Husky Soccer Concludes East Coast Road Trip With a Loss
BOSTON, Mass. - After an impressive win at UMass on Friday, the Husky women's soccer team dropped its first match of the season, 3-0 at Boston University on Sunday night. The Huskies are now 2-1 while BU improves to 1-2.
Both teams had 13 shots a piece and the Huskies had seven shots on goal, led by senior McKenna Waitley (Coronado, Calif.) with three.
"Boston is a very good team and they are tough," said head coach Lesle Gallimore. "I thought we started the game fine, it went back and forth. With that said, we didn't look composed in front of the net. Once they got a goal we struggled a little bit. The second half we didn't come out the way we are capable of. As a young team it was a gut check and hopefully we can rebound for next week because Syracuse and Wisconsin are two good teams. We are good team too but we are young and we need to rely on the young players to gain experience like they did tonight and use it to our benefit for the next game. Our veterans have to carry the younger players as well. We got to figure out how to combine youth with experience because there is no doubt in my mind that we are good enough to win these games."

The game also marks the return to Provo of UW head coach Steve Sarkisian, who played quarterback for the Cougars in 1995 and 1996. In his two seasons, he completed 549-of-824 passes for 7,755 yards and 55 touchdowns while leading the nation in pass efficiency in 1996. In 1996, Sarkisian earned WAC Offensive Player of the year honors and led the Cougars to a 14-1 record and a victory in the 1997 Cotton Bowl.No. 8 Husky Volleyball Serves Up Sweep of Eastern
The eighth-ranked Huskies wrapped the season-opening Invitational In Seattle, Washington with another convincing sweep, and will venture out on the road carrying a 2-0 record after topping Eastern Washington 25-13, 25-15, 25-13 tonight at Hec Edmundson Pavilion. Washington racked up 14 aces on the night, its most in two years led by the four from senior Becky Perry.
Six Huskies in all had an ace, and five Huskies had multiple service winners. Perry and senior Kindra Carlson (three aces) sent powerful jump serves off the Eagle defenders and into the crowd of 1,876, while senior Jenna Hagglund, junior Bianca Rowland, and redshirt freshman Jenna Orlandini each had two aces with well-placed float serves. The last time the Huskies had 14 aces was back on Sept. 4, 2008 against Gonzaga.
Once they got into the points, the Huskies were no less effective. They hit .393 for the night and caught fire in the third set, hitting a phenomenal .647. Carlson and Perry shared the team lead with eight kills apiece while Rowland had six kills with no errors and five blocks. More
