FC Seattle's late-season surge lasts up to the final minute of the WSL regular season, but the Storm loses, 3-2, at San Francisco Bay. Seattle finishes with the league's fourth-best point total, but only the top two teams from each division qualify for the playoffs. The Blackhawks go up 3-nil after 63 minutes. Peter Hattrup's penalty kick begins the comeback, and Brent Goulet then scores but S.F. Bay holds on to win the North.

Mitre Eagles are unable to summon the tying goal in the U.S. Amateur Cup final, falling to Club Espana, 2-1, in St. Louis. Peter Hattrup’s goal after 21 minutes had put the Eagles ahead. The Seattle team had defeated Atlanta’s Datagraphic, 2-0, in the semi with Hattrup figuring both in an own goal and heading home Andy Churlin’s cross for the second. The Eagles had doubled up in the Open Cup, advancing to the May 19 West Regional championship game before being bounced by eventual winner San Francisco Greek-Americans via penalties (2-2) in near 100-degree heat in Tempe, Ariz.

Seattle is among 27 cities submitting bids to host 1994 World Cup matches. The bid committee, headed by Gov. Booth Gardner, proposes games at Husky Stadium, where a raised platform is under consideration for the temporary natural grass surface. Local venue groups must pay for any such renovations. Eight to 12 hosts cities are expected to be named by December. Meanwhile a bill is before the state legislature for $3 million in funding for a 5,000-seat stadium which could also serve as a training center.

It's an onslaught from the outset as the Sounders show no mercy in routing San Jose, 7-1, at Lumen Field. It's a record goal total for any competition and equals the margin of the 2014 Open Cup semifinal win over Chicago and ties for the second-largest margin in MLS annals. Jordan Morris scores after four minutes. After 15 minutes it's 3-nil, and by halftime it's 5-0. Both Raul Ruidiaz and Joevin Jones bag a brace in pushing Seattle to the top of the West (5-2-3) to complete the second phase of the truncated regular season. Six more games will be added through November 8. Officials carefully monitor air quality before and during the match due to pervasive smoke from nearby wildfires.

After more than two years of magic, a bid by Ballard FC to repeat as USL League Two champion fizzles in the first stage of the playoffs. Up a goal early while playing at home at Interbay, Ballard is overtaken by Oakland's Project 510, 2-1. The host's opener, an own goal, is canceled out in the 83rd minute before they are eliminated by a score three minutes into stoppage time.

A record Chicago Stars crowd is silenced in the final minutes as the Seattle Reign storms back to gain a 2-2 draw before 26,492 at Soldier Field. Down 2-nil, Lynn Biyendolo strikes left-footed from the top of the arc in the 87th minute. Jordyn Bugg finds the equalizer just two minutes later when her right-wing cross squeezes through traffic and inside the back post. Entering stoppage time, Maddie Mercado forces a diving stop on a potential winner.
