Seattle registers its first indoor win, 9-5 over San Jose behind four goals from Reine Almqvist in the Kingdome. Almqvist, the Swedish international whose outdoor season was cut short by quadriceps injury, scores at 4:21, then a pair 43 seconds apart of the second period before making it 6-3 early in third. Jeff Bourne adds a brace, and both Alan Hudson and Steve Buttle contribute three assists. George Best has two for the Quakes.

Spokane's Jadon Bowton saves all three Seattle University penalty attempts as Washington wins the NCAA first round playoff at Husky Soccer Stadium, 0-0 (3-0). The Huskies had the closest scoring chances before the shootout, but the Redhawks have an 18-11 advantage in shots. Caden Buckle's header hits the crossbar in the 50th minute and in the waning moments of regulation Zach Ramsey's potential winner is cleared off the line.

After 10 seasons in the PDL, the Spokane Shadow ceases operations. Owner Brett Sports cites an unwillingness to play on the substandard artificial surface at Joe Albi Stadium. Four days later Spokane Public Schools and Mead School District announce plans to replace the turf but not until September. It proves a moot point because the USL immediately terminated the franchise. The team looked at various sites around Spokane, including Gonzaga University, Spokane Falls Community College, Central Valley High School and both the old and current University High School facilities, but said it could not find any that could serve as a new home field. The Shadow finished first or second in the PDL Northwest Division nine times, including league runner-up in 1999.

Bagging his first multi-goal game in four years, Peter Hattrup helps the Sounders snap out of an offensive slump with a 3-1 win at winless Sacramento.

Mark Baena scores in the 38th minute but sees his second yellow card in the 48th.
