A strong start by Seattle Sounders U23 proves unsustainable as host Forest City of London, Ontario rallies to win the PDL semifinal, 3-2, before 1,500 at German Canadian Club. Sean Morris heads in a corner kick in the 21st minute , and Seattle goes into halftime up 2-nil when Dennis Sanchez hits from 25 yards. But Forest City begins climbing back, beginning with a goal just after the restart, and substitute Alex Lewis gets the winner in the 83rd. Still, it's huge turnaround for the U23s, who were 1-15-0 in 2011.
