The Huskies have had a successful spring season despite a 5-0 loss to the Seattle Crossfire Sounders last Saturday in their most recent outing.
UW's varsity squad posted a 1-0 victory on April 28 in the annual Alumni Game behind a second-half goal from Melissa Beal.
Alumni goalkeeper Kelsey Rasmussen, who completed her collegiate career last fall, deflected a hard shot by Bridges. Beal collected the rebound and slid it past the diving Rasmussen for the game-winner.
Taylor Carr played the first half in goal and Lizzy Showman the second, combining for the shutout.
On April 29, the Huskies played to a 0-0 draw with Oregon State. Red-shirt freshman goalkeeper Alex Phillips played well during the second half to preserve the draw.
The UW booters opened their spring session with matching 5-0 victories over Idaho and Western Washington. The Huskies routed their visitors from Bellingham on Saturday (April 21) behind two goals apiece from Bridges and Katy Dowling and a single score by Jenna Robison.
Goalkeepers Phillips and Showman teamed up for the shutout against WWU.
After that win, the Huskies traveled across town to play a night game at Seattle Pacific. The Falcons took advantage of an understandably sluggish UW start to score the game's only goal 10 minutes into the contest.
Carr played the entire game in goal for the Huskies.
