Seattle's FC Löwenbräu wins the West Regional of the U.S. Women's Amateur Cup in San Francisco, 2-1 over Hawaii Leahi. Sharon McMurtry scores on Lowenbrau's first foray of the match, and Joan Dunlap doubles the lead in the 75th minute. Seattle defeated Colorado, 2-1, in the semifinal. The three-time national champions, who started the season slowly after adding seven new players, will now defend their title at the finals in Houston.

Balint Ducz announces he will no longer serve as manager and sponsor of Seattle Hungarians. Under Ducz's 11-year stewardship, the Hungarians won seven state championships, six Northwest championships and became the first Washington club to contend for the National Challenge Cup. Former league commissioner Andrew Goodman takes the reins and rebrands the teams as Seattle Magyars. The league recognizes it as a new entry rather than a continuation.

Washington equals its best start ever by blanking Notre Dame, 3-0, at South Bend. Lindsay Elston gets it going in the 29th minute, dribbling past defenders and the keeper for her fifth goal in 7-0-0 start. Jaclyn Softli scores late in the half, and Falon Miller late in the second. It's Kari Davidson's third straight shutout.

Charlie Lanphier makes six saves to keep it close, but Seattle University succumbs to Oregon State in overtime, 2-1, in the first-round NCAA game at Corvallis. The Beavers who lost at Seattle U Sept. 7 despite a commanding advantage in shots, are aggressive again, finishing 23-3 in shots. Although Mo Mohamed forces extra time, Fran Cortijo quickly gets OSU the winner in 1:43.

Washington midfielder Wes Hart is taken with the seventh overall pick by Colorado in the MLS SuperDraft. It's the earliest selection yet for a player from a state college. Ricci Greenwood of Seattle Pacific went 20th to Columbus in 1996.

Defending MLS Cup champion LAFC snuffs out Seattle's bid for a third title by silencing the Sounders attack and over 33,000 at Lumen Field in the Western Conference semifinals. Denis Bouanga capitalizes on a midfield turnover to race down the left flank and beat Stefan Frei in the 30th minute. Bouanga has scored at least once in six straight matches. Yeimar sees his equalizing attempt cleared off the line at 76', and Alex Roldan's long drive is tipped away by Maxime Crepeau. It's Seattle's first home playoff loss in 19 games dating back to 2013.
