Softball
A two-run home run from fifth-year senior Morganne Flores in the first inning put the UW ahead for good, as it was easy cruising the rest of the way with Gabbie Plain (15-0) throwing another complete game shutout.

Thursday’s first set looked eerily familiar to last weekend’s game against Stanford, but after improving hitting, no sets fell out of the Huskies’ hands all night.

DAWGS WIN!!

After entering the Pac-12 slate two games above .500, the UW had been swept by both USC and No. 21 Oregon State, making it 19 days since Washington had registered a win.
Washington kicked off its series with No. 10 UCLA by stunning the Bruins with an 8-6 upset win Thursday
Facing a top-10 UCLA squad, it looked unlikely that @UW_Baseball would snap its seven-game losing streak.

Women’s Soccer
After their sole loss of the season to Stanford on March 12, Washington wasted no time getting back to winning ways: downing Washington State in the Apple Cup, then beating Utah 1-0 in a hard-fought matchup.
The Huskies take on the USC Trojans (4-3-1, 3-3 Pac-12) on Friday, April 2, at 6 p.m., followed by No. 5 UCLA (8-1-1, 5-1 Pac-12) on Sunday, April 4, at 2 p.m.
