Sunday afternoon, the Sounders Women faced the Pali Blues on the Blues home field and lost. It was a tough battle of mostly defense for the Sounders who remained under pressure for most of the game. Megan Kufeld would be my Woman of the Match. She had twelve saves on the day, and kept the Sounders in the match the entire game. The one shot in the first half that she missed was cleared off the line by defender Annie Sittauer in a fantastic goal line volley. They held the Western Division Leaders scoreless until the 70th minute. That’s pretty good considering Pali out shot the Sounders 19-8.
