Washington Men's Basketball Team Improving at Perfect Time

Washington, which was unseeded going into the tournament, became the first team in NCAA tournament history to win six road matches en route to its first-ever national championship. It finished the season 16-6-2. It was the fifth time since Jamie Clark was hired as head coach in 2011 the Dawgs finished with 15 wins or better.

It was the Huskies' second national championship berth in five seasons. They lost to the Clemson Tigers 2-0 in 2021. Washington also made the NCAA tournament in 2024 and lost in the round of 32.

Huskies fans will have an opportunity to celebrate the program's first national championship as the team returns to campus.

Washington will host a welcome-back ceremony for the men's soccer team at 3:45 p.m. PT on Dec. 16 (Tuesday) at Husky Stadium in Seattle.

The entrance for the welcome back ceremony will be at the "Dawg Pack" entrance and will be open to "all Husky fans," according to a post on "X." T-shirts, posters and pom poms will be given out to fans.

The men's team's championship win capped off what was a miracle season for both men's and women's soccer programs.

The women's team advanced all the way to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament before ultimately falling 3-0 to Duke. It was the first quarterfinal berth for the women since 2010. The women's team won its second regular season conference championship in program history and first postseason conference tournament in history en route to the quarterfinal berth.

This season was the third time since 2020 both teams have competed in the respective NCAA tournaments. In two of those seasons (2020, 2025) the two teams made it at least the final 16. It's the first time in Washington Athletics history both programs made it to at least the quarterfinals in the same year.
