Murphy’s Pub of Seattle claims the U.S. Amateur Cup behind two goals from Jason Dunn, beating Scott Gallagher of St. Louis, 2-1, at Indianapolis. Dunn, who scored four goals in a 7-3 semifinal victory over New York Hota Bavarians, is named the finals MVP. Jason Farrell, Dunn's former Seattle Pacific teammate, got Murphy's other three goals. All the players except Hungarian midfielder Tibor Bako played high-school soccer in the Puget Sound area. Other current SPU players in the side are James Dunn and Marcus Hahnemann. Murphy's finishes the season at 19-0-0 in all competitions.

Freshman Jose Reyes scorers a pair of goals to separate Seattle Pacific from Washington, 3-1, in the NCSC opener at Queen Anne Bowl. It's the first time that the Falcons have won consecutive meetings in the series, and it comes a week after SPC gave up nine goals in Far West Classic losses to Chico State and Biola.

Cristian Roldan of the Sounders comes off the bench to set-up the winning goal as the United States advances to the Gold Cup semifinals. Roldan substitutes in the 63rd minute and following an active 20-minute span, floats a cross from the right wing that's headed in by Matthew Hoppe in the 82nd minute. That gives the U.S. a 1-0 win over Jamaica at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tx. Roldan had gotten his first USMNT assist vs. Martinique on July 15. His younger brother and Sounders teammate Alex Roldan made his international debut for El Salvador July 11, scoring in his debut vs. Guatemala.

Sounders goalkeeper Preston Burpo is making his move to the big time.

Chivas struggled through a tough expansion season, finishing with a dismal 4-22-6 record. Burpo is the Sounders USL career leader in shutouts (46) across all competitions. Joining him on the Los Angeles-based Chivas team will be Brent Whitfield, a rookie midfielder last year with Seattle.

The Kitsap Pumas draw, 1-1, with Tacoma Tide in their inaugural home game, played before 1,572.

The Tide's Michael David ties the first installment of the Narrows Bridge Bell rivalry in the 72nd.
