SEATTLE – The Washington women's soccer team is back home at Husky Soccer Stadium this weekend as California and No. 14 Stanford come into town.
 
The Huskies (2-5-3, 0-1-2 Pac-12) look to bounce back from a 0-1-1 road trip at Colorado and Utah this past week.

Olivia Sekany had a career performance against Utah, on a career high nine saves to preserve the 1-1 tie. Her nine saves tied for fifth most saves by a Pac-12 goalkeeper so far this season.

Thursday's matchup against the Golden Bears (5-2-3, 1-1-1 Pac-12) is slated for 7:00 p.m. and will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.
 
On Sunday, No. 14 Stanford (8-3-0, 2-1-0 Pac-12) will kickoff with the Dawgs at 12:00 p.m. and will also be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.
 
Spectators attending soccer matches at Husky Soccer Stadium will need to provide proof of vaccination or proof of a negative COVID test at any of the venue entrances. All venue entrances open one hour prior to the event's start time.
