The winner will face Pepperdine's Josh Anderson later this afternoon. Anderson beat incoming UW freshman Chris Williams, 2 and 1, earlier this morning. Williams, the No. 2 seed, advanced to the quarterfinals after beating former Seattle Mariners pitch Erik Hanson, 5 and 4, on Thursday.

Meanwhile, on the Nationwide Tour, Alex Prugh made a huge move on the rest of the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic Presented by Samsung field today, shooting 5-under par in the second round. He started the day tied for 70th and moved all the way up to 24th. Husky senior Chris Killmer is on the bag for Prugh this weekend.

By the way, Prugh is third overall on the money list for the Tour. He has four top-10 finishes in 12 events he has played so far this year.
