Fewing Gets 300th Seattle U Win

Goals from Hal Uderitz and Noe Meza lift Seattle University to a come-from-behind, 2-1 win over Texas-Rio Grande Valley at Championship Field. It marks Peter Fewing's 300th career coaching win and it's part of a six-game win streak for the Redhakws. After going a goal down, Julian Avila-Good finds Udertiz for a 10th-minute equalizer. In the 65th minute, Meza curls in a free kick, dipping just below the crossbar.

Sounders Again Reach Playoffs
August 5, 1978

Two goals from Jocky Scott pave the way for Seattle’s 5-2 win over California before 27,000. It’s a season-best third win in a row and highest goal total in a year. Since acquiring Bobby Moore, the Sounders have won five of eight to finish 15-15 and make the playoffs for the fourth straight year. However, as the No. 8 seed in the National Conference, Seattle must visit the Cosmos in the first round, where they fall, 5-2.

Brewers Bank Knockout Trophy
January 3, 1971

Heidelberg Brewers take the Pacific Coast Coal Cup knockout final, 4-2, over Sons of Norway Vikings at Lower Woodland. It's the Brewers' third win over the vaunted Vikings in three months, across three competitions. John and Roger Goldingay each score in first half, while Heinz Ritter makes a goal line clearance. Bob Hough adds a third before Les Fabri finally pulls the Viks a goal back. Peter Carr's scorching drive makes it 4-1.

Late Lodeiro Penalties Turn CCL Tide
April 27, 2022

What seemed a mountainous Sounders task for their Champions League second leg final suddenly becomes manageable, thanks to a pair of late penalty conversions by Nicolas Lodeiro. The Seattle captain knotted the first leg score with UNAM Pumas at 2-2 deep into stoppage time at Mexico City's Estadio Olimpico de Universitario. Tournament scoring leader Juan Dinneno's powerful header early in the second half gives Pumas a 2-nil advantage. Lodeiro halves the deficit in the 77th minute. Then, following a foul on Cristian Roldan and VAR review nine minutes into added time, he again beats Alfredo Talavera.
