UW heads to Wazzu
October 29, 2004
The Washington women's soccer team (12-3-1, 3-2-1 Pac-10) travels to Pullman this weekend for their final road game of the season.
The No. 6 Huskies play Washington State (7-6-3, 2-3-1 Pac-10) today at 2 p.m.
Last weekend, the UW women swept the Oregon schools, led by the play of senior forward Tina Frimpong.
Named the Pac-10's Player of the Week for her efforts against both Oregon State and Oregon, Frimpong set up Nikki Gamble for the game-winning goal three minutes into the second overtime during last Friday's 3-2 win over Oregon State.
Against Oregon on Sunday, Frimpong added yet another assist and broke the all-time Husky record for points, helping the Huskies achieve a 4-1 victory with her goal. Frimpong's career total of 83 points eclipses the previous record of 80, achieved by former Husky Theresa Wagner, who played from 1997 to 2000.
Washington owns a 7-4-2 lead in the all time series with the most recent match a 2-2 tie last year in Pullman. The Huskies are winless in their last three trips to Pullman, including a 2-2 tie in 2002, which followed 1-0 losses in both 2000 and 1998.
The Cougars tied 1-1 with Oregon and lost 1-0 to Oregon State last weekend, finding themselves seventh in the conference.
Junior forward Alix Rostrum leads WSU in goals this season with eight, tying her for fifth place in the Pac-10. Junior goalkeeper Katie Hultin has six shutouts on the season with a 0.98 goals against average.
Frimpong paces the Huskies in scoring this season with nine goals. Senior Gamble is second with eight and leads the team in assists with five. Sophomore goalkeeper Kelsey Rasmussen has a 1.26 goals against average and has tallied shut-outs against five opponents.
The Huskies return to home next weekend for their final two regular season games against No. 17 Stanford and California.
