SEATTLE – Senior midfielder Whitney Kanavel scored on a penalty kick in the 106th minute of play to lift the Arizona State women’s soccer team to a 2-1 upset win over No. 18 Washington on Thursday night.
It was the first Pac-12 win of the season for the Sun Devils (5-7-1, 1-4-1 Pac-12), who started the season 4-0, then lost seven straight while dealing with several injuries over the last month. Although they did not get a win on last week’s road trip to Los Angels – a 2-1 loss at USC and a 1-1 tie at UCLA – the Sun Devils started to show flashes of the team that outscored its first four opponents 16-0.
