College & Amateur

Following his high school and youth career, Finch committed to the University of Washington. However, he redshirted during his freshman year in 2007 due to injury. On August 29, 2008, Finch made his collegiate debut for the Huskies in a 2–1 loss to Fairleigh Dickinson University in the season opener. [1] He made a total of 16 appearances and tallied two assists in his redshirt freshman season and was also named to the Pac-10 All-Academic First-Team.

In 2009, Finch was named to the Pac-10 All-Academic First-Team for the second straight year and was also named All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention. On November 8, 2009, Finch scored his first collegiate goal for the Huskies in a 2–1 loss to UCLA. [2]

In his junior year in 2010, Finch was one of three Huskies to start all 18 games for the team and tallied two assists during the campaign. Finch went on to be named All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention, Pac-10 All-Academic First-Team, NSCAA Scholar All-West Region and First-Team Academic All-District VIII.

In his final season of his collegiate career, Finch appeared in all 18 games, tallied five assists and led the Husky backline that recorded nine shutouts during the regular season. In the final regular season game, Finch recorded two assists in the Huskies 3–0 win over Oregon State University. The First assist came when he set up Jacob Hustedt for his sixth of the season and the second came off a corner kick to Casey McCool. [3] The Huskies finished 12-4-2 on the year, which is usually good enough to make the NCAA Tournament, but they were left out. [4]
