How many weeks in a row can I start dots by talking about whether the offensive line is healthy or if Demond Williams can start to make better decisions in the pocket? Not today, Satan! Washington used to be a football school, but perhaps now it is becoming a futbol school. The Husky Men’s Soccer team, the defending National Champions, pulled off a big and dramatic win in the Big 10 TournamentSemifinals over Rutgers. The Huskies equalized after Rutgers took the lead early in the second half. The teams played two overtime periods, but remained level going into PKs. The Huskies pulled it out 3-2 on penalties. The win sends them to Bloomington to play #3 Indiana for the Big 10 Championship.

In other positive news away from the football field, Husky Women’s Basketball officially signed twohighly rated recruits. Jessie Moses is a potential future star. She is a five-star recruit from IMG Academy in Florida, the #30 recruit in the country and the #2 combo guard. It’s easy to see how she could slot into the Sayvia Sellers role down the road. The Dawgs also signed Ze’Ni Patterson, a four-star guard, #86 in the country, and renowned for her defensive prowess in addition to her scoring.

Early in last week’s game against Penn St, the Huskies showed success in the running game that has been elusive for most of the year. Jayden Limar, Demond Williams, and Geirean Hatchett spoke to the media on Wednesday about what it has taken to get the running game on track during the year. Certainly, the reintegration of a healthy Limar has been a positive. The running game will be important on Saturday because rush defense is one of the few strengths of a Michigan St team that the Dawgs absolutely must beat to reach bowl eligibility.

Just like Women’s Basketball, Wednesday was also signing day for Softball recruits and the Huskies welcomed four new players. The class includes two position players and two pitchers. D1Softball ranks it as the #20 class in the country and #3 in the Big 10.
