Rough & Tumble, a sports bar giving priority to women's professional and collegiate sports, opens in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. It instantly becomes the de facto home for OL Reign fans to gather and watch road matches and occasionally meet with players and coaches. Rough & Tumble founder Jen Barnes was driven to start the business after being frustrated in seeking a bar showing a 2021 Reign semifinal on a big screen.

Sarah Martinez opens the scoring with her record 49th career goal and later adds an assist, leading Seattle Pacific past Cal State Dominguez Hills, 3-0, in an NCAA Division II second round game at Interbay Stadium. Meredith Teague assists on all three goals, and the unblemished Falcons (21-0-0) dominate play (18-2 shots). After Martinez scores connects in the fourth minute with her 17th of her senior season, super sub Amanda Johnson doubles the lead in the 40th and Jocelyn Charette closes out the scoring, heading in a cross from Teague in the 59th.

Second-half substitute Zach Scott makes his first professional goal count for the game-winner, with the Sounders winning their eighth consecutive match to start the season, 3-2 at Calgary. In the 90th minute, Scott, a rookie from Gonzaga, nods home an Andrew Gregor corner kick past Storm goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld in cold, rainy conditions. As it had in the past seven wins, Seattle scores first, in the 19th minute, when Viet Nguyen converts a Brian Ching assist. Jason Farrell puts the visitors ahead, 2-1, in the 57th minute on a free-kick. It marks the longest win streak to start a Sounders season.

Seattle University and freshman striker Wendell Smith get off the mark fast against Portland, earning their first victory in the series, 4-1, at Memorial Stadium. Smith weaves between defenders to score at 15' and makes it 3-1 on a 35' header. In the second half Smith completes his hat trick. Four days later, against Puget Sound, he does it again. Smith ends the season with 15 goals.

Dressed in the kits of their respective sponsoring pros, Washington and Colorado Unified Soccer teams wrap-up the season, with the Rave winning, 2-0. It's a return match after Special Olympics Washington hosted a match three weeks earlier in Seattle. Both games were held in conjunction with Sounders-Rapids matches. In between, a Manchester United squad (represented by youth from Federal Way Schools) played Washington, winning 1-0. The Sounders and Rapids are the first MLS clubs to adopt the initiative, growing the Special Olympics Unified Sports soccer exchange program.

Bob Wilds makes a record 15 saves, and Morgan Turner’s early goal lays the foundation of a 3-1 Seattle University win at Washington. Harry Arnold and George Irwin also tally for the Chieftains at Husky Stadium. It pulls Seattle U even with Western Washington atop the Western Washington Soccer Conference.
