A week removed from his last game with the Tacoma Stars, Brent Goulet makes his season debut for the Seattle Storm and scores two goals in a 3-1 home win over California. Goulet, seeking to earn a spot on the U.S. World Cup squad, volleys from 12 yards at 26:42, then seals the result with 90 seconds left after running onto Chance Fry's long ball. He has eight goals in seven games playing for the Storm following six goals in six 1989 appearances. Still, Goulet never receives a call-in from U.S. coach Bob Gansler.

Sounders FC technical director Chris Henderson and GM Adrian Hanauer select 10 players in the MLS expansion draft. They are: Brad Evans, Nate Jaqua, Stephen King, Jeff Parke, James Riley, Jarrod Smith, Khano Smith, Nathan Sturgis, Pete Vagenas and Tyson Wahl. The team now has 14 players under contract.

A season-best crowd of 7,542 turns out at Seahawks Stadium for the Sounders' U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal against the L.A. Galaxy, but it's not much of a contest.

After Jason Farrell pulls the hosts back to 3-1, Ruiz adds two more goals in the final three minutes.

Theresa Wagner Romagnolo of Edmonds is named women’s head coach at Notre Dame. A four-time All-Pac-10 Conference choice at Washington, she went on to join the Stanford and University of San Diego staffs before her first head coaching appointment at Dartmouth in 2011. The Irish go 14-6-2 and reach the NCAA third round in Romagnolo’s first year.

David Chavarin's goal early in the second half proves to be the winner, and Whitman earns a share of its first Northwest League title in 37 years by defeating Whitworth, 3-1, in Walla Walla. Two minutes after the Pirates eras an 1-nil deficit, Chavarin shoots low and firm inside the right post to put the Blues back in front at 53 minutes. Oscar Harding seals with a third goal just before full time. By virtue of head-to-head records, Pacific Lutheran receives the league's automatic NCAA tournament berth. The NWC title is the first for Whitman since winning it outright in 1981. The Blues finish on a 4-0-2 run after starting 1-3-0.
