The World Cup begins tomorrow, with the first match in Seattle on Monday. Why mention this on a UW site? Because UW will be one of the practice sites for the teams playing in Seattle. Also, UW got a commitment yesterday from a recruit from New Jersey (Coach Fisch’s home state). Those and more in today’s Dots.
