The Seattle Pacific women win their 23rd straight game, 4-0 over Incarnate Word, to win the Super Regional and reach the NCAA Division II semifinals for the second time in three years. Jocelyn Charette scores twice, 56 seconds apart, in the match's first four minutes. With their third straight postseason shutout and 15th altogether, the Falcons become the first women's program in the state to win 23 games.
Vlad Voin scores in the 75th minute and Saint Martin’s wins at Northwest Nazarene, 2-1, to clinch the Saints’ first GNAC men’s championship in just the program's third season. It's the fifth straight conference win for SMU, which finishes three points ahead of Western Washington. Conner Biggs gets the visitors' opener only 80 seconds into match. Saint Martin's had gone 9-27-1 in its first two seasons. Two days earlier the road trip began with a 2-1 overtime win at Montana State Billings on a pair of Xan Nixon goals.
Crossfire Premier boys' teams collect three ECNL national championships in Richmond, Va., and set a record with four altogether for 2025. Of the six age groups contested, Crossfire takes U13, U14, U17 and, earlier, the U18/19. With a 2-0 win over Southern California's Legends FC, the XF U13s finish 31-0-0 with a goal difference of 173-13. Owen White scores in the final minute for the U14s’ 1-0 victory over Atlanta's Concorde Fire Platinum. Oscar Santana's brace fuels the U17s' 4-0 conquest of St. Louis Scott Gallagher. The XF '08s also won the 2023 ECNL title.
Western Washington's home field advantage in the NCAA tournament goes for naught in a 1-1 (6-5) shootout loss to Azusa Pacific in the second round at Harrington Field. Claire Potter's opener appears the winner until APU scores with 65 seconds left in regulation. Western plays without top scorer Morgan Manilili (17 goals), who sustained an ankle injury in the GNAC semifinals. Unbeaten at home, WWU finishes with just one loss (14-1-7).
Evergreen State ends its 38-game winless streak, dominating Northwest College, 4-0, in a Cascade Conference game. The Geoducks had not won since Oct. 14, 1998, a 1-0 decision over Hawaii Pacific, and had lost each match (38 total, including five ties) since a 1-1 tie with Northwest on Sept. 3, 1999. Justin Connell scored two goals in the first 23 minutes against Northwest, which had just 10 players. Truman Read and Brian Cook also scored. Evergreen women's coach Arlene McMahon coached the team after Scott Martin was fired Aug. 24.
The Seattle Sounders finally find a goal in the final 19 minutes and proceed to finish off the Kitsap Pumas in the fourth round of the U.S. Open Cup at Starfire. Cristian Roldan breaks the scoreless stalemate from short range – his first career goal – but the Sounders cannot exhale until Joevin Jones connects a minute into stoppage time. Sigi Schmid is not on the bench while serving a suspension carryover from 2015. He returns for the fifth-round advancement at Real Salt Lake, 1-1 (4-1).
