A new PDL team in Tacoma will replace the Spokane Shadow in the Northwest Division. The new club, owned by Mike Jennings and Pat Garlock and coached by Jennings, will go by the name Tacoma FC for 2006 before choosing a permanent nickname for 2007. TFC will assume the Shadow's schedule and play home games at Curtis High School. The Shadow was forced to cease operations March 27 when they concluded the turf at Spokane's Joe Albi Stadium was unfit for play.

Seattle's Maple Leafs thrash Tacoma, 4-0, in Renton for the state title and Puget Power & Light trophy, donated by A.W. Leonard. Sammy Lewis scores twice and Barney Kempton is the playmaker, assisting both Lewis’s opener and Tommy Barwick, who made it 2-nil. Len Williamson got the other goal.

Seattle Heidelbergs of the state league defeat Vienna Sandt, 4-1, at West Seattle Stadium. It's only the second loss by Austrians in 18 touring games over three years. Abu Kamara, Sierra Leone student at UW, stars on defense for the Heidelbergs. Eli DeOliveira scores two goals for Seattle. The previous night Sandt drubbed Tacoma Heidelberg, 4-0, at Baker Stadium.

Jenny Berbeck gets behind the Highline defense to score in overtime and give Snohomish the AAA championship at Auburn. The Panthers, out-shot 20-7, force extra time behind the 13 saves of Lulu Castagna. They break through when, with 63 seconds left in the second extra period, Jenny Birks clears to midfield, and Berbeck beats the lone remaining defender and the Pirates' keeper. It's her 26th goal of the year.

Jenny Moore and Fiona Gornick score in the first 4 minutes and Puget Sound proceeds to pummel Willamette, 4-0, for its Northwest Conference-clinching 16th straight win.

In the waning seconds of regulation Robin Vieira finds the winner for 25th-ranked Puget Sound in an NCAA Division III first-round win over Washington in St. Louis. Vieira heads home from a Danielle Silver cross in the 90th minute. The Loggers, after hitting the post and crossbar, fall to Centre the next day, 0-0 (7-6), in a second-round shootout.
