Week 4 set a new benchmark. Seattle’s performance established a standard of execution that will challenge every opponent moving forward while Oregon demonstrated the ability to translate adjustments into results, securing a milestone win at home. Utah had a demanding doubleheader weekend on the road, but did not let their loss to Seattle define their entire weekend.
Game 1: UT @ SEA
Seattle Rewrites the Record Book in Statement Win Over Utah
Seattle delivered one of the most complete performances in league history on Friday night, setting multiple WUL records in a game defined by efficiency, depth, and sustained pressure.
From the opening possessions, Tempest established control through disciplined offense and a defense that consistently generated short-field opportunities. That combination allowed Seattle to build separation steadily while maintaining a high level of execution throughout all four quarters.
The result: 37 goals, the highest single-game total in WUL history, alongside the largest margin of victory the league has seen (27 points).
At the center of that performance was Meg Manning, who produced one of the most remarkable statistical games ever recorded: 5 goals, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 545 total yards, without a single turnover – making her the first player in WUL history to ever record 500+ yards with no turnovers. Her impact was consistent, both as a finisher and initiator, and her ability to stretch the field shaped the flow of the game.
Jamie Kauffman complemented that effort with another standout two-way performance (4G, 4A, 4B, 446 yards, 0 turnovers, the WUL’s first 4/4/4 game), while Kaitlynne Roling also set a new single-game assists record with 9 assists and 0 turnovers—underscoring Seattle’s precision across the roster.
Additional contributions from Anna Pettee (5G, 4A), Lauren Page (4B), and Brogan Jones (5A, 300 TY) highlighted the team-wide nature of the performance.
Utah continued to show its defining strengths: athleticism, pace, and a willingness to attack downfield. Wild generated opportunities and moments of offensive rhythm, particularly when able to move the disc laterally and create space. While the result did not fall their way, the building blocks remain evident for a developing roster navigating a demanding early-season schedule. Eva Bell turned in a 283TY, 2A, 2B performance, but Utah lacked the depth to rein in Seattle’s efforts.
Seattle’s 37-10 winning performance ultimately set the standard—one that will shape the league conversation for years ahead.
Game 2: UT @ OR
Defensive Discipline Lifts Soar to First Ever Home Win
Oregon Soar secured a composed win built on defensive discipline and steady offensive execution, particularly as the game progressed.
Utah opened with energy, moving the disc quickly, looking to create space downfield and early separation. That early pace translated into competitive possessions and opportunities to challenge Oregon’s defense.
As the game settled, Oregon made key adjustments—tightening defensive pressure and limiting clean continuation looks, especially in the red zone. Those moments proved decisive, as Soar converted stops into breaks and extended their lead, and Utah started to lose steam in their second game of the weekend.
Rachel Egan delivered a standout performance with 6 assists and 4 blocks, while Caity Winterbottom (4G, 1B, 1A, 246 RY) and Zoe Luke (4G) provided consistent finishing downfield.
Utah continued to compete throughout, with Eva Bell (2A, 2B, 358 TY) leading the offensive effort. Their ability to generate opportunities remained clear, even as Oregon’s defensive efforts became more effective. While Utah outscored Oregon in Q2, the 4 point gap created in both Q1 and Q3 proved too much to overcome.
Oregon’s consistency ultimately carried the result, but competitiveness on both sides remained a defining feature of the matchup with the final score landing at 19-12.
