UW Heads To New Mexico To Face Lobos

SEATTLE – The Huskies are set to face New Mexico in Albuquerque on Sunday morning at 11:00. UW is looking to bounce back after a tough 1-0 home loss to Portland on Thursday night.
 
In Thursday's contest, UW out-shot Portland 15-4 but couldn't find the back of the net. Claudia Longo earned her first career start while Summer Yates had six shots in total on the night as well as having two opportunities rattle off the post in the opening 45 minutes.

The Huskies have created many chances at goal in the first four games of the year (46 shot attempts), but look to turn more of those opportunities into goals.
