- After a week that saw the Huskies set a program record for longest shutout streak and improve to 12-0 on the season, USA Today and the NFCA have named Washington the top team in the nation. The Huskies are ranked #1 in the coaches' poll for the first time since May 2010. Washington has been ranked in the NFCA poll for 150 weeks in a row and in the top ten eight weeks in a row stretching back to last season.The Huskies received 15 first place votes, seven more than any other team in the poll, with Florida receiving nine. UCLA, Oklahoma, and Oregon rounded out the top five. Oklahoma, UCLA, and Texas A&M also received first place votes.Washington is 12-0 this year and leads the nation in batting average (.449) and runs per game (11.44) and is fourth in earned run average (0.29). The Huskies had a streak of 46.0 consecutive innings without allowing a run, breaking a program record set in 1995. Only one of the 12 games for the Huskies this season has gone a full seven innings, with Washington winning by run rule in every other game. Just twice all season have opponents recorded more than two hits in a game against Washington.This week, Washington will take on the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday, February 21 at 3:00 pm. After that road game, it's off to the Mary Nutter Classic in Palm Springs, California.
