A five-match, 9-day Sounders preseason tour of Argentina begins with a 3-1 training game win at Estudiantes in Buenos Aires. Fredy Montero scores two, Nate Jaqua one. Seattle goes 2-1-1 with one match canceled due to heavy rain.

Tami Bennett adds four more goals to her state high school record and completes her prep career unbeaten as well following Seattle Christian's 5-0 victory over Vashon in the state girls' A/B title game at Sammamish High School. Bennett's total reaches 150 goals – 43 as a senior – and the Warriors (16-0-0) go 63-0-1 during her four seasons. She later commits to Washington for her college career.

Amanda Perez deals the decisive blow in Washington's rare win over 25th-ranked Portland, 3-2 at Merlo Field. Kate Bennett's second goal gives UW its first lead in the 39th minute. Bennett then serves a cross for Perez to head home in the 80th minute. The Pilots had dominated the series, 23-3-2, not losing to the Huskies since 2010.

Second-half goals from Maia Tabion and Bailey Gourdine secure the Northwest Division for FC Olympia, 2-0 winners over the Tacoma Galaxy before 467 at South Sound Stadium in Lacey. It's Oly's second division crown in as many seasons. The win extends the Artesians' divisional unbeaten string to 20 games (17-0-3).

Washington, which is making its second postseason appearance in three years, is seeded No. 4 in the West. Originally it was paired with USF (24-1-0) ranked No. 2 nationally, however, both San Jose State and UC Santa Barbara are deemed ineligible, so UW meets Santa Clara at Buck Shaw Stadium, falling 2-0, in a cold rain.

Elly Bulega's goal in the 83rd minute lifts Whitworth to a 2-1 win over Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges in the second round of the NCAA Division III tournament in Santa Cruz, Ca. For just the third time in program history the Pirates advance to the sectional round. Keith Kirsch gives Whitworth a quick lead for the second game in a row, heading in Cameron Bushey's corner kick in the second minute. Kirsch scored a seventh minute opener in a 2-0 win over Chapman a day earlier.
