Sounders club president Alan Hinton, as expected, names himself head coach. Hinton, 51, previously coached both the NASL Sounders (1980-82) and Tacoma Stars (1986-88 and 1988-90).

Over $65,000 is for charities by the Zach Scott Testimonial match. Scott, the longtime Sounders player whose career stretched across two eras (2002-16) and 352 total appearances, is joined on the field by dozens of former teammates, friends and family, including his brother Daniel and 11-year-old son Kalei. Emerald City Supporters and the Sounders co-host the game at Memorial Stadium, attended by about 2,500. Proceeds from ticket sales, donations and auction items benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Fund, RAVE Foundation and a college fund for Scott's three children.

Oscar Jimenez, a former standout for Mount Vernon High School and Western Washington, wins a USL Championship title in his first year with Louisville City. Jimenez, 28, starts and plays the entire match, hitting the third penalty kick in the victory over New York Red Bulls II, 1-1 (4-3), before over 14,000 at Louisville Slugger Stadium.

Sounders center back scores in Canada's World Cup qualifying match versus Mexico, a 1-1 draw in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Bridge, a Victoria native who had earned his first cap just a month prior, then scores again in the next game, a 2-1 loss to host Honduras.

Scotty's Fish and Chips beats United Milk, 4-1, to clinch the first half at Maple Valley. Andy Phillips, out the previous few weeks, returns to score two first-half goals. Scotty's (7-2-1) stand three points above both Buchan and the Vikings.

The fizz suddenly goes out of a seemingly magical OL Reign season with a 2-1 loss to Washington in an NWSLS semifinal before 5,273 at a soggy Cheney Stadium. Eugenie Le Sommer puts the Reign in the driver's seat with a third-minute goal. However a young Spirit quickly strikes back through 19-year-old sensation Trinity Rodman (12'). Ashley Sanchez, 22, executes a clever chip from a sharp angle to beat Sarah Bouhaddi to put the visitors ahead. The Reign out-shoots Washington, 23-13, but only three tries are on-frame. The Spirit proceeds to win the NWSL championship.
