Thanks largely due to the incredible amount of national exposure of the UW softball team during its NCAA championship run, computer users were checking out GoHuskies.com in record numbers last week - according to a report from Nielsen Online.

The website, which is managed by the UW athletic department in partnership with ISP Sports and CBS College Sports, registered more than 850,000 page views during a seven-day period that ended on Sunday (June 7). The total number of page views completely obliterates the estimated previous best of 520,000 that was recorded during the week of football signing day in 2008.

Nearly 105,000 unique visitors were attracted to GoHuskies.com last week, which also eclipsed the 103,000 previous best during the week of the Boise State football game in 2007.
