ABOUT THE MATCHUPS
The Cougars hit the road for the first time in 2018 with a trip to Minneapolis to take on Iowa and Minnesota at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium. The Big 10 foes come into the weekend unbeaten as Iowa went 1-0-1 on opening weekend with a win over Creighton while Minnesota went 2-0-0 and took down Utah and Utah State. For the Cougars, their matchup with Iowa marks the first-ever meeting between the two schools. On Sunday, the Cougars meet the Gophers in a rematch of an epic battle from last season in Pullman. The Gophers came into the season opening contest ranked No. 19 in the country and WSU was able to battle them to a 0-0 draw. In the last three meetings between the two sides the Cougars and Gophers have played even, each taking one win to go along with last season's draw.
LAST TIME OUT
The Cougars started the season a perfect 2-0 beating Seattle, 3-1, and Grand Canyon, 1-0 OT, at Lower Soccer Field. Against Seattle,
Morgan Weaver put on a show as the junior scored a pair of goals and assisted on the would-be game-winner as WSU tallied three unanswered strikes to win. Sunday, a dominating effort found the Cougars outshooting GCU 24-2 but struggling to find the back of the net. Freshman
Molly Myers put an end to the madness in the second minute of overtime to grab her first collegiate goal and the win for WSU.
HARO NAMED PAC-12 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
For the second time in her career, junior
Maddy Haro captured Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week recognition, earning the first award of the season in the conference. Haro led the Cougs to a pair of wins on opening weekend including a shutout of GCU in which her defense allowed just two total shots. Additionally, Haro was the catalyst to the Cougars' offense, assisting on three of the four goals scored over the weekend including the game-winner in overtime against Grand Canyon.
