Gonzaga claims its first-ever women's victory over Portland to complete their second straight 10-win season. On a cold, rainy night at Luger Field, the Zags break through in the 54th minute. India Jencks scores from a feed from Jodi Ulkekul. Drew Williams gets the shutout. The Bulldogs were picked eighth in the WCC preseason poll and ended the season going 5-1-2 over the final eight. They had been 0-25-1 vs. the Pilots since the program's inception.

Pat Thomas scores the winning goal 26 seconds into overtime, as fourth-seeded Seattle University advances to the NCAA II West Regional men's soccer final by stunning top-seeded Cal State-Dominguez Hills, 2-1, at Carson, Calif. Thomas’s 10th goal of the year is a sitter after the Toros' keeper collides with a defender. Earlier, Hans Esterhuizen puts the Redhawks in front after 49 minutes, hitting the rebound after John Fishbaugher is saved. Seattle U, considered a surprise tournament selection with seven losses, proceeds to win the regional title two nights later, via penalties, over Cal State L.A., 3-3 (4-2). Esterhuizen, who scores again, is voted the regional defensive MVP. The Golden Eagles dispatch SPU, 2-1, in the other semifinal.

Dale Lenz scores the first goal, his 13th of the year, and Seattle University goes on to beat Washington, 3-0, in the first competitive intracity meeting between intercollegiate teams at Lower Woodland. Mike Carney doubles the lead and Tom Yagle completes the scoring. The two teams met Oct. 6 in a non-counting game after the Chieftains had just four practice sessions. The Huskies won that, 3-0, at Lower Woodland.

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.

Melissa Bennett's hat trick powers Seattle Christian to a seventh consecutive state girls' 1A/B championship, 4-1, over Bellevue Christian at Auburn.

Seattle Christian's only on-field loss (they had five forfeits) was to 3A runner-up Mount Rainier.
