February 27, 2020

CD Olimpia of Honduras finds a late road equalizer and goes on to eliminate Sounders FC from the Concacaf Champions League on penalties, 2-2 (4-2), in a Round of 16 match at CenturyLink Field. Carlos Pineda scores from distance in the 86th minute. Seattle, fighting back from an early 1-nil deficit, takes the lead through Cristian Roldan and new DP signing João Paulo.

Washington Pummels UCLA
April 8, 2021

Braces by Kendall Burks and Nick Scardina on Senior Day send No. 7 Washington to a 5-1 victory over UCLA on Montlake. Charlie Ostrem collects three assists as UW moves to 10-2-0. Scardina is the first Husky since Handwalla Bwana in 2017 to have a hat trick and a brace in the same season. Burks bags both of his goals in the first 16 minutes, and it's 4-nil at halftime. Following an overtime loss at Stanford, the Huskies slip to second in the final Pac-12 standings.

SPU Wind-Aided Olimpico Sparks NCAA Win
November 12, 2015

Heavy weather plays a part in Seattle Pacific's NCAA first-round ousting of UC San Diego, 2-1, in Bellingham. Laura Moore's wind-aided Olimpico puts SPU in front directly from a corner kick. The Tritons, stymied by a driving rain and headwinds gusting up to 40 mile per hour, are able to muster just one first-half shot. Isabell Farrell's close-range volley in the 50th minute gives the Falcons a cushion as they avenge postseason losses to UCSD in 2010 and 2012.

Peter Kingston, on a short-term loan from Tacoma Defiance, assists on late second-half goals four minutes apart by Danny Musovski and Paul Rothrock.
