Devvyn Hawkins of Olympia returns from injury to score for the second game in a row, a 3-1 Santa Clara win over Michigan in the NCAA quarterfinals. Hawkins, whose head needed 11 stitches after coming out of the second-round win over Arizona State, had also nodded in the winner vs. Nebraska in a third-round win on Nov. 23.

Brent Goulet scores the U.S. opener but then is forced off through injury in a 4-2 Olympic qualifying victory at El Salvador. Goulet takes a feed from Hugo Perez, then beats a defender and the keeper in the fifth minute. He's kneed in the thigh later in the first half and eventually substituted. The win takes the U.S. (3-0-0) to the top of its group.

After returning with a three-game sweep in the Bay Area, Washington goes from unranked to No. 10 in the NSCAA coaches' poll. The Huskies (8-0-1) swept San Francisco (4-0), Cal (4-3) and Stanford (4-2) in five days. They are rated No. 3 by Soccer America.

Western Washington sets a scoring record in a 12-0 men's victory over Northwest College in Bellingham. Scot Swanson scores three goals in the first 25 minutes, and Jay Harper has four assists.

Rosie White scores in her second straight start and Reign FC absorbs Portland pressure without allowing a goal to win, 1-0, before 5,865 at Cheney Stadium. It's the first match back for Allie Long and Jodie Taylor since their World Cup duties were completed. In the 55th minute, Ifeoma Onumonu makes a strong run into the box and then sends a cross far post that was headed back before landing at the feet of White. She gets just enough of a touch to roll the ball past Thorns keeper Adrianna Franch. White, the New Zealand National Team forward signed three weeks earlier, also scored the winner at Houston August 2.

Ravensdale upsets heavily-favored HMS Warspite, 2-1, in the rain and mud of the George Washington Cup final at Lower Woodland. Loren Hill’s penalty kick is the decisive score for Ravensdale, which had not won a league match during the first half of the season. The Miners used kick-and-rush style with great success in cup play, outscoring three foes 11-2. Postscript: The Warspite would soon return to action and eventually earn the most battle honors ever awarded to an individual ship in the Royal Navy.
