Seattle Pacific freshman Jessica Pixler wins the GNAC cross country championship by 3 seconds in Lacey. What's extraordinary is that Pixler's primary focus is soccer she's a reserve defender for the Falcons, appearing in seven games to date. Pixler goes on to win the NCAA West Regional and finish 10th nationally, with SPU 20th as a team.

Getting goals from Vince McCluskey and Michael Ramos in the final four minutes, Tacoma rallies to beat Ontario, 5-4, in the MASL regular season finale to snatch a playoff berth at the ShoWare Center. The Stars surged down the stretch, winning six of the last eight, including an 8-7 victory over San Diego Feb. 20 with Ramos again supplying the late winner.

After going in front in their NCAA West Region semifinal, Seattle Pacific is first reduced to 10 men, then tied, 1-1, and finally eliminated in a penalty kick shootout, 3-2, by Cal State Dominguez Hills in a steady rain at Interbay Stadium. Matt Merchant comes off the bench to score the SPU opener that was canceled out by a second-half Tony Alfaro penalty. Two 10-minute, sudden-death overtime periods end scoreless. Dominguez goalkeeper Chase Gentry makes nine saves in regulation and overtime, plus another two in the tiebreaker. The Falcons, unbeaten in their final 10, finish with just a single loss (14-1-4), the fewest in program history.

Seattle's epic tailspin in the wake of injuries and suspension continues with further calamity in a 3-1 road loss at LA Galaxy. Chad Barrett no sooner scores after 50 seconds than the Sounders forward strains his hamstring while celebrating. It's a club-record fifth straight league loss, the Rave Green are 1-9-1 dating to an Open Cup loss to Portland. An injured Obafemi Martins has not played since that night, and Clint Dempsey, through suspension and injury, has appeared just once. Osvaldo Alonso, a third DP, also misses the LA game. The Sounders drop to 10-12-2, already matching the club record for losses in a season, with 10 games left.

Jordan Morris scores two goals in leading Stanford to its first NCAA championship, 4-0 over Clemson, in the College Cup final in Kansas City. Morris puts the Cardinal ahead of the second-seeded Tigers in the second minute and adds another in the 50th minute. He finishes as the tournament's top scorer with five goals. It equals the largest margin of victory in a championship game.

A brace in four minutes Andrew French breaks open Whitworth's 6-0 drubbing of George Fox in Spokane, extending the 9th-ranked Pirates' unbeaten start to 15 games (12-0-3). Ryan Wood and Sam Selisch each assist on two goals.
