Huskies Headed Abroad To Scotland
SEATTLE – In 27 days, the UW men's soccer team embarks on an 10-day tour of Scotland. The trip will take them around the country, while being able to see some of the best soccer stadiums and visit seven cities.
The Huskies will set out on June 28 and will be on the streets of Scotland by June 29, with Glasgow being the first stop. From Glasgow, the Dawgs will travel to Stirling, Aberdeen, Nairn, Dundee, St. Andrew's and Edinburgh, before returning to the U.S. on July 9.
