Two Late Goals Power Huskies Past Aztecs
Washington used senior Jacob Hustedt's penalty-kick score in the 86th minute, and a header from senior Casey McCool in the 79th minute to come back from a 201 deficit and edge visiting San Diego State. Senior forward Brent Richards opened the day's scoring in the first half off of sophomore Michael Harris' flip throw-in.
