Trophy | Cascade Cup |
The Central Washington–Western Washington football rivalry, also known as the Cascade Cup[1][2] and the Battle in Seattle[3][4], was an annual football game between Central Washington University and Western Washington University. The two teams first met in 1922 and Central leads the series.[5][6] The rivalry has been compared to the larger Apple Cup rivalry between the Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars, which also includes schools based on the western and eastern site of the state.[7]
