look at the equalizer came in the 26^th minute. Angelica Chou used her strength to win a loose ball at midfield, dishing off to a streaking Alex Buck down the wing. Buck laid off the Jadyn Holdenried, who's bullet strike from the top of the 18 was tipped over the net by Spartan keeper Noelle Henning.

Possession evened out through the remainder of the opening 45, with both sides creating a handful of half chances, but the score remained at 1-0 heading into the break.

Looking to draw level after the restart, instead the Spartans doubled their lead in the 61^st minute as Lacey Kindel corralled a loose ball in the box and buried her shot in the corner.

12 minutes later, Michigan State added a third when Grace Jackson was able to just slip a shot past a charging Ijams, scoring on the vacant net to make it 3-0, the eventual final score.

Finishing off a long road trip with a 1-1-1 record, Washington returns home Friday, hosting USC for a 7:00 p.m. PT kickoff at Husky Soccer Stadium. It will be UW's Welcome Back Dawg Pack match, welcoming students back to campus.
