The Washington Huskies were honored with eight All-Academic awards from the Pac-12 today, showing their commitment to excellence in academics. Anissa Dadkhah earned First Team honors, while Kaylene Pang was named to the Second Team. Isabella Castro, Jessika Cowart, Pascale Dumesnil, Lisa Jensen, Taylor Sekyra, and Olivia Van der Jagt all earned Honorable Mention for their work in the classroom. The Huskies have had eight or more All-Academic honorees for ten consecutive years now.

Cassidy Lucht's first year with the Huskies saw her grow into an important midfield role. The freshman saw action in six Pac-12 matches, including playing 47 minutes at Arizona State. In all, Lucht would play 20+ minutes five times. She would help the Huskies earn a win in each of her first two appearances, against Cal State Fullerton and Portland, and ended the year playing just under 200 minutes in her nine total games.

Ruby Hellstrom's collegiate career started with a bang as the freshman scored the game's first goal just minutes after coming onto the pitch against 7 Florida. Hellstrom would provide the Huskies with a bundle of energy off the bench numerous times, adding a second goal against Seattle U just before the final horn. In all, Hellstrom fired 15 shots in her 15 appearances for Washington as a freshman.

Jessica Udovich is looking to return to her excellence in central defense in 2019 after missing the majority of 2018 with injury. Udovich, a 2017 All-Region honoree, made three appearances for the Huskies this season, helping the team record two shutouts in those games. She has started all 23 of her appearances over the last two years. In that time, Udovich has sat for only 69 minutes, playing every minute in 21 games.

Now with a season under her belt, Tasia Kravitz has proven to be a reliable option on defense. As a freshman, Kravitz appeared in eight games for Washington. That included 63 minutes of action at Arizona State, during which Kravitz had a shot. Kravtiz's role grew as the season went on: the freshman appeared in two of Washington's last three games.

The Washington Huskies announced the signing of four freshmen for the 2019 season today, bringing in multiple nationally-ranked players to add to the squad. The Huskies signed Margaux Clarke, Ally Remington, Helena Reischling, and Thao Nguyen. Those four will join a team in 2019 that returns ten goal-scorers from the 2018 season, including four of its top five scorers.
