Tina Thompson (Farley) of Seattle, an all-district midfielder and championship skier, is inducted into Whitman University's Hall of Fame. Thompson, after scoring 17 goals as a sophomore, capped her soccer career by leading Whitman to its first-ever berth in the NAIA West Coast Regionals in 1990. She was the 1991 Whitman Female Athlete of the Year.

Reclaiming their throne after a two-year absence in the PCL, Seattle Hungarians are crowned Northwest champions for a third time by beating Portland's Steinhaus Kickers, 3-1, in overtime at West Seattle. Steinhaus's Willie Heckel wipes out Steve Furjesi's opener to force extra time. Tommy Major and Alex Lennox deliver in overtime.

Portland's postseason arch-nemesis, Notre Dame, stops the Pilots and their Washington-based players short of the NCAA championships game. The Irish come from two goals down to win the semifinal, 3-2, before 8,800 at Santa Clara, Ca. A free kick from Justi Baumgardt of Federal Way creates the first UP goal. Jody Dutra, Wynne McIntosh and Kim Stiles are among the other Washingtonians playing for Portland. Notre Dame had beaten the Pilots in the 1994 semifinals and the 1995 final.

Pac-12 rival Oregon State denies Washington its first unbeaten regular season with a 1-0 win on Montlake. The No. 1-ranked Huskies (15-1-3) have not beaten the Beavers since the postponed 2020 campaign, going 0-2-2, with both losses in Seattle.

The owners whom Alan Hinton helped find to save the Tacoma Stars fire him 11 games into the season after a poor start and open confrontations with star forward Preki. The injury-riddled Stars (4-7) have lost five of seven, but it's Hinton's open criticism of Preki, the MISL MVP, in front of the team that proves his undoing. The board of directors also fire assistant coach Steve Buttle. Hinton had gone 91-76 in regular season, 15-16 in playoffs during two stints at the helm.

Missing several of the major cogs in their machine, the Seattle Reign lose just their third home game in three seasons, 2-1 to Chicago, to continue a sluggish start. Megan Rapinoe (torn knee ligament) and Jessica Fishlock (fractured tibia) and Manon Melis (tibia fracture) remain out, and Hope Solo misses the match while at her grandmother's funeral. The Red Stars' Jen Hoy gets free for second-half goals 11 minutes apart. Kim Little's 89' penalty is the only solace as Seattle sags to 2-3-1.
