Seattle University once again scores early, then adds four second-half goals to repeat as WAC tournament champions by blanking UMKC, 5-0, at Championship Field. Julie Moravec puts the Redhawks in front after 11 minutes – the eighth SU goal to come in the first 11 minutes in the last eight games. Early in the second half, Moravec and Natasha Howe score a minute apart (52-53’). Tourney MVP Stephanie Verdoia sets a new record with her 21st goal at 59’.

Wendy Lee of Puget Sound answers Pacific Lutheran's equalizer within a minute, and the Loggers leave Olympia with another NAIA District 1 title, 2-1. Stephanie Somes puts UPS in front in the 58th minute, but Laura Dutt pulls PLU even with five minutes to go. The Lutes have little time to celebrate. Lee latches on to a cross that slices across the box and deposits it in an open net.

Chris Henderson plays his final professional match, coming off the bench for the final 47 minutes in New York's 1-1 playoff draw with D.C. United. Henderson, 35, is the MLS career leader in matches played (317).

Cliff McCrath and his first of five NCAA championship teams are inducted into the Seattle Pacific University Athletics Hall of Fame. During a 37-year tenure (1970-2007), McCrath coached the SPU men to five NCAA Division II soccer championships: 1978, 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1993. The Falcons played in 10 national title games altogether, were postseason participants 30 times, and put together 37 consecutive winning seasons. The 1978 team was the first from Washington to claim a soccer national championship at any level. At the Final Four in Miami they beat Southern Connecticut State in a triple-overtime , 1-0, then went double-OT in the next day's championship match to beat Alabama A&M, 1-0.

Western Washington advances to the NCAA Division II Women's West Regional Championship for the eighth time in nine seasons by beating Point Loma, 1-0, in Bellingham. The second-round win is a combination of Jenna Killman's early marker and a key save by Natalie Dierickx. Killman scores her 14th goal in the seventh minute. Dierickx stops a Point Loma free kick in the 61st.
