SEATTLE, Wash. – The Yale women's soccer team blanked Seattle University, 4-0, at Championship Stadium. With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 2-1-1, while the Redhawks fell to 2-4 overall.

"That was a big win for our group," said
Sarah Martinez, Loring Family Head Coach. "To respond after a tough loss Friday, keep a shutout, and put four away is huge growth for our program. Obviously, this trip was a homecoming for me and a few players. To get our first road win since 2019, and the first for me as head coach, was truly special. This group has a lot of depth, and as I have said many times, I'm fired up to keep growing together."
