The University of Washington department of athletics held a special celebration of Seattle soccer during Sounders/Reign Night on Thursday, October 19, 2017. Both UW men's and women's programs played host to the defending NCAA Champions in a doubleheader that saw activations celebrating the 2016 MLS Cup Champions Seattle Sounders FC along with Seattle Reign FC. Fans in attendance were able to take photos with the MLS Cup, along with former Husky and current Sounder Cristian Roldan and his teammate Jordan Morris.

The night started with Women's Soccer's clash against sixth-ranked USC. It proved to be a defensive battle, with just a few shots on goal the entire game for both sides. The Huskies ultimately fell, 2-0, to the reigning NCAA Champions, allowing multiple goals in a game for just the third time this season.

Former Husky Cristian Roldan and former Stanford soccer student-athlete Jordan Morris now compete side-by-side as part of Seattle Sounders FC. That did not stop the pair from engaging in a friendly wager prior to that night's clash between Washington and Stanford.
