The Seattle Sounders Women started the year
undefeated and they maintained the perfect record dispatching TSS Rovers on

Washington. With the win, the ladies in
green finish as Champions of the WPSL Northwest Division for the third year in
a row and will host the WPSL Western Conference Championships at Starfire

Bethany Balcer continued her run of good form
with a goal in the 21st minute to pace the Sounders Women in a
dominating performance. Kristen
Pavlitsko scored in the 15th minute as the Sounders Women hammered
the TSS Rovers goal and Jenna Holtz piled on the goals with a 32nd
minute strike. Half time would stand at
3-0 with the Sounders Women in full control.
The TSS Rovers came out flying in the second
half and found a goal early to make it interesting. The goal was scored by Natalie Cooke. At 3-1, the game then shifted back to the
Sounders Women. Georgia Cloepfil scored
in the 59th minute and Dom Bond-Flasza put one away in the 84th
minute. Balcer put the exclamation point
