UCLA dealt a massive blow to the tiny appearance of progress by Washington Saturday, serving up a 41-point blowout — the worst loss of Lorenzo Romar’s increasingly tenuous tenure at Montlake.

A lifelong student of soccer whose passion for it outstrips his ability, Harvey is happy to return to the Cascadian mecca of The Beautiful Game. A Seattle native, Harvey was lured into the field of sports media by the high salaries and fast cars that are all too commonplace for sportswriters. As a student at Carleton (MN.) College, he worked as a writer, broadcaster and producer for the sports information department. Harvey graduated from Carleton magna cum laude in history and theatre in 2015. Harvey also worked for the North American Soccer League’s Minnesota United FC, contributing to televised broadcasts from the control room. After completing an internship with Sportspress Northwest, he covers the Sounders and UW men’s basketball as well as contributing coverage on the Seahawks and Mariners.
Despite closing the first half on a 15-0 run for a double-digit lead, the Huskies mixed turnovers and a hasty shot selection with defensive letdowns to collapse against USC for their 4th loss in a row.
To add midfield depth, the Sounders signed Swedish MF Gustav Svensson, who comes to Seattle after a 10-year career in Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine and China.
Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto is confident of success for the team in 2017, including acquisitions he made while the pre-spring training luncheon press conference was still happening Thursday.
Clint Dempsey participated in practice, retiree Zach Scott made a surprise appearance, and a host of youngsters began chasing their dreams as the Seattle Sounders had their first training session Tuesday.
Amid mounting losses and growing calls for Lorenzo Romar’s job, the Washington Huskies are trying to ignore the noise about a season quickly slipping out of reach of rescue.
Markelle Fultz recorded 30 points for the third game in a row. It mattered little — “we failed the exam,” said Lorenzo Romar — as Utah rampaged past the Washington Huskies 94-72 Saturday.
Nigerian princes are not myths of internet culture. The Sounders now have one: Seyi Adekoya, from Lakeside High School and UCLA, who chose soccer over medical school.
The Huskies missed 11 of 12 from three-point range in the first half and fell behind by 17. But a career-best 37 points from freshman Markelle Fultz provided UW’s second conference win.
As they cleaned out their lockers Sunday morning at season’s end, the Seattle Seahawks remained optimistic that the championship window remained open to them.
