Never has a battle between the Washington and Seattle University women’s soccer teams meant more.
One team’s season will continue and one will end Saturday night after the Huskies (11-6-2) host the Redhawks (12-7-2) in an opening-round game of the NCAA tournament. Game time is 6 p.m. at Husky soccer field.
“I think it’s going to be a battle of two great teams, and I know that the athletes are looking forward to the competition,” said Seattle University coach Julie Woodward, who is in her 23rd season and has led the Redhawks into the NCAA tournament five of the past seven years.
