Battling for a roster spot, Chris Henderson scores and assists in his first start for the U.S. National Team in 30 months, a 4-2 win over El Salvador to wrap-up World Cup qualifying in Foxborough, Mass.

FC Seattle announces plans for a four-team international women's tournament at Memorial Stadium. National teams for the United States, England and West Germany would be joined by FC Seattle.

Washington Rush claims the U.S. Club Soccer National Premier League championship, defeating Scottsdale Blackhawks, 3-0, in the girls under-14 final in Westfield, Ind.

Although the attack falls silent, Seattle gets another road result by drawing at Dallas, 0-0, to extend the club-record unbeaten streak to 13 games. Stefan Frei's biggest stop comes in the 42nd minute off Kellyn Acosta, diving left to push it around the post. It's Frei's 10th shutout, five coming during the 10-week run (6-0-7). Sounders play without injured Jordan Morris or Chad Marshall on muggy, 96-degree night in Frisco, Tex.

Behind the four goals of Glenn Lurie, Seattle Pacific romps to its sixth straight victory to start the season, 8-0 at Cal Poly Pomona.

Washington earns the state's first NCAA postseason berth but by the narrowest of margins. The Huskies need overtime to defeat Seattle University, 1-0, under the lights of a cold, soggy Lower Woodland Park. John Goldingay latches on to Joe Siebu's through ball and advances 30 yards before beating SU keeper Bob Burkhart for the golden goal. In the first overtime period, UW's Mike Jones turns Mike Carney's penalty kick around the post. The result is recorded as a 0-0 tie because NCAA rules did not permit overtime during non-tournament play. However, both teams agreed to use an overtime golden goal to determine the NCAA postseason representative.
