The Washington Huskies men’s soccer team landed in the rankings for the first time this season at No. 24 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll while coming in as the top team receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches poll. Led by coach Jamie Clark, who is in year No. 12 at the helm, the team has started the season strong with a 2-1-2 record and has gone unbeaten in four straight matches.
Over that streak, the Huskies have recorded a 1-0 upset victory over No. 4 Oregon State and a 2-2 draw with No. 9 Denver.

Clark has led the team to 10 NCAA trips to the NCAA Tournament in his career, and in 2023, he led the Huskies to 2-0 victories over both national championship finalists, Maryland and Akron.
With 24 players returning this year, the Huskies are led by senior all-conference honoree Chris Meyers, who was named Top Drawer Soccer’s player of the week and to the national team of the week following three consecutive matches with an assist.
