Speaker 1: The following is an exclusive presentation of Seattle Rainsucker on
Speaker 1: Sports Radio nine fifty kJ.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Rain on the Radio.
Speaker 3: We got Seattle Rain FC today against Washington Spirit. This
Speaker 3: is the eighth place team in Seattle and NWSL facing
Speaker 3: off against the fourth place Washington Spirit team. For NWSL
Speaker 3: right now, we're looking at Utah and Portland at the
Speaker 3: top of the table with twenty three points. Seattle is
Speaker 3: at fourteen, and Washington right now working just underneath those
Speaker 3: league leaders here in this thirty game season. Used to
Speaker 3: be twenty six games, but with the new inclusion of
Speaker 3: both Denver and Boston, we're up to thirty games here
Speaker 3: in the NWSL season. Washington, by the way, they are
Speaker 3: coming off of a twenty twenty five year where they
Speaker 3: lost the championship game one to nothing. So this is
Speaker 3: a very, very excellent team here in the Washington Spirit.
Speaker 2: Let's get to the.
Speaker 3: Starting lineup for Laura Harvey's Seattle rain squad. She's got
Speaker 3: Claudia Dickey, of course in goal, who was just called
Speaker 3: up to the United States national team for this upcoming break.
Speaker 3: Madison Curry at your left back spot, Jordan Bug one
Speaker 3: of your center backs, alongside Phebe mclernan. Sophia Houerta of
Speaker 3: course is your right back. She of course now with
Speaker 3: two hundred NWSL regular season starts, fifth player ever to
Speaker 3: get that yet. Has James Turner in the holding midfield
Speaker 3: alongside Ainsley McCammon. You're attacking midfielders Maddie Dollen, Sally Menti
Speaker 3: in the middle, Holly Ward, who was just called up
Speaker 3: to Canada for the World Cup break ahead. She is
Speaker 3: on the right wing with Maddie Mercado up top and Stephanie.
Speaker 3: I do believe that's the exact same lineup as last
Speaker 3: week in Boston.
Speaker 4: The exact same lineup, and I love what Laura Harvey
Speaker 4: had to say about it. Actually, she said, you know,
Speaker 4: this might not be our best eleven on paper, but
Speaker 4: it's our best eleven in form right now. They're in
Speaker 4: the proper form and I think that just shows she
Speaker 4: has a lot of confidence. They did exactly what she
Speaker 4: wanted in Boston, so give them a chance to do
Speaker 4: it again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, eas as she was saying there is kind of
Speaker 3: couldn't come up with any way to justify changing the
Speaker 3: starting lineup after that win, So Rainer sticking from there, Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: for the Washington Spirit, we just saw them three weeks ago.
Speaker 3: They beat Seattle, won nothing at Luminfield in a game
Speaker 3: that we talked about. Seattle dominated Washington. So the changes
Speaker 3: for Washington are very limited. They are pretty much staying
Speaker 3: the exact same in the midfield and forward. Sofia Cantore
Speaker 3: is up top at the forward. They have what we're
Speaker 3: gonna call it a four to two three one. They
Speaker 3: listed it as a four to three three. I don't
Speaker 3: think that's right. Cantoria will be up top. Coassi will
Speaker 3: be on one wing. Trinity Rodman will be on another wing.
Speaker 3: She's an outstanding player, somebody who committed to Washington State University,
Speaker 3: never actually played, went to the league and has been
Speaker 3: extremely good since. Lacy Santos in the middle of them.
Speaker 3: Their holding midfielders will be Hal Hirschfeldt, who was just
Speaker 3: celebrated by the way for fifty games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, appearance fifty for Spirit.
Speaker 3: It's an interesting decision to celebrate somebody for hearing in
Speaker 3: fifty games. But okay, Rebecca Bernal is their other holding midfielder.
Speaker 3: Then their back four is where they made the changes
Speaker 3: from three weeks ago. Lucia di diguelmo is going to
Speaker 3: be their right back, Gabrielle carl is their left back.
Speaker 3: Elizabeth Say and Tara Rudd are their center backs with
Speaker 3: Sandy mc ivor in goal. So Stephanie's we look at
Speaker 3: their team pretty much, outside of only two defensive changes,
Speaker 3: the same team that they brought to Seattle three weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it's kind of the same thing
Speaker 4: with Laura Harvey' sa. You know, why change it if
Speaker 4: it's working, and they have an incredibly strong front six.
Speaker 4: I would say that they really rely on for their
Speaker 4: speed of play, for their aggressiveness, for getting goals, and
Speaker 4: that's not going to change the back line, you know,
Speaker 4: I'd say a few changes, probably just because of tired
Speaker 4: legs again two games last week. That's really different and
Speaker 4: new for them compared to you know NWSL opponents, including
Speaker 4: the Rain.
Speaker 3: Well, we're just about to get this game kicked off
Speaker 3: at Audy Field in Washington, d C. Washington Spirit hosting
Speaker 3: the Seattle Rain. Also, as we're talking about the Spirit,
Speaker 3: by the way, important to note that they have Claudia
Speaker 3: Martinez off the bench. She's the one who scored an
Speaker 3: eighty third minute goal against Seattle and the benches on
Speaker 3: this team, Stephanie. As we're just moments away from getting kickoff,
Speaker 3: Seattle is loaded on the bench. Washington's also very good
Speaker 3: on the bench as well. This will be an interesting
Speaker 3: first half as we look forward to a should be
Speaker 3: packed substitute second half.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think we're looking at a chess match in
Speaker 4: the first half, to see how each team builds, how
Speaker 4: you know, how are they going to adjust to each other,
Speaker 4: what are they going to give each other? And then
Speaker 4: you and I both were talking about sixty minutes on.
Speaker 4: I think it's a new game because of how many
Speaker 4: people can go into this.
Speaker 3: Well, we are kicked off here at Audi Field in Washington,
Speaker 3: as we are at a long ball up the left
Speaker 3: side from Claudia Dicky and that will go out for
Speaker 3: a throw in for the spirit our referee today Alexandra
Speaker 3: bill Etter on var we have Danielle Chesky as we
Speaker 3: are underway here at Audi Field and Seattle Rain controlling
Speaker 3: in their own end and Claudia Dicky with the ball
Speaker 3: at her feet. And this game right now is as
Speaker 3: a chance, I think, Stephanie, for Seattle Rain to take
Speaker 3: this road trip where they started the road trip with
Speaker 3: a win last week against Boston, a chance to build
Speaker 3: on that and get another w here today to kind
Speaker 3: of say that that five game stress without a goal,
Speaker 3: that is so far in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 2: We are far past.
Speaker 4: That, yeah, definitely, especially you know, we didn't talk about
Speaker 4: it earlier, but they're staying out on the East Coast,
Speaker 4: so's it's really different for a team to you know,
Speaker 4: not be traveling, especially when they're obviously so far away
Speaker 4: on the East Coast, but instead they're getting used to
Speaker 4: the climate out there. They're getting us to the time zone,
Speaker 4: but they also are away from home, so it's gonna
Speaker 4: take them a bit to kind of get into the game.
Speaker 3: And we already have a very very quick injury here
Speaker 3: in just the second minute of this game, and it's
Speaker 3: the right back for Washington, Lucia di Gaguelmo, the Italian
Speaker 3: right back who is coming off of a bunch of
Speaker 3: trophies with Roma down there in Italy.
Speaker 2: She's back up.
Speaker 3: But for the Seattle Rain that is going to be
Speaker 3: Holly Ward and a bunch of other players. Sophia Aware too,
Speaker 3: who just went in hard there against Gigielmo. That was
Speaker 3: almost like a football esque tackle there from Sophia Aguerta.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like her knee ended up going someone
Speaker 4: around her stomach, which not comfortable.
Speaker 3: And right now Washington's backlane wasn't comfortable there pressure from
Speaker 3: Maddy Mercado. It has to go back to their goalkeeper
Speaker 3: and their goalkeeper Sandy mckiver, who's played every single minute
Speaker 3: of their ten games so far this year. It's a
Speaker 3: Washington team that right now is going to get pressure
Speaker 3: from a high press here of Seattle. And it's that press,
Speaker 3: I think Stephanie in that Boston game that stood out
Speaker 3: from Seattle. They really made that Boston Legacy team uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: As we'll get to that here in a minute. Here
Speaker 3: comes Washington down the right side. Here's Kuwassi trying to
Speaker 3: find Santos in the middle, but done well. There is
Speaker 3: Madison Curry to shuffle that out. It will be a
Speaker 3: goal kick. But it's that press, right saw us work
Speaker 3: so well against Boston.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And you know Laura Harvey loves a good press,
Speaker 4: and I think she said it multiple times. She said
Speaker 4: to her team that if she needs to sub early,
Speaker 4: she'll sub early, but she wants to see the pace
Speaker 4: and the tone to be set from that front line,
Speaker 4: and she, you know, she talked about how it really
Speaker 4: sets the you know everything for the midfielders and the
Speaker 4: defenders behind those forwards to see them putting pressure on
Speaker 4: that back line, and especially against a team like the
Speaker 4: Washington Spirit, just don't let Rodman Cantorre.
Speaker 5: Those players up the field have the ball. How you
Speaker 5: do that? You win it in their end.
Speaker 3: The interesting thing too, is a rain get the ball
Speaker 3: out of the back of the net. Playing with a
Speaker 3: lot of now press from Washingtons and Laura Harvey was
Speaker 3: talking about how how good Claudia Dickey, who again she's
Speaker 3: the number one goalkeeper for the United States national team.
Speaker 3: She was called up for their upcoming games here during
Speaker 3: the World Cup break. She said that she's phenomenal off
Speaker 3: of crosses, but also she's so good with the ball
Speaker 3: at her feet. She said, she's actually at her best
Speaker 3: when she's facing pressers. So you could almost see the
Speaker 3: strategy right there. As a ball goes out for a
Speaker 3: rain thrown on the far side, you'd almost see that
Speaker 3: the rain. The way they were playing out of the
Speaker 3: back stuff, and he almost just was asking, please please
Speaker 3: press Claudia because she's going to be better under the press.
Speaker 2: Than if you just give her that time.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Laura, have you said that specifically, she's better with pressure,
Speaker 4: So they are. They actually are enticing the spirit to
Speaker 4: come and press out. And you know, part of the
Speaker 4: reason why teams do that is because it creates more
Speaker 4: space behind Laura Harvey, doesn't you know, essentially want tons
Speaker 4: of spirit players in the box around Claudia Dicki. But
Speaker 4: what it allows is those players to be composed on
Speaker 4: the ball. As more Washington players get pulled up out
Speaker 4: of position, there's gaps, there's channels behind them, and then
Speaker 4: they can dump it up to Mercado to Dollen and
Speaker 4: they can move out from there.
Speaker 2: Seattle rain.
Speaker 3: Right now, a long pass down the far end of
Speaker 3: the field is taken away from Washington.
Speaker 2: Now they have the ball in their own half right now.
Speaker 3: Just a couple changes from three weeks ago when Washington
Speaker 3: came to Seattle.
Speaker 2: We're heavily outplayed but still won the game one.
Speaker 3: Nothing there late, and they are just dealing with a
Speaker 3: couple of those small changes. But here's a chance for
Speaker 3: Matti Dolleen trying to win a ball brought down foul
Speaker 3: called Mattie Dolleen an excellent job to come in take
Speaker 3: a loose pass away from Elizabeth Say. That is one
Speaker 3: of those changes that Washington has made, and it costs
Speaker 3: him right there is it's a free kick for Seattle
Speaker 3: in a dangerous spot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Matti Dolleen is the wide forward coming all
Speaker 4: the way across the field to really challenge that central
Speaker 4: center back. You don't always expect that pressure because normally
Speaker 4: the nine would be pressing there. So Say just doesn't
Speaker 4: expect it, and she's able to really get on the ball.
Speaker 5: And like Laura Harvey said, Mattie Dollen's the most.
Speaker 4: Competitive player I think she said, one of the most
Speaker 4: competitive that she has ever coached.
Speaker 5: You can see it there. She gets the ball, gets
Speaker 5: it away from her and then brings in the foul
Speaker 5: in a dangerous spot.
Speaker 3: A bit of an issue there that I have is
Speaker 3: that for Elizabeth Say, she I was going to say,
Speaker 3: the issue is not getting a yellow card because at
Speaker 3: that point she's last person back and you know she
Speaker 3: has no choice, Elizabeth Say does but to drag down
Speaker 3: Mattie Dolleen, who would have been one on one with
Speaker 3: the keeper, and to say, does get the yellow card
Speaker 3: here in the sixth minute. So in early yellow for
Speaker 3: one of their center backs. That is something certainly to monitor.
Speaker 3: But here comes the free kick. It will of course
Speaker 3: be Sophia Hoer. It's a standing over it about ten
Speaker 3: yards outside of the Washington box. We will see how
Speaker 3: Sophia where itsa sets this one up. It's gonna be
Speaker 3: swinging towards, but it can't get over that first line
Speaker 3: as Washington's able to clear that away. But Rain will
Speaker 3: hold right near the halfway point. Long ball here, it's
Speaker 3: howeer Itza trying to slip a ball in to that
Speaker 3: far post, but it's cleared away out for a Rain
Speaker 3: throwing here as the clock strike six minutes zero zero
Speaker 3: so far Seattle RAINFC, Washington Spirit. On Sports Radio nine
Speaker 3: to fifty Kjim Jackson, Feltz, Stephanie Verdoya bringing you the
Speaker 3: game here on this Saturday afternoon. It's a long throw
Speaker 3: and coming into Mercado. Mercado working with it in the
Speaker 3: corner to Don Lee and that took a touch out
Speaker 3: and it will stay with a Rain throwing here from
Speaker 3: that far in the left. It'll be Madison Curry from
Speaker 3: this throw in throwing about five yards from.
Speaker 2: The end line.
Speaker 3: It will be a long throw and trying to reach
Speaker 3: Maddie Donaleen. Once again Washington trying to clear it. They can't.
Speaker 3: Here's Donleen crossed to the far post is Holly Ward.
Speaker 3: There she is, and this will stay with the rain
Speaker 3: ward working on this right. She cuts it over to
Speaker 3: Huerta looking for a cross and excellent defending there by Guguilmo.
Speaker 3: That you left back for Washington to get in the
Speaker 3: way of that one, and that will go for a
Speaker 3: washing thrown here from the near side the left as
Speaker 3: they defended that build up by the rain very very well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we've talked about it a lot in previous games.
Speaker 4: The rain love this half space on the width, so
Speaker 4: Huerta and Curry players like that. They love to get
Speaker 4: up and beyond their attackers, so they're actually like the
Speaker 4: highest player on the field. And sometimes that looks odd
Speaker 4: to folks who maybe don't watch a ton of soccer,
Speaker 4: but you really want your outside backs and this type
Speaker 4: of formation to release and create that we call it,
Speaker 4: you know, overload numbers up situation.
Speaker 3: Here's an errant pass that Seattle takes away and now
Speaker 3: here they're working up on this left side. Here comes Madison.
Speaker 3: Curry has Dollen to help. She also has has James
Speaker 3: Turner in the middle, ball up to Mercado, now out wide,
Speaker 3: did Dolleen, Oh, Dleen trying to get to that near post.
Speaker 2: Run she does.
Speaker 3: She crosses it in and that shot takes not the
Speaker 3: best touch there, but it is Hollywood getting the ball
Speaker 3: there right in front of goal and could just redirect
Speaker 3: it onto the goalkeeper Sandy mckiver.
Speaker 2: But not a overly dangerous chance.
Speaker 3: But it's once again it's the chances creating, and that
Speaker 3: was a chance created there from Maddie Dolleen on the
Speaker 3: left side.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Again her competitiveness, you see, she just wants to get
Speaker 4: around her defender. When she's on the ball. She drives
Speaker 4: to the end line and is able to send a
Speaker 4: nice kind of half chipped ball that just holds enough
Speaker 4: for Hollywood to get around it, and unfortunately she didn't
Speaker 4: get enough power.
Speaker 5: It ends up going right to.
Speaker 3: McIver Washington has right now they're kicking it along the
Speaker 3: back line. It's also interesting, Stephanie, because we were hearing
Speaker 3: from Laura Harvey how something that she really wants out
Speaker 3: of the crossing of this team is you get into
Speaker 3: that prime assist zone, you get into that end line
Speaker 3: crosses and you put it near post. And as we
Speaker 3: have Washington now working up this left side, a great
Speaker 3: job there by Phebe mclernan to kick that out. But
Speaker 3: we've seen now two times in the last about three
Speaker 3: minutes that run towards the end line and cross coming
Speaker 3: towards roughly that near post. Seattle, I think, is going
Speaker 3: to try to go for that. From head coach Laura
Speaker 3: Harvey today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, she wants to see it a lot more,
Speaker 4: especially from players like Mercado and Doline and Fischel if
Speaker 4: she comes in.
Speaker 5: She talked about how.
Speaker 4: Important it is for them to continue that run because
Speaker 4: if they don't get it, it creates the space behind
Speaker 4: them for other players.
Speaker 5: And if we are going to focus on scoring.
Speaker 4: By crossing and finishing, then what we really need are
Speaker 4: different types of crosses to put good players in those positions.
Speaker 3: The other thing, too, is Washington will send a long
Speaker 3: ball up here and Seattle Rain will take this back
Speaker 3: at square, who moves the ball up the field to McCammon.
Speaker 3: McCammon still working through the middle here now trying to
Speaker 3: get the ball toward on the right, but it's cut
Speaker 3: away from Washington. They will now bring it out here
Speaker 3: in control Seattle. Here, we're ten minutes into this game,
Speaker 3: and the Rain right now have looked certainly more dangerous
Speaker 3: going forward, just as they did three weeks ago. But
Speaker 3: it also is the Washington Spirit are controlling this along
Speaker 3: they're along their back line. Laura Harvey talked about wanting
Speaker 3: to be more unpredictable, wanting to be more fluid with
Speaker 3: her team. She said that they believe that they saw
Speaker 3: the most fluidity in that game against Washington and in
Speaker 3: the game against Boston. So it's about being unpredictable, finding
Speaker 3: that fluidity that could lead to the offensive success they're
Speaker 3: looking for.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, and specifically in her billd out and so
Speaker 4: what she's saying there is she wants when they're in
Speaker 4: their defensive half, when the Rain have the ball coming
Speaker 4: out from Dickey and their back line, can we get
Speaker 4: different midfielders on the ball, different attackers. Can they move
Speaker 4: in different spaces so it's not so predictable because of
Speaker 4: the team Mike Washington Spirit. You do not want Rodman
Speaker 4: picking off a pass at the top of the eighteen.
Speaker 4: So how can you make it that they're constantly guessing
Speaker 4: what they're going to do next?
Speaker 3: And some air and passes from Washington have the ball
Speaker 3: back at the Rain feed. It's Stephen mclernan, one of
Speaker 3: our lead center backs alongside Jordan Bug who is returned
Speaker 3: to the field. She got her first start against Boston
Speaker 3: last week. I don't think it's any coincidence that she
Speaker 3: gets her first start in the Rain get their first
Speaker 3: win in five games.
Speaker 2: She's such an important player.
Speaker 3: A clearance will not go far enough and it will
Speaker 3: still be washing here on this right side. But a
Speaker 3: great play by Madison Curry to get in the way
Speaker 3: of that pass and send it out for a throw
Speaker 3: in here in the eleventh minute where zero zero is
Speaker 3: so far rain and spirit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they want to be careful there. So the
Speaker 4: rain the pass got picked off. Whereta was trying to
Speaker 4: play kind of a horizontal pass across the field. We
Speaker 4: call them a flat ball, so then it's pretty easy
Speaker 4: to pick up if you're an opposing player coming through,
Speaker 4: and that's what happened.
Speaker 5: It's super dangerous.
Speaker 4: So they want to keep aware that they can play
Speaker 4: vertically when they can higher up the field.
Speaker 3: Washington could not throw it in advance. They had to
Speaker 3: play negative, and now the ball is once again at
Speaker 3: their back it's Goguelmo on their left back spot trying
Speaker 3: to find a ball forward. Here is Rodman working on
Speaker 3: Cuerta and working on mcclernan. Mcclernan hits that out for
Speaker 3: another Washington thrown. You mentioned the name Rodman. I did
Speaker 3: there as well. Trinity Rodman one of the star players
Speaker 3: in this entire league. She became the youngest player about
Speaker 3: a month ago in NWSL history to have thirty goals
Speaker 3: and twenty assists. But since that game against Orlando, which
Speaker 3: was a four to two win, where she had a
Speaker 3: goal and two assists in that game, she has been
Speaker 3: off the score. She she kind of got a minor
Speaker 3: injury in that game against Seattle, and Trindy Rodman has
Speaker 3: not been the same players since that Orlando game. It
Speaker 3: was really in that Seattle game, Stephanie, where Trinity Rodman
Speaker 3: was a little bit erased and the rain did a
Speaker 3: tremendous job to shut down the star talent for Washington.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they definitely did. You could see her getting frustrated
Speaker 4: throughout the game. She was kind of throwing her hands up,
Speaker 4: she wasn't getting on the ball. At one point we
Speaker 4: saw her across the field, changed.
Speaker 5: Positions, come all the way back to get.
Speaker 4: The ball at her feet. I mean, she was just
Speaker 4: demanding it. She was so frustrated. You know, you kind
Speaker 4: of win when you get a player like that that
Speaker 4: frustrated because it changes their game. She's gonna actually dribble differently,
Speaker 4: She's gonna take different chances because she's frustrated. It's something
Speaker 4: she you know, as her development works on show, she'll
Speaker 4: figure out. She's also a really passionate player, very fun
Speaker 4: to watch. But it's great when you can kind of
Speaker 4: stifle that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you have a forward who has to retreat
Speaker 3: to the back line just to get involved and get touches,
Speaker 3: that's a good thing that you're doing there on the
Speaker 3: defensive end. But here is Washington now working up this
Speaker 3: left wing because Rodman has slipped back.
Speaker 2: A little bit towards kind of more of a midfield position.
Speaker 3: You can already see her working back in that formation
Speaker 3: just to get touches, to get more comfortable to.
Speaker 2: Get on the ball.
Speaker 3: A Trindy Rodman one of the ten international call ups
Speaker 3: that the Spirit have during this World Cup break. As
Speaker 3: they now attack off the right, a referee slips and
Speaker 3: falls and the play is advancing now to the left side.
Speaker 3: Here is Rodman working on two defenders and great job
Speaker 3: of howertz again in the way of that one and
Speaker 3: stop any would be attack for the Spirit and then
Speaker 3: tries to clear a ball and clear right off of
Speaker 3: Trindy Rodman's shoulder neck area.
Speaker 2: That's quite a big hit off of Trinity Rodman.
Speaker 3: But I think mclernan won't feel bad about that at all.
Speaker 4: Now, it's a great play by Howard to actually she
Speaker 4: comes back kind of a backslide tackle to just keep
Speaker 4: that ball from going through the back line.
Speaker 3: Almost looked like it went off Trindy Rodmins head there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was quite a clearance by mclernan. But Washington will
Speaker 3: take it from there. On end of the field. Sandy
Speaker 3: McIvor their goalkeeper, ball at her foot and they will
Speaker 3: now begin this press here with Maddie Dolleen pressing hard
Speaker 3: their goalkeeper and McIver just has to send this long
Speaker 3: ball forward. It's where where it's sending the ball forward,
Speaker 3: trying to reach Holly Ward, but Washington will cut that
Speaker 3: out and the Spirit will take it away trying to
Speaker 3: attack again. But it's this Seattle press right now that
Speaker 3: is getting in the way of any would be Spirit attack.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The Spirit actually don't look comfortable all swinging the ball
Speaker 4: along their back line right now.
Speaker 3: And Sofia Huerta earns a foul she was going up against.
Speaker 3: I believe that was Lacy Santos. Santos brings her down
Speaker 3: on a ball that was popped over the top and
Speaker 3: it will be a free kick for Seattle in their
Speaker 3: own end of the field.
Speaker 2: And talk more about that, Stephanie.
Speaker 3: I think this is one interesting part of this game
Speaker 3: is just watching the uncomfortability of Washington, a team that
Speaker 3: was playing a very similar way three weeks ago when
Speaker 3: they were handily outplayed by Seattle despite winning one nothing.
Speaker 3: I expected a fair bit more adjustments, and I haven't
Speaker 3: seen it yet. Seattle is playing a little bit similar
Speaker 3: to the way that they played three weeks ago, and
Speaker 3: now you just want to see that finish that you
Speaker 3: didn't get three weeks ago.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And again I'm not super surprised that there's not
Speaker 4: many adjustments from the Spirit. I mean, they're still sitting
Speaker 4: at number four. They still have some very strong players
Speaker 4: who feel really good and comfortable in what they do,
Speaker 4: and they already have been a fluid team.
Speaker 2: Here's you Almo, chance to cross it in.
Speaker 3: Not able to even get it past mcclernan, easily taken
Speaker 3: away by Seattle, and Huerta jukes out, a defender or
Speaker 3: an attacker sends the ball forward.
Speaker 2: Should be a foul. No foul called on Mercado.
Speaker 3: Washington still have it now in the middle of the
Speaker 3: park and they will kind of reset go ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I just and because of that, because
Speaker 4: you know, both teams are fluid in or what they're
Speaker 4: working on to be is to be fluid in this
Speaker 4: game and to set something. That's kind of why we
Speaker 4: said the sixty minutes, those last thirty minutes are really
Speaker 4: going to tell a lot.
Speaker 3: Ball slipped through here, here's a chance for Cantore in
Speaker 3: the box. Now to Rodman, chance to cut in. Lots
Speaker 3: of defending happening. Foul called on Trinity Rodman right outside
Speaker 3: the box. Yellow card given to Holly Ward. This will
Speaker 3: be a free kick for Washington. And what about one
Speaker 3: yard outside the penalty box and a dangerous free kick
Speaker 3: coming for the Spirit after that hard tackle on Trindy Rodman.
Speaker 4: What do you think I'm not sure that's a yellow card.
Speaker 4: I think it's probably a foul. Rodman does a great
Speaker 4: job to separate from her defender. She takes a big
Speaker 4: touch across her body and then Ward kind of steps
Speaker 4: in and collides with her.
Speaker 5: I think it's actually a pretty soft fowl.
Speaker 4: I think it's definitely not a yellow, but unfortunately it
Speaker 4: is in a very dangerous spot.
Speaker 3: And a collision right the collisions worse than the actual
Speaker 3: foul was, where Ward just tries to step in and
Speaker 3: get in the middle of the ball and the player,
Speaker 3: and that forced just the overwhelming speed of Trinity Rodman
Speaker 3: there quickly working off of that corner of the box.
Speaker 3: And here comes Lacey Santos, the thirty year old Columbian
Speaker 3: with a chance. Now there's a two person wall right
Speaker 3: in front of Claudia Dicky. Here's Santos over it, and
Speaker 3: she will go for goal and she will put it
Speaker 3: in the back of the net. Lacey Santos with a
Speaker 3: free kick from just outside the penalty box. After that foul,
Speaker 3: the yellow card foul by Holly Ward, Santos puts it
Speaker 3: past Claudia Dicky, right in between the wall and the
Speaker 3: group of players, and it's now Washington Spirit one Seattle,
Speaker 3: nothing in the eighteenth minute.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know it's a well placed ball.
Speaker 4: I think Seattle definitely will want this one back to
Speaker 4: try and defend it.
Speaker 5: You know, a Dickie and and it.
Speaker 4: Actually just sneaks over the head I think of as
Speaker 4: James Turner there, and so you know, she kind of
Speaker 4: curls it around. It's not high, it bounces right in
Speaker 4: front of Dickie. I think Dicky was blocked, couldn't see.
Speaker 4: She dives late, and it sneaks into that back post,
Speaker 4: not with a ton of power, but with a lot
Speaker 4: of precision, and she's able to get it through multiple
Speaker 4: defenders in that eighteen yard box.
Speaker 3: I think it's the height on that ball right above
Speaker 3: has right because I think that Claudia Dicky's watching that
Speaker 3: saying it's going to be headed away, and it's just
Speaker 3: it's the height on that that Dicky doesn't see, doesn't
Speaker 3: get hit away, and by the time she can react,
Speaker 3: it's just a little bit too late.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Again, And I don't want to be that person that
Speaker 4: says anything about the keeper after a goals scored, because
Speaker 4: it's you know, they got the ball down there, that
Speaker 4: it was a good kick by Santos. But I do
Speaker 4: think Dicky that might have been a little too casual.
Speaker 4: Only talked about this with her play before where she
Speaker 4: needs to dive there like.
Speaker 5: It's coming through. It's hard.
Speaker 4: There could have been a deflection, but you can't assume
Speaker 4: your player, your defender is going to head that out.
Speaker 5: You need to go with the ball.
Speaker 3: Oh, Seattle Rain right now down one nothing to Washington
Speaker 3: here in the first twenty minutes of this game. And
Speaker 3: for the Seattle Rain and they went five games a goal.
Speaker 3: They scored two at Boston in Rhode Island last week,
Speaker 3: and now they will need to score another two if
Speaker 3: they want a full three points today. So here we
Speaker 3: go with this Rain team and they will have to
Speaker 3: put numbers four, They will have to press, They will
Speaker 3: have to pull all the levers and push all the
Speaker 3: buttons to.
Speaker 2: Get the win here today.
Speaker 3: But they can do it, especially now that they've kind of,
Speaker 3: as Madison Curry talked about, have this new system under
Speaker 3: head coach Laura Harvey that they're getting more comfortable with.
Speaker 3: They took time to adjust, they're back in the system
Speaker 3: right now and you think you can see that it
Speaker 3: sort of is again a very goal that was very
Speaker 3: against the run and play This has been all the
Speaker 3: Rains game for the first eighteen minutes. That goal will
Speaker 3: certainly change some dynamics, but the Rain have been good
Speaker 3: creating chances in the first twenty they have.
Speaker 4: And what's hard is it really shifts the momentum. I
Speaker 4: think if you're watching the game, you think this is
Speaker 4: the Rains game. You know, the Spirit get this one chance,
Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden it looks like a
Speaker 4: one zero game where you need the energy that Laura
Speaker 4: Harvey talked about. You need the press, you need the
Speaker 4: you know, the organization, the communication to be a team
Speaker 4: like the Spirit.
Speaker 5: So the Rain need to play like their tide zero zero.
Speaker 3: There's a ball towards that far post, Maddy Dollen on it.
Speaker 3: It's just clipped away there from Gabriellecarl and this will
Speaker 3: go out if I believe for a corner kick here.
Speaker 3: The Rain will have a corner kick here as the
Speaker 3: clock strikes twenty and it will go to Sophia Hoyerta,
Speaker 3: who will be over this corner. We see Washington head
Speaker 3: coach Adrian Gonzalez, the Coach of the Month in April
Speaker 3: for this Washington Spirit team that was dominant in the
Speaker 3: month of April. They went into conca caff Action recently
Speaker 3: played two games last week, got to win over Pajuca
Speaker 3: and then lost the concor CAF final. The Club America
Speaker 3: Washington Spirit, one of the best teams in NWSL. Here
Speaker 3: comes the corner, goes to the near post for Dolleen,
Speaker 3: bounces around still with the rain. Now back out to
Speaker 3: the left. Here swhere to still over it has some help.
Speaker 3: She will cross it again in headed away from Washington.
Speaker 3: Now cleared, but only cleared a little bit. Is still
Speaker 3: with Seattle. Here's mcclern or, here's bug on it, bug
Speaker 3: clipping a ball in. It's do lean in the penalty box,
Speaker 3: working against the defender, hand raised and will be a
Speaker 3: handball there in the box on Seattle. It will go
Speaker 3: now for a Washington free kick from inside their own
Speaker 3: penalty box.
Speaker 2: The referees just holding up play.
Speaker 3: Is a lot of crosses in there, and that's one
Speaker 3: of something that Laura Harvey talked a lot about Stephanie
Speaker 3: is the types of crosses that she wants to see
Speaker 3: from this team.
Speaker 2: And it was.
Speaker 3: Across actually both crosses that led to goals for Seattle
Speaker 3: in Boston. Won a long cross into the box that
Speaker 3: creates a handball, the other one, of course being Curry
Speaker 3: to Doleen. But it's those types of crosses that certainly
Speaker 3: Laura Harvey wants to see.
Speaker 4: It is, she said, the crosses from the half space.
Speaker 4: We talked about that, that's where Queerta likes to live
Speaker 4: a lot and kind you're kind of in that internal
Speaker 4: channel and you ping it in and hope that folks
Speaker 4: are running in. She said she likes to have four
Speaker 4: players in the box generally. I think they've been inconsistent
Speaker 4: with that at times and getting the numbers in the
Speaker 4: box that they want to. It's definitely where they're looking
Speaker 4: to score most of their goals. And she talked a
Speaker 4: lot about production, production, production in this call, and she
Speaker 4: wants more from her attacking players.
Speaker 3: Here's the Rain trying to work in the washing penalty box.
Speaker 3: They're asking for a handball and no call given. Here
Speaker 3: is the Spirit on the counter. Here's Kuassie Kulassie working
Speaker 3: with a couple players. Now here's Rodman all the way
Speaker 3: on the left. She is fast and she has space
Speaker 3: into the penalty box. Shot great stop there by Fami
Speaker 3: mclernan to get in the way of that Trinity Rodman shot.
Speaker 3: Outstanding recovery there by mclernan to get in the way
Speaker 3: of that one for a fast player in Rodman, and
Speaker 3: what a great service by Guassie as well.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Cowassi and Robin are some of the fastest players
Speaker 4: on the ball in the league. And then when they're
Speaker 4: matchup together, I mean they covered thirty forty yards so quickly,
Speaker 4: and mclarnan does a great diving save there to block
Speaker 4: anything going towards a goal.
Speaker 3: Really good defensive play by mclernan on that counter attack
Speaker 3: by Washington. When Trinity Robin has that much space and
Speaker 3: the ball at her feet, usually good things happen. And
Speaker 3: that is a testament to the great defensive play that
Speaker 3: mclernan just made. But it will stay with Washington here
Speaker 3: leading one nothing goal about five minutes ago from Lacy
Speaker 3: Santos on the free kick from about nineteen yards out.
Speaker 3: Seattle Rain will have to fight back from one nothing
Speaker 3: down in the final sixty plus minutes of this game.
Speaker 3: Stays with Washington here on this end. Lots of good
Speaker 3: defensive pressure from Seattle, they will earn a foul free
Speaker 3: kick for the Rain and that counterattack for as much
Speaker 3: promise as that had for one minute, will not get
Speaker 3: anything for the Spirit. Those are the kind of stops
Speaker 3: Seattle Rain absolutely need down one nothing because you cannot
Speaker 3: afford to go down too to this Spirit team that
Speaker 3: again was just in a Coca CAF final week ago.
Speaker 4: And you know what surprised me so far with how
Speaker 4: the Spirit are playing is I mean shouldn't because this
Speaker 4: is who they are, but they are playing very aggressively.
Speaker 4: I mean, I want to say, that's like the fourth
Speaker 4: or fifth foul that we've seen already, and they're going
Speaker 4: into every fifty to fifty and Brain players are kind
Speaker 4: of falling left and right, and that.
Speaker 3: Should have been a sixth foul. Sophia Horitze was brought down.
Speaker 3: The attack maintained here on the right side for Washington
Speaker 3: chance for them to cross it and takes a deflection
Speaker 3: off of Madison Curry and that will be out for
Speaker 3: a Washington Spirit corner kick. And yeah, you can already
Speaker 3: feel that goal has certainly changed the makeup of this game.
Speaker 3: The first eighteen minutes we're all Seattle and now we're
Speaker 3: already kind of seeing the dynamic changing and if it's
Speaker 3: going to be a lot of counter attacks for the Spirit.
Speaker 3: You're really gonna need Bug and mcclernan and Huerta and
Speaker 3: Curry to recover on that defensive end as Seattle will
Speaker 3: push numbers forward. But here comes a corner kick for
Speaker 3: the Washington with Lacy Santos here in the twenty fifth minute,
Speaker 3: the goal scorer for the Spirit today. There'll be an
Speaker 3: outswinger from the far side the right. She will go short,
Speaker 3: another chance to cross it in back to Santos on
Speaker 3: her left foot, crossing it forward, takes it aflection now
Speaker 3: going to the back stick, still with Washington has good
Speaker 3: pressure there Mercado, but chance to cross for Rodman cuts
Speaker 3: in now crossing and headed away, good headed from mcclernan.
Speaker 3: Follow up shot still with Rodman still at the far
Speaker 3: post into the assist zone, crossing it back post, headed
Speaker 3: away again from Huerta and now cleared away from Maddie Dollen.
Speaker 2: A rush of pressure there from Washington. With a few chances.
Speaker 3: Seattle did well with it, but it stays with the
Speaker 3: Spirit now here on this right side. Lit'tle flip over
Speaker 3: into the box asking for handballs, asking for fouls, still
Speaker 3: with Washington back out on this right side once again
Speaker 3: looking for some space to cross going up against has
Speaker 3: James Turner Cross comes in, takes it aflection and we
Speaker 3: will see where we get to here as Seattle right
Speaker 3: now will have to deal maybe with another goalkick.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that last little bit with Washington Spirit, you
Speaker 4: can tell the type of team that they are. I
Speaker 4: don't want to call it chaotic, because they are very fluid.
Speaker 4: They're very good at moving together in different spaces. And
Speaker 4: we talked about this the last game. I mean, trittyde
Speaker 4: Rodbin crossed the field multiple times, played different positions just
Speaker 4: trying to find the ball. They have multiple players that
Speaker 4: do that, Cantore Martinez when she comes in, and so
Speaker 4: one of the issues is there are so many players
Speaker 4: around the box for the Spirit that feel like they
Speaker 4: could score at any moment, and that is very, very dangerous,
Speaker 4: especially when the rain are trying to get back into
Speaker 4: this game. It's a one zero game. They really need
Speaker 4: to find that momentum to be able to keep pushing.
Speaker 4: And when you have, you know, it feels like eight
Speaker 4: to nine players around that eighteen yard box at any moment.
Speaker 5: It is so hard to feel comfortable.
Speaker 4: And they have twenty minutes until this halftime they need
Speaker 4: to find that comfort so they can have confidence for
Speaker 4: themselves to go forward and create their own chances.
Speaker 3: So here we go, we'll get the updated situation for
Speaker 3: just a moment. It's a Washington Spirit team right now
Speaker 3: that have not won an NWSL game since since the
Speaker 3: Seattle win about three weeks ago. And it's a Washington
Speaker 3: Spirit team that is coming off of a Conca Caff
Speaker 3: performance where they fell in the final by a score
Speaker 3: of five to three. High scoring game there, but a
Speaker 3: game that a little bit exposed how their defense can
Speaker 3: sometimes be exposed.
Speaker 2: And they made changes the back.
Speaker 3: You still have one of their best players, center back,
Speaker 3: Tara Rudd is their right center back, but their left
Speaker 3: center back now they made a change there. So obviously
Speaker 3: not happy their head coach, Adrian Gonzalez, not happy with
Speaker 3: the defensive performances that they had in that Conca Caff final.
Speaker 3: There's a cross coming in here, Trindy Rodman at the
Speaker 3: back post, and she will not be able to handle
Speaker 3: that one and it will be out for a goalkick
Speaker 3: here in the twenty eighth minute.
Speaker 4: Oh and Trinity Rodman at the back post. It's just
Speaker 4: the last thing you want to hear when you're on
Speaker 4: the field and they're doing again a great job. Kuwassi
Speaker 4: cannot be stated enough how dangerous of a player she is.
Speaker 4: And again, when you have Rodman and Quassi on both sides,
Speaker 4: they're really coming down both. They don't prioritize one. Actually,
Speaker 4: they're dangerous on both sides. And the way that the
Speaker 4: Rains sometimes like to prioritize square to attacking or Dalline
Speaker 4: attacking on the left, there's.
Speaker 5: Some balance to both of these teams.
Speaker 4: And so again I mean these last you know, now
Speaker 4: less than twenty minutes before this half, we really need
Speaker 4: to see a momentum shift for the Rain to go
Speaker 4: into half only one zero.
Speaker 3: Now right now we're into the twenty ninth minute of
Speaker 3: this game, Washington leading one nothing. They have the ball
Speaker 3: along their back line now with Bug and mcclernan, and
Speaker 3: you're just waiting for Seattle Rain to break through here
Speaker 3: and hopefully not get a counterattack against them. They will
Speaker 3: earn a foul from just inside their own half the field,
Speaker 3: and Seattle, already trying to work fast, referee will hold
Speaker 3: her up for just a moment. You can already feel
Speaker 3: the quickness of this Rain team. They want to kind
Speaker 3: of work back very fast and try to get things going.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I like that. I actually like that little body language. Right,
Speaker 5: the ball goes down, they don't want to mess around,
Speaker 5: they don't want to send it long.
Speaker 4: Put the ball on the ground, move it and let's
Speaker 4: get everyone on the same page.
Speaker 5: And the ball higher up the field.
Speaker 3: There's Ward on this right side trying to win that
Speaker 3: ball back. But it's good Galmo who takes it away
Speaker 3: still with Seattle, though it's going into a lot of tackles.
Speaker 3: There is McCammon, but it is another takeaway here and
Speaker 3: Washington have a chance to break here potentially quickly, but
Speaker 3: not a good enough ball to their right side of
Speaker 3: the field. They will have to hold it up and
Speaker 3: quickly the Rain gets set back up on their defensive
Speaker 3: end and Washington will have to work just a little
Speaker 3: bit slower. And now another physical play in the middle
Speaker 3: of the park, Rain asking for a foul there is
Speaker 3: I believe that was Mercato at the top getting dragged down.
Speaker 3: But it's that physicality you talked about a few minutes ago,
Speaker 3: Washington playing. You know, I talked about the adjustments from
Speaker 3: three weeks ago, the adjustment that I'm seeing the most.
Speaker 2: Is that physicality.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely physicality.
Speaker 4: I would also say they're a little bit more patient
Speaker 4: in their buildout than they were when we first saw
Speaker 4: them a few weeks ago. They're willing to swing it,
Speaker 4: They're willing to go out the other side. They're a
Speaker 4: very good team, but I sense from them a confidence
Speaker 4: in that that they're able to slow the game down,
Speaker 4: just at least not when they're in their deep defensive ends.
Speaker 3: There's Kawassie chance to cross it in blocked immediately and
Speaker 3: good job there by has James Turner to take that
Speaker 3: one away back to ward laying it off and Seattle
Speaker 3: working with a little bit of pressure but passing the
Speaker 3: ball around.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: It was kind of interesting, you know, in those first
Speaker 3: few scoreless games that we had, especially that Utah game
Speaker 3: about a month ago, the issue for Seattle was the
Speaker 3: defensive giveaways. That issue has changed to offensive scoring in
Speaker 3: the finishing balls, but the defensive giveaways, at least since
Speaker 3: that little stretch highlighted around the Utah game, been much better.
Speaker 3: And you look at that series right there where the
Speaker 3: pressure from Washington was on Seattle doing very very well
Speaker 3: to pass under pressure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely not only their back line and Bug and
Speaker 4: Curry and Huerta, who are very composed and under pressure.
Speaker 4: We saw that even last week against Boston. Boston had
Speaker 4: a pretty high press as well, and so they do
Speaker 4: that comfortably. They also really rely on their holding mids
Speaker 4: in this formation and in this structure, and so you
Speaker 4: know that's has, that's James Turner coming down and being comfortable,
Speaker 4: it's Ainsley McCammon. Both of those players really really set
Speaker 4: the stage for how the Rain can build out in
Speaker 4: different ways, and Laura Harvey focused on that this week.
Speaker 4: She said those players are going to be huge for
Speaker 4: them in order to build out.
Speaker 3: Seattle passing along their back line of ball head to
Speaker 3: Holly Ward and was immediately fouled by Washington and more
Speaker 3: physical play there from the Spirit as Seattle has a
Speaker 3: free kick and they will lay it off and try
Speaker 3: to play out of the middle of the park. Here
Speaker 3: with Bug over to the left side for Curry. Curry
Speaker 3: trying to find the field for James Turner. She cannot
Speaker 3: connect with Maddy Dollen and is taken away by the
Speaker 3: Spirit here in the thirty second minute, Washington Spirit leading
Speaker 3: one nothing. An eighteenth minute goal by Lacy Santos off
Speaker 3: of a free kick is how they got their lead.
Speaker 3: And they will now try to build out of the
Speaker 3: back with some high press by the Seattle rain now
Speaker 3: ball on to the right side for them using their
Speaker 3: full backs to try to get something going out of
Speaker 3: the back. Here's Kossie going up against that left side
Speaker 3: and his physical play there. But a great play there,
Speaker 3: I believe from James Turner to give in the way
Speaker 3: of that and stop any would be attacked there from Kawassie.
Speaker 3: Ball up all the way towards McCammon. But that's out
Speaker 3: and it will stay with Seattle here with a throwing
Speaker 3: on this near side.
Speaker 2: The right throwing comes quickly.
Speaker 3: It's that pace, it's that attempted quick build up, but
Speaker 3: it's Washington taking it away. Now they have the chance
Speaker 3: to counter Santos calling out a play sending a long
Speaker 3: ball four but cut out well by Madison Curry to
Speaker 3: get in the way of that one and send it
Speaker 3: all the way back to Washington's goalkeeper, Sandy McIver.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's really pink ponging back around in this
Speaker 4: midfield right now. Neither team is established establishing a good
Speaker 4: rhythm or you know, overt possession, and so it's kind
Speaker 4: of going back and forth, and we're seeing the physical
Speaker 4: play and it feels like really really fifty to fifty
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 3: It certainly does a foul called there on the spirit
Speaker 3: just inside of their own half. Gabrielle Karl with a
Speaker 3: rather large collision there taking just a moment here to
Speaker 3: breathe after what was some furious back and forth play
Speaker 3: in the middle of the park there for the last
Speaker 3: couple of minutes of this game, and for Seattle, Sally
Speaker 3: Menti taking an extra minute there, the Roosevelt High School alum,
Speaker 3: just making sure she is okay. It was an interesting
Speaker 3: change that head coach Laurel Harvey made for that Boston match,
Speaker 3: putting Sallymenti in that number ten spot. Obviously, with the
Speaker 3: injury to Jeff Fishlock, the big question is can the
Speaker 3: Seattle rain find in number ten? Can they find a
Speaker 3: central attacking midfielder who can make up for the loss
Speaker 3: of Jess Fishlock and Sally Menti, who has a lot
Speaker 3: of promising talent. The young twenty four year old from
Speaker 3: Roosevelt High School and Santa Clara University, she is up
Speaker 3: for it, as she was started in that Boston game
Speaker 3: and getting another start here today, her third of the year.
Speaker 3: But a free kick coming for Seattle. A long time
Speaker 3: for this free kick setup, probably about forty yards out
Speaker 3: from goal is will be Sophia Auerta over it raises
Speaker 3: her left hand, sending the long ball towards the far post,
Speaker 3: and nearly had Maddy Mercato at that far post. Takes
Speaker 3: a couple of bounces around and we'll go into the
Speaker 3: arms easily of Sandy mckiv or in goal for Washing.
Speaker 3: But you had that far post there from Mercado. She
Speaker 3: was set up and that ball was headed there from
Speaker 3: Sophia Aguerta.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's a good ball from Werta.
Speaker 4: And again, I think when we're talking about again, the
Speaker 4: word that Laura Harvey used was production. Production means, you know,
Speaker 4: good shots on frame. It doesn't just mean goals, means
Speaker 4: good third entry passes, you know, it's it's assists. It's
Speaker 4: anything that creates a really hard chance that they have
Speaker 4: to defend, either by shot blocking or a good saved
Speaker 4: by the keeper. And I think one thing we're seeing
Speaker 4: right now is the rain are still creating chances. They're
Speaker 4: still in this game. There is a need for that
Speaker 4: final piece, a better production at the end. It needs
Speaker 4: to be a better shot on frame, a better header.
Speaker 4: They need to challenge mcguiber moore.
Speaker 3: Here's Lacy Santos playing right through the middle of Seattle
Speaker 3: and here's Kassi now on this right side. Kawassi getting
Speaker 3: right to that end line, chance across cross comes in
Speaker 3: shot right to the right of the post. A very
Speaker 3: good quick build up from the Washington Spirit and there's
Speaker 3: I believe Cantory at the end of that one, putting
Speaker 3: it just wide. A dangerous moment there as Washington Spirit
Speaker 3: with some really pinpoint passing in the final third to
Speaker 3: nearly create a goal, and the rain.
Speaker 4: We're out of shape here, so they were a little
Speaker 4: unorganized and you know, just kind of in that emergency defending.
Speaker 4: We've talked about that flee Pebe mcclernan so good at
Speaker 4: what she's not exceptionally great at is one B one
Speaker 4: defending out wide because that's not her role as a
Speaker 4: center back. But we saw Kawassi get the ball wide
Speaker 4: there and charge at mcclernant and she easily surpassed her.
Speaker 4: And you know, Kawassi is one of those players that
Speaker 4: recognizes when it's not a great matchup. She drives towards
Speaker 4: that end line, and she is someone they have to
Speaker 4: watch the whole game.
Speaker 3: As long as she is in mclaran trying to send
Speaker 3: a fall bar forward to Mercado, it's cut out more
Speaker 3: physical play, a hard foul there, and it's going to
Speaker 3: be Rebecca Bernald down for Washington's Mercado getting a talking to.
Speaker 3: No card given, though, but it's that physical play going
Speaker 3: back and forth. I think Seattle in the first thirty
Speaker 3: minutes of this game saw the physicality from Washington. Now
Speaker 3: they're matching it. Foul called there. I wonder, you know,
Speaker 3: at a certain point from a reugh reaspect, imagine you
Speaker 3: as a player kind of experienced that where all right,
Speaker 3: you've set the tone that physical play is going to
Speaker 3: be allowed.
Speaker 2: Then you've got to make sure it goes both ways.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's what everyone always says, right, It's
Speaker 4: got to go both ways.
Speaker 5: It's got to be consistent.
Speaker 4: And so you know, the first the yellow card early on,
Speaker 4: I think we say, like we said, it was a
Speaker 4: professional foul that had to be done.
Speaker 5: But we haven't seen.
Speaker 4: A card since, and you know, there's there's definitely they're
Speaker 4: pushing the line right now. I think we're edging towards
Speaker 4: some yellow cards.
Speaker 3: Potentially exactly with as much physical play as there was
Speaker 3: as Maddie Mercado with that foul. Washington picked it up
Speaker 3: and they've gone all the way very quickly to their
Speaker 3: own end after a long ball. But it will be
Speaker 3: out for a goalkick for Claudia Dickie. We can talk
Speaker 3: about Claudia Dickey for a moment in this game, because
Speaker 3: it's it's worth talking about her call to the United
Speaker 3: States national team. And right now is you look ahead
Speaker 3: to not only the games coming up for the United States,
Speaker 3: but also you look ahead to the major international tournaments
Speaker 3: coming up in the coming you know, even you know,
Speaker 3: three four five years. Claudia Dickie right now, twenty six
Speaker 3: years old, she has a chance to really become the
Speaker 3: long term starting goalkeeper of the United States national team
Speaker 3: for quite a long time right.
Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, which is so impressive with her young game,
Speaker 4: I mean the confidence that she plays with, you know,
Speaker 4: playing well at her feet and coming out on crosses.
Speaker 4: Those are two areas of the game that can be
Speaker 4: hard for a young keeper to really, you know, really
Speaker 4: do well at especially when you're playing against you know,
Speaker 4: well experienced players and everything. So her game is incredible.
Speaker 4: It's pretty obvious by the opportunity she's being given. And
Speaker 4: the best part about you know, keeper opportunities is the
Speaker 4: ability to stay in there consistently.
Speaker 3: A bit of an interesting play there is the throw
Speaker 3: and led to a quick back and forth with Lacey Santuz,
Speaker 3: who tried it a shot from about thirty five yards
Speaker 3: out that went to a good ten yards wide of
Speaker 3: goal sorry to interrupted issues. Lazy Sandals was quickly trying
Speaker 3: to catch Claudia Dickie out a goal, but it was
Speaker 3: nowhere near on.
Speaker 2: Frame go ahead.
Speaker 4: Basically, I think she heard us talking about how good
Speaker 4: she was and she was like, let's just test her out,
Speaker 4: you know, but definitely not the shot she wanted there.
Speaker 4: And yeah, like we said, Claudia Dickie, I think the
Speaker 4: unique thing about a goalkeeper position is the every coach
Speaker 4: really really wants consistency and that position. They don't want
Speaker 4: to be switching it back and forth. You're not going
Speaker 4: to see two keepers come into a game, and so
Speaker 4: Audia Dicky can earn that number one spot. I mean
Speaker 4: I would expect to see her there for like you
Speaker 4: said years to come.
Speaker 3: I mean they had those three games against Japan there
Speaker 3: what was that in April and one of the games
Speaker 3: was against Lumen at lumen Field, and unfortunately Dicky did
Speaker 3: not get the start of the Lumenfield game. She got
Speaker 3: the two starts of the three games, the two that
Speaker 3: weren't a Luminfield, which was a little bit frustrating, but
Speaker 3: nonetheless it was we mean what we in our first
Speaker 3: broadcast had a United States National team head coach Ema
Speaker 3: Hayes on and she loves Dicky's game. The only question
Speaker 3: is can Dicky do the work and continue to work
Speaker 3: hard and get better in those moments of less pressure
Speaker 3: like that free kick that Lacy Santos scored in the
Speaker 3: eighteenth minute to establish she will be the long term
Speaker 3: starting goalkeeper for the national team. And certainly Ema Hayes
Speaker 3: will watch that game and she will watch that free
Speaker 3: kick and have guidance for her top keeper. But in
Speaker 3: this game, it is one nothing washing and they are
Speaker 3: sending a long bellfoward as Dickie's able to grab that
Speaker 3: one right in front of Trinity Rodman. Long ball ahead.
Speaker 3: But that was a good moment from the Seattle rain goalkeeper.
Speaker 4: Yeah, great moment. She comes out with such confidence. That's
Speaker 4: what Laura Harvey said. She almost never comes out specifically
Speaker 4: on crosses and misses it, so she either comes out
Speaker 4: and grabs it or she knows that she won't get
Speaker 4: there in time. But I will say, in these last
Speaker 4: five minutes, we have seen the Spirit break the Seattle rains,
Speaker 4: press the defensive press multiple times. So I wouldn't be
Speaker 4: surprised if aft halftime Laura Harvey really wants some changes there.
Speaker 3: Well, it's one nothing right now five minutes before the half, Stephanie,
Speaker 3: and I'm wondering what your keys to this final five
Speaker 3: minutes are for Seattle.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, with the way the momentum is going, I would
Speaker 4: say almost just kind of get back, get organized, lock in,
Speaker 4: do not let them score.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't push super hard for a goal here.
Speaker 4: The Spirit have a lot of momentum and multiple strong players,
Speaker 4: and you know Rodman and Quassi are kind of going
Speaker 4: at them, So I would say, stay organized, don't do
Speaker 4: anything crazy, you know, keep your midfie others on the ball,
Speaker 4: find your forward stretching the line if possible, and if not,
Speaker 4: just really really be organized in the back because.
Speaker 3: You have a good bench right now with a Damis
Speaker 3: and with Radcliffe, who scored a couple of goals this year.
Speaker 3: The talented me official Sammes is also available off the bench.
Speaker 3: It is a strong bench for Seattle Rain. You just
Speaker 3: want to make sure this game stays one. Nothing here
Speaker 3: or you can find a goal against the run of play,
Speaker 3: just like Washington did. But here is another counter. Here
Speaker 3: is the Spirit working through the middle. Here's Santos once
Speaker 3: again tearing right through Seattle's middle. Now here's Carl to Kuwassie.
Speaker 2: In the box.
Speaker 3: But a great job by mcclernan to cut that one
Speaker 3: out and clear it all the way back to the
Speaker 3: middle of the park. It's gonna take I think a
Speaker 3: lot of moments like that where Washington wanted to work
Speaker 3: quickly in transition and emergency defending from Seattle's talented back line.
Speaker 2: This is a Rain team.
Speaker 3: I mean, Stephan, we haven't talked about the defensive prowess
Speaker 3: of this team yet, but really this season, defense has
Speaker 3: been the hallmark and what they've been able to rely
Speaker 3: on for a lot of points.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it has.
Speaker 4: We've talked about how consistently this back line, you know,
Speaker 4: with the exception of Jordan Bug has been together even
Speaker 4: to the end of last year and end of this year,
Speaker 4: and that consistency is super helpful and something they need
Speaker 4: to rely on in these games. But you can see
Speaker 4: even right now the mclernan and Curry at times have
Speaker 4: switched positions and they need to That consistency is what
Speaker 4: allows them to do that, to do that emergency defending
Speaker 4: when they're in transition, trying.
Speaker 5: To get back and catch players like Kawassi, Cantore and Rodman.
Speaker 4: I mean, those players are hard to catch up with
Speaker 4: and then hard to defend.
Speaker 2: Seattle's press is on.
Speaker 3: As the ball is at the foot of Washington's goalkeeper,
Speaker 3: MacIver will send it long, reaches the head all the
Speaker 3: way to Kawassie and she will not be able to
Speaker 3: gather that. When a go all the way to mclernan
Speaker 3: and then to Claudia Dicky in goal who works out
Speaker 3: of the back here and now works out of the
Speaker 3: back quickly. Chance for Seattle maybe transition here on this
Speaker 3: right side where it's a going too fast, Washington has
Speaker 3: the chance to kind of get set up long ball forward,
Speaker 3: nobody home. Washington's back line will take that one out.
Speaker 3: We're into the forty third minute here at Audy Field
Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. Spirit leading the Rain by a
Speaker 3: score of one nothing. You know, what could be a
Speaker 3: back and forth last fifty eight minutes of this game
Speaker 3: is Rodman Rodman trying to football into the box here
Speaker 3: to Ken Torre and the Santos a couple of players there.
Speaker 3: But an excellent job by Jordan Bugg this time to
Speaker 3: take that one away and clear it back out.
Speaker 4: You know, I was just about to say that I
Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if we saw Cocoa Mandas here in
Speaker 4: here early Holly Ward hasn't done an amazing job getting
Speaker 4: up with the ball and creating that that chances on
Speaker 4: the on the side. And I just saw co go
Speaker 4: standing up, So I'm not going to say that I
Speaker 4: was right. Maybe she'll come in aute half, or maybe
Speaker 4: Laura Harvey was just pointing out, you know something to
Speaker 4: her there. But I expect to see her, if not
Speaker 4: at halftime early on into the second half.
Speaker 3: That would make a lot of sense. And you think
Speaker 3: about the offensive players and this team could make a
Speaker 3: big impact. The one for one of Mandas here for
Speaker 3: Ward makes a lot of sense. If you aren't getting
Speaker 3: enough out of Murcaala. You can get a me official on.
Speaker 3: You know, Rack Cliff is a winger if you need
Speaker 3: that swapped. Maddie Dolleen had a few very very good
Speaker 3: minutes in the first eighteen minutes of this game. She's
Speaker 3: been a little bit silent from there. But there are
Speaker 3: a lot of options for head coach Laura Harvey, who's
Speaker 3: the most decorated coach in this league's history. If anybody's
Speaker 3: gonna make the changes to get Seattle back in this
Speaker 3: game and get back points in Washington, it is the
Speaker 3: legend Laura Harvey. Now here's a ball to Mercado working
Speaker 3: against two defenders. Ball pops up and it's into the
Speaker 3: back of the net. Is it going to be a
Speaker 3: goal for Mercado? Is it going to be an own goal?
Speaker 3: It's a ball that kind of came out of nowhere.
Speaker 2: Cross came in.
Speaker 3: We'll see if they credit Mrcado, who is in between
Speaker 3: two defenders, and we'll get a replay and see how
Speaker 3: exactly this ball went over the jumping Sanny McIver, the
Speaker 3: goalkeeper for Washington, who came out of her goal and
Speaker 3: was clearly off track. Here.
Speaker 2: As we watch the replay.
Speaker 3: That does take a tip off of Mercado who sticks
Speaker 3: out her foot and it bounces perfectly off of that
Speaker 3: left foot. Ooh, was that other a defend need a
Speaker 3: closer look there.
Speaker 2: That is going to be an own goal.
Speaker 3: It is going to be an onn goal there on
Speaker 3: Googilmo and who puts it into her own back of
Speaker 3: the net as she gets her right foot on it,
Speaker 3: it goes over her goalkeeper Sandy mckiver a long ball
Speaker 3: over the top to Mercado.
Speaker 2: Stephanie, that wow, what a goal? That wow is right?
Speaker 4: You know, I hate an own goal when there's a
Speaker 4: player there that's causing the pressure and is so obviously
Speaker 4: creating that play. You know, of course it is an
Speaker 4: own goal where Guiermo did not have the clearance that
Speaker 4: she wanted there, but an amazing pass from Curry to
Speaker 4: just drop that over the end with a runner like
Speaker 4: Mercado stretching the line and is able to again put
Speaker 4: that defender under pressure and just kind of chipped mcguyver.
Speaker 4: I mean it kind of like you said, it came
Speaker 4: out of nowheer. But a very good build up.
Speaker 3: There's a cross coming in and great job there by
Speaker 3: Dicky to grab that one out of that kick, we
Speaker 3: got plus three added minutes here at the end of
Speaker 3: this first half. I'm gonna talk again about Madison Curry
Speaker 3: because she had the assist in that Boston game from
Speaker 3: the wide long ball that reaches the back post to
Speaker 3: Maddie Doleen, and she has, as you mentioned, that long
Speaker 3: kick there in the box that Gougelmo misjudges on her
Speaker 3: right foot, puts it over her goalkeeper, and the Rain
Speaker 3: have the equalizer right before halftime, one to one. And
Speaker 3: now the big question going into the second half, Stephanie,
Speaker 3: is how will the dynamic change the first eighteen minutes
Speaker 3: We're all Seattle. Since the eighteenth minute, this game has
Speaker 3: been back forth, transition, transitions, Seattle trying to build up
Speaker 3: Washington transitions, emergency defending. How does that change if, I mean,
Speaker 3: there's still a minute and a half left in this half.
Speaker 2: But you wonder how the second half.
Speaker 3: Begins in this one to one game if it resumes
Speaker 3: the dynamic from the start of this game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was about to say, now the scorer line
Speaker 4: actually just tracks what the game is. So it is
Speaker 4: a fifty to fifty game. It's very back and forth.
Speaker 4: Neither team again has very good, you know, rhythm or
Speaker 4: tone or kind of setting the stage. It's going back
Speaker 4: and forth. There's lots of challenges and so to your point,
Speaker 4: I don't I actually don't know if we see a
Speaker 4: ton of changes, except again, Washington played two games last
Speaker 4: week and the Rain. They have lots of good talent
Speaker 4: on the bench. They have a very deep bench with
Speaker 4: people that can come in and add to that press,
Speaker 4: which we have seen drop off a little bit, the Rains.
Speaker 5: Defensive press that has dropped off.
Speaker 4: And so you know, I still expect both coaches to
Speaker 4: stick to their game plan, but maybe with some new players,
Speaker 4: with some new legs.
Speaker 5: In that first fifteen minutes, long.
Speaker 3: Ball from Makaiver will go all the way to Dicky,
Speaker 3: right through the middle of the park. As we're into
Speaker 3: the final forty five seconds of the added three, Seattle
Speaker 3: finding the equalizer a forty fourth minute own goal by
Speaker 3: the Washington Life's back Lucia di Gaguilllmo, and that gets
Speaker 3: this right back in. And it's interesting because we were
Speaker 3: talking about Mond Decier at halftime. We're talking about all
Speaker 3: the potential changes to get offensive weapons in. Plans may
Speaker 3: have just changed with that wild own goal. There but
Speaker 3: here is still the final few seconds of this first half.
Speaker 3: Here's Kuwassi working on the right side, getting by two midfielders.
Speaker 3: Now a chance to cross it in. Great tackle from
Speaker 3: Madison Curry there. Curry's been excellent today and she will
Speaker 3: create that tackle right there at the edge of the box.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, if we have a player of the first half,
Speaker 4: it's for sure Madison courna only as she made some
Speaker 4: amazing defensive stops, but again her service has just been incredible.
Speaker 3: We'll see our referee today, Alexandra bill Etter. She will
Speaker 3: call halftime there. That will be the full three minutes
Speaker 3: and that will be the first half. It was a
Speaker 3: dominant first eighteen minutes for Seattle to get them in
Speaker 3: position to look for an opening goal. But it was
Speaker 3: a free kick by Lacy Santos that give Washing No.
Speaker 3: One nothing lead, and then an own goal by Lucia
Speaker 3: Diguelmo in the forty fourth minutes give Seattle their goal.
Speaker 3: It's one to one going into the half. We'll get
Speaker 3: a break and we'll get to the halftime show and
Speaker 3: talk about a back and forth first half that will
Speaker 3: come up next here on Sports Radio nine fifty KJR AM.
Speaker 8: It started as a puddle in the shower.
Speaker 9: Uh oh. Then the kitchen scene started bagging up. Yeah,

Speaker 1: On Sports radio nine FIFTY.
Speaker 3: kJ welcome into the halftime Show seattle Rain Right. Now
Speaker 3: with a one to one game Against Washington's spirit at the,
Speaker 3: Half this was a game where the first eighteen minutes
Speaker 3: went all Towards. Seattle they were dominating the, game but
Speaker 3: then a foul right on the edge of the box
Speaker 3: set Up Lacey, santos the central attacking midfielder For, washington
Speaker 3: with a free. Kick she hit it from about nineteen yards,
Speaker 3: out went over the head of Has James, turner went
Speaker 3: into the far corner of the, goal Pass Claudia dickie
Speaker 3: that Gave washington and won nothing. Lead the game was
Speaker 3: back and, forth lots of transition, moments and then the
Speaker 3: forty fourth, minute mass And curry sends a long cross
Speaker 3: To Maddie mercado who's in between two. Defenders one of
Speaker 3: those defenders was the right back For washington left back
Speaker 3: For Washington Lucilia, digauelmo and The italian puts the ball
Speaker 3: into her own, net over her, goalkeeper and that is
Speaker 3: an own goal that Gets Seattle rain their goal to
Speaker 3: lead us to one to. One Jackson felts And Stephanie
Speaker 3: verdoya here On Sports radio nine to fifty KGr am And,
Speaker 3: stephanie what are your thoughts on that wild back and
Speaker 3: forth first forty?
Speaker 4: Five, yeah it, WAS i, MEAN i think we said,
Speaker 4: it you know, before have and we'll say it. Again
Speaker 4: the score line really represents what's happening out. There it's
Speaker 4: back and. Forth like you, said The spirit are very transition.
Speaker 4: Oriented we talk talked about this the last time we played.
Speaker 4: Them they like to get out of their back and
Speaker 4: fly at you with. Numbers they do that With, cantore With,
Speaker 4: rodman With, couassi and we're seeing that they look dangerous
Speaker 4: whenever there and The rains defensive half and then on
Speaker 4: the flip, side The rain have been fairly composed on the,
Speaker 4: ball have created a few chances nowhere near look as
Speaker 4: dangerous you, know on the attack at times as The,
Speaker 4: spirit but actually generally have MORE i would, say you,
Speaker 4: know composure throughout throughout the. Game and so there's kind
Speaker 4: of an interesting back and forth right now and clashing
Speaker 4: styles of. Play but that being, SAID i do think
Speaker 4: we got to give a little credit To Laura. Harvey
Speaker 4: she wanted The spirit to get drawn out and to get,
Speaker 4: uncomfortable AND i do think the, goal you, know we
Speaker 4: felt like it came out of, nowhere But Madison curry
Speaker 4: and they d you, know they kind of dragged those
Speaker 4: players out of their. Shape The spirit stepped out and
Speaker 4: then she was able to just pop a ball over
Speaker 4: that back line that was a little too.
Speaker 3: High and you look at last week she gets the
Speaker 3: assist on The Mattie dahalen goal and then this Week
Speaker 3: i'm Gonna i'm gonna give her the assist there on
Speaker 3: that on that own goal as. Well i'm not sure
Speaker 3: if that's an actual stat But i'd like to create.
Speaker 3: It assist on the own goal there From Madison curry
Speaker 3: as she creates it. Again and a good job they're
Speaker 3: pressuring From Maddie mercado was well between those two. Defenders
Speaker 3: that goal doesn't happen without Both. Maddie so again It's.
Speaker 2: Maddy To maddy.
Speaker 3: Magic It's Maddy Maddie, Magic Madison curry To Maddie mercado
Speaker 3: and the own goal By. Washington it's a one to one.

Speaker 1: An exclusive presentation Of Seattle rainsucker On Sports radio nine
Speaker 1: point FIFTY.
Speaker 3: Kju welcome back to the halftime, Show Seattle rain And
Speaker 3: Washington's spirit in a one to one game right. Now
Speaker 3: eighteenth minute free kick for The spirit By Lacy, santos
Speaker 3: forty fourth minute own goal by the left back for The,
Speaker 3: spirit and that game right now is at one point.
Speaker 3: One and here on the halftime, show let's just bring
Speaker 3: the conversation we were just having off the air onto the.
Speaker 3: Air and that's the big, Question, stephanie about the styles
Speaker 3: of these teams and the way that they wanted to.
Speaker 3: Play the first eighteen minutes was All seattle until that
Speaker 3: free kick. Goal i'm wondering stylistically how the second half
Speaker 3: opens up in a one to one.
Speaker 4: Game, yeah we were just talking about it in terms
Speaker 4: of the aggressiveness that we're, seeing not only physically and
Speaker 4: kind of obviously from The, spirit but also in terms
Speaker 4: of how they. Play they fly numbers, forward they like
Speaker 4: to really go at, you very, vertical very direct style
Speaker 4: of play at, times and so you're going to see
Speaker 4: some tired legs that's just the nature of that type of.
Speaker 4: Play you have players Like rod men In kuwassie who
Speaker 4: just again just kind of go at, you and they
Speaker 4: played two games last. Week so HOW i see some
Speaker 4: of this Transpiring as a Hopeful rain, FAN i will
Speaker 4: say is THAT i do sense that The Washington spirit
Speaker 4: will need to make changes or their style of play
Speaker 4: will will kind of drop off in a sense in
Speaker 4: terms of being a little weaker in comparison To seattle's,
Speaker 4: composure which we just talked about in a team that
Speaker 4: feels very comfortable together at this. Time that being, said
Speaker 4: The rain also have a deep, Bench SO i, think you,
Speaker 4: know if we're going to see how The rain hope
Speaker 4: to play in this second, half it would be adding
Speaker 4: some fire to that front. Line they got that, goal
Speaker 4: BUT i, think as you said To, jackson, rightly it
Speaker 4: felt like it came out of.
Speaker 5: Nowhere they don't want that to be the case in
Speaker 5: the second.
Speaker 4: Half they want to be able to, say, well of
Speaker 4: course we, scored we created the best, chances we had
Speaker 4: the most. Momentum we haven't been able to say that.
Speaker 4: Yet so you bring in A, damis you bring In Cocoa,
Speaker 4: mandasire you bring in players that are just going to
Speaker 4: light that. Fire me official, HOPEFULLY i would expect we
Speaker 4: see some subs to make sure that composure has the necessary.
Speaker 3: Energy well for head, coach that's Law, harvey who by the,
Speaker 3: way Coached arsenal from twenty ten to twenty.
Speaker 2: Twelve she played With arsenal.
Speaker 3: Two this has not been the best day for her
Speaker 3: after The Champions league final earlier today that ended with
Speaker 3: A psg win in penalty kicks Over. Arsenal so For Laura,
Speaker 3: harvey she is hoping that this day turns around and

Speaker 1: On Sports radio nine FIFTY kJ.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to rain on the, Radio seattle RAIN fc
Speaker 3: today facing off against The Washington spirit on the road
Speaker 3: At Audi field In, washington D.
Speaker 2: C it's a one to one.
Speaker 3: Game it was a first half free kick From Lacy
Speaker 3: santos Of washington and then a forty fourth minute ole
Speaker 3: by The italian left Back lucie The Di gigelmo For.
Speaker 3: Washington and as we see the start of the second, Half,
Speaker 3: stephanie we see two instant changes here at the half
Speaker 3: From Laura.
Speaker 5: Harvey, yeah two really good.
Speaker 4: Changes we Think Cocoa manda's, here who we mentioned multiple
Speaker 4: times in this first. Half we expected her to come
Speaker 4: on For Holly. Ward ward didn't have as much production
Speaker 4: as we expected her to on that right. Side she
Speaker 4: didn't get too many crosses. Off you, know she is
Speaker 4: a hard. Worker she did well with where to. Times
Speaker 4: But mondessyr is going to add that extra, energy that
Speaker 4: kind of driving ability with the.
Speaker 5: Ball she's really.
Speaker 4: Dangerous she'll drag some players over to her and actually
Speaker 4: Give mercado and others some. Space and then the other
Speaker 4: switch is Sam, mezza who has been out with a
Speaker 4: little bit of an injury and she one is just
Speaker 4: a fantastic player to have on the. Field but we
Speaker 4: were talking about her defensive capabilities and her ability to
Speaker 4: rotate in that midfield allows the players above her to
Speaker 4: have more, freedom and that is what The rain needs
Speaker 4: to win this.
Speaker 2: Game so we see the two changes.
Speaker 3: There it's a right wing straight swap mandas here For
Speaker 3: ward and then it's also a holding midfield Swap mesa
Speaker 3: For ainsley. Mccannon that is the other change as, well
Speaker 3: and we were kind of wondering If mesa was going
Speaker 3: to come into this, game where would she come. In
Speaker 3: would she come in for a sallymenting the attacking, midfield
Speaker 3: would she come in for a deeper midfield to potentially.
Speaker 2: Give you more of the.
Speaker 3: Attack it is the deeper for more of the. Attack
Speaker 3: and the only question now for The rain is will
Speaker 3: these changes By Laura harvey work to get you a
Speaker 3: win today In? Washington as we have kicked off here
Speaker 3: and The rain will have it in their own end with,
Speaker 3: McCammon With huerta sending it all the way back To
Speaker 3: Claudia dickey in goal For. Seattle seattle right now four
Speaker 3: four and, two eighth place in AN nwsl with fourteen
Speaker 3: points entering the. Week Washington spirit a bit above them right.
Speaker 3: Now they are in fourth place with a five to
Speaker 3: two and three. Record Monda syra is such a fast
Speaker 3: player and that wing play From montessere And huerta has
Speaker 3: worked so much this year, year those two working with
Speaker 3: speed And mondassere leading the team right now in goal
Speaker 3: contributions with. Three i'm trying to make some magic happen
Speaker 3: off of that right.
Speaker 2: Wing But washington has the ball at their.
Speaker 3: Feet With santos on that left side working Against montessere
Speaker 3: And montasseir will earn a throw in For seattle there
Speaker 3: on the far. Side the right throwing comes quickly To
Speaker 3: Mezzo mezzi working between two, defenders gives it.
Speaker 2: Away no foul call. There washington working on a three on.
Speaker 3: Three they have to hold up quick defending there By
Speaker 3: seattle and they will make The spirit. Reset Here's santos
Speaker 3: working now into the box trying to clear. Away there
Speaker 3: Is jordan bug getting the way of that ball up
Speaker 3: To cantore and clearing that one. Back now With seattle
Speaker 3: in the quick start to this second, half here it's
Speaker 3: back and, forth both teams wanting to quickly transition on the.
Speaker 4: Other, YEAH i can almost TELL i feel the energy
Speaker 4: of both coaches even you, know just from here they
Speaker 4: BOTH i think there's there's a really big push right
Speaker 4: now to be the team that sets that sets the
Speaker 4: tone and to get that first.
Speaker 5: GOAL i, mean when you're, tied you want the next.
Speaker 4: Goal but it does feel like both coaches want to
Speaker 4: look at the other one and see who's going to blink,
Speaker 4: first who's going to actually try and pull players back.
Speaker 4: First it's, no they're actually both going on on the
Speaker 4: front and trying to push their numbers high with the high.
Speaker 3: Press we talked about how those you, know the blending
Speaker 3: of the styles will work together at the start of this.
Speaker 2: Half will Be seattle.
Speaker 3: Working to be on the front foot like they were
Speaker 3: for the first t eighteen, minutes or will Be washington
Speaker 3: trying to work like it was for the next twenty
Speaker 3: minutes after that opening. Goal and it is right now
Speaker 3: stylistically kind of just it's two trains going right at each, other.
Speaker 5: And, yeah it really, is it really.
Speaker 3: Is it's back and forth right now As washington has
Speaker 3: a throw and on this near side the, Right washington
Speaker 3: working left to, Right Seattle.
Speaker 2: Rain right to left Here rain and their.
Speaker 3: Blue surge, kits blue, tops blue, shorts As mercado taking
Speaker 3: a ball away here towards that back, line working on
Speaker 3: say for the spirit and say we'll win that one
Speaker 3: back right up Against, mercado good one v one bat
Speaker 3: there towards that end. Line And washing's now trying to
Speaker 3: work quickly here on this right side With santos putting
Speaker 3: the ball, forward trying to get that ball up To.
Speaker 3: Kuwassi kawassi has it now working into the box For
Speaker 3: washington players across To Madison curry getting the way of that.
Speaker 3: One and a great job By Madison curry to take
Speaker 3: that back and earned possession back for The Seattle.
Speaker 2: Rain another outstanding play For Madison.
Speaker 4: Curry, yeah especially you, Know, kawassi to be really, honest
Speaker 4: is beating her with.
Speaker 5: SPEED i mean she's getting around.
Speaker 4: Her and then the best part About Madison, curry she
Speaker 4: doesn't give, up so she kind of continues with the
Speaker 4: play and she's able to get her body around and
Speaker 4: create a great tackle.
Speaker 2: There There's menty.
Speaker 3: To doll lean on this right left, wing chance to
Speaker 3: cross it Into mercado goes towards the back. Post mandasir,
Speaker 3: there ball pops. Up Here's simanes To mercado needs some
Speaker 3: hold up, play pops back out To. Huerta huerta working
Speaker 3: against one defender right on the edge of the box To.
Speaker 3: Mercado shot blocked immediately out To. Kuwassie she's trying to
Speaker 3: advance it. Forward but a great tackle there in the
Speaker 3: middle of the. Park and that is just what you
Speaker 3: needed on that transition. Moment the person who just came
Speaker 3: into this, game sam mesa immediate impact on that big
Speaker 3: moment of.
Speaker 4: Transition, yeah and that's exactly why you want her in the.
Speaker 4: Game right, THERE i, mean it's a one v one
Speaker 4: at the half. Line If kawassi comes away with, that
Speaker 4: it's Basically Kawassi rodman and mclernan And. Bug it's almost
Speaker 4: a two v two situation headed towards. Goal and as we,
Speaker 4: said those those two players are very. Dangerous so Sam
Speaker 4: mezza when she comes in and can break up play
Speaker 4: like that, again they can trust that she's back.
Speaker 5: There it allows where to to get higher, Up it Allows.
Speaker 4: Curry to get higher, up and we're seeing we're seeing
Speaker 4: some some good pushing numbers from The rain right. Here
Speaker 4: they had you, know eight or nine around the box
Speaker 4: on that last. Attempt so again it's both coaches being
Speaker 4: full steam ahead very.
Speaker 3: Much so we'll keep we'll keep the train metaphors going
Speaker 3: the whole way through because that is exactly what it
Speaker 3: feels right. Now, stylistically they are both pushing to take
Speaker 3: control of this second. Half we're five minutes. In it's
Speaker 3: a one to one game Between Seattle rain And Washington's
Speaker 3: spirit here At Audi field In, washington D. C here's
Speaker 3: The rain working up this left side With Jordan bug
Speaker 3: and now working With, mezza who's come. Back Jordan bug
Speaker 3: who got her first start of the year last week
Speaker 3: Against boston and what was a two to One rain.
Speaker 3: Win her second start here today is she came back
Speaker 3: from two separate. Injuries now she sends a ball long
Speaker 3: forward recovered From, mercado Has dollen.
Speaker 2: Working trying to work quickly through the.
Speaker 3: Middle but it's taken back from The spirit as they
Speaker 3: will take command here and try to work quickly off
Speaker 3: this right, Side Madison curry riding up Against kawassie, Again cursey,
Speaker 3: Wins curry wins that battle. Again madis And curry having
Speaker 3: a dominant first fifteen minutes FIFTY i should say minutes
Speaker 3: here At Audi, field.
Speaker 5: And again she's doing a great.
Speaker 4: JOB i mean one of the things when you're, watching you,
Speaker 4: know full, backs outside, backs whatever you want to call.
Speaker 4: Them they are the players that now in the modern,
Speaker 4: game are expected to get up Like whereta does and
Speaker 4: be contributing the attack like we've Seen curry do as.
Speaker 4: Well and then on the flip, side they are expected
Speaker 4: to get back and track those players Like kuwassi all
Speaker 4: the way to.
Speaker 5: The other end, line Whereas kwassi's just kind of hanging
Speaker 5: out up. There, yeah it's.
Speaker 4: It's almost, unfair but those players you rely on so
Speaker 4: much for their, fitness their, physicality their ability to read the.
Speaker 3: Game more good defending By Jordan bug gets the ball
Speaker 3: back to her Goalkeeper Claudia dickey in, goal and the
Speaker 3: rain will build out of the back here in the
Speaker 3: fifty second. Minute Jordan bug's addition inclusion to this team
Speaker 3: coming off those multiple leg. Injuries Madison creed talked about
Speaker 3: that earlier this, week she said That jordan unlocks something
Speaker 3: different in the team with her range of. Passing she
Speaker 3: said they can do more When jordan bug is on the.
Speaker 3: Field and just in the last two, minutes you've seen
Speaker 3: That Claudia dickie ball at her foot again after a
Speaker 3: slightly airing. Pass she had to recover that one towards
Speaker 3: the end. Line but the rain will be able to
Speaker 3: build here out of the back on this right side
Speaker 3: here With wherta going to the middle of the, park
Speaker 3: With mercado who's dropped, back And James turner back to
Speaker 3: McClure and who tries to switch sides here all the
Speaker 3: way to the left For Maddy donlleen who cannot get,
Speaker 3: there and it will be a throw in coming for
Speaker 3: The spirit here in the fifty third.
Speaker 4: Minute and you know what we're already seeing is What
Speaker 4: Laura harvey said she wanted to, see which was being
Speaker 4: less predictable in the build. Out and so you See
Speaker 4: Coco mondesire coming actually inside in the field and dropping,
Speaker 4: Down Maddie mercado switching out with Her doleine getting. Wide
Speaker 4: when players rotate like that, consistently it's creates that unpredictability
Speaker 4: That harvey is looking, for AND i can't say they
Speaker 4: found that very much in the first. Half but even
Speaker 4: with these subs that we're seeing With mesa And Coco mondes,
Speaker 4: here and we're seeing that change almost.
Speaker 5: Immediately here's a.
Speaker 3: Near giveaway and good play By Jordan bugg to recover
Speaker 3: and get that one to mcclernin After kuwassie tried to
Speaker 3: slip in. There in a moment of, Transition kuwassie is
Speaker 3: down long ball forward is cut out By, gelmo but
Speaker 3: only two mcclernin, again as looks Like kawassi is still.
Speaker 3: Down montasy here trying to slip the ball Into, mercado
Speaker 3: but that is cut out well By.
Speaker 2: Washington they will clear it all the way.
Speaker 3: Back now we're kind of seeing in the last two
Speaker 3: three minutes that this battle of tempo is going to
Speaker 3: the side Of seattle as they are getting a bit
Speaker 3: more forward here on the front foot only for a few.
Speaker 2: Minutes we know that this tempo and this game.
Speaker 3: Flow can change very very quickly with the speed of
Speaker 3: The washington.
Speaker 4: Spirit, yeah and we said it at the beginning of the,
Speaker 4: game but it feels even more true now we said
Speaker 4: sixty minutes on is really going to be you know
Speaker 4: what determines this, game which sounds like an obvious thing
Speaker 4: when you're talking about just the end of the, game
Speaker 4: the end of the, game but it is true today
Speaker 4: partially because of what we.
Speaker 5: Said well both the.
Speaker 4: Arsenal that both coaches have to change the game with
Speaker 4: personnel specifically and who to put in and how to you,
Speaker 4: know address what the other coach is. Doing, again you,
Speaker 4: know they already Put Cocoa manda The rain already Put
Speaker 4: cocoa mandas here And mesa. In but on the same,
Speaker 4: Side Washington spirit has some dangerous subs with gutierres others
Speaker 4: that we've talked.
Speaker 2: About, yeah.
Speaker 3: Exactly Claudia martinez is they're one of the outstanding wingers
Speaker 3: who scored in the eighty thirth, minute eighty third minute
Speaker 3: Against Seattle reign in that game three weeks ago In
Speaker 3: seattle Where Washington spirit came up. Here they were, outplayed
Speaker 3: but they got a goal against the run of play
Speaker 3: in the eighty third minute by their speedy Winger, martinez
Speaker 3: and that gave them a one nothing. Win and then
Speaker 3: as a talented player that they can bring off their,
Speaker 3: bench think About Claudia. MARTINEZ i have this stat. Here
Speaker 3: she made Her paraguayan national team debut a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago at sixteen years. Old she's now had seven
Speaker 3: games with The paraguayan national team and she scored six
Speaker 3: goals in those seven games For. Paraguay and she is
Speaker 3: an international who can do, many many good things for
Speaker 3: This washington team off the. Bench so when you say
Speaker 3: this is a game that'll go down the last thirty, minutes,
Speaker 3: well it's one to one here in the fifty fifth, minute.
Speaker 2: Thirty five to.
Speaker 3: Go that is exactly what we are looking at as
Speaker 3: the ball is it the foot Of aavan. Mclernan no real,
Speaker 3: pressure no real press From. Washington here is a chance
Speaker 3: to breathe For. Seattle and the tempo of this game
Speaker 3: has slowed here in the last few.
Speaker 5: Moments and again it kind of feels like both.
Speaker 3: Big collision middle of the. Field one big collision middle
Speaker 3: of the. Field kuwassi going right up Against. Salimenti both
Speaker 3: players are. Up that did not look good in the.
Speaker 3: Moment both players shoulder to, shoulder maybe head to, head big.
Speaker 3: Collision sorry to cut you off, there.
Speaker 4: Go, ahead Stew we were, SAYING i mean just as
Speaker 4: you were, saying the tempo seems to have dropped, off
Speaker 4: BUT i you, know definitely not the physical. PLAY i,
Speaker 4: mean both teams really are still going into those fifty
Speaker 4: to fifties with a lot of.
Speaker 5: Grit but, yeah it just seems like the tempo's dropped
Speaker 5: off a little.
Speaker 4: Bit, again both coaches seen who's going to blink, first
Speaker 4: and neither stepping Out they have a, press but neither
Speaker 4: stepping out too, high so the keepers aren't getting pressed right.
Speaker 4: Now they're both kind of having a lower line of,
Speaker 4: confrontation so they kind of drop off their. Lines and
Speaker 4: then that's interesting for both. Sides it seems like it's
Speaker 4: a a little bit of kind of you, know rest
Speaker 4: the legs charge when you can be on the same page,
Speaker 4: together but both sides are doing.
Speaker 3: It kind of is it feels very very cagey and
Speaker 3: right now in the fifty seventh, minute and now some
Speaker 3: press here coming From Mattie, doleen she is pressing high
Speaker 3: here trying to create a. Turnover but other than That
Speaker 3: maddy press right, there it has fell a bit, cagey
Speaker 3: sort of the exact thing that you, said who's gonna blink?
Speaker 3: First nobody wants to be that team that gives up
Speaker 3: the big moment of transition that turns into a two
Speaker 3: to one. Deficit balls at the foot Of Jordan bug
Speaker 3: using As James turner now Using curry on this left,
Speaker 3: side going, up It's. Kuwassi quassie wins that one throwing
Speaker 3: coming For seattle on this near side.
Speaker 2: The left.
Speaker 5: And again the back line For.
Speaker 4: SEATTLE i will say they look very again composed and,
Speaker 4: confident and that is what you want to see in
Speaker 4: a game like this against such a strong attacking.
Speaker 2: Front here Is menty moving into the.
Speaker 3: BOX a chance to cross it over To monasor, quickly
Speaker 3: but stays with the rain On maddie Do leen stays
Speaker 3: with the. Rain potential foul in the, box no, Call,
Speaker 3: curry chance to cross it in towards the, middle clear
Speaker 3: it away.
Speaker 2: Again we have believe.
Speaker 3: That's menty down in the middle of the bus and
Speaker 3: there is no foul. Given we'll see IF vr looks
Speaker 3: at that. One But kuwassie now going right up Against
Speaker 3: Jordan Bug bug wins that. Battle ball bounces around to the,
Speaker 3: middle bounces around now to the far. Post Here's Trinity.
Speaker 3: Rodman she has space working Against Wuertza rodman a one on.
Speaker 3: One Here's kokomandas here to, help And rodman will have
Speaker 3: to play it.
Speaker 4: Negatively that's a great slowdown from The rains defense there
Speaker 4: because they were charging two.
Speaker 3: Goal great moment of transition there for The rain defense
Speaker 3: after they worked Into washington's. Goal potential foul in the.
Speaker 3: Box i'm sure a var Official Danielle cheski will look
Speaker 3: at that one in a. Moment but a foul now
Speaker 3: in the middle of the. Park there's a collision there
Speaker 3: Between kuwassi And Sally menti Or Elizabeth, SAY i should,
Speaker 3: say And menti now getting a yellow card here in
Speaker 3: the fifty ninth minute for that collision With Elizabeth.
Speaker 5: Say AND i will Say menti has been involved in it.
Speaker 4: In quite a few of these just, scuffles and she
Speaker 4: did get a yellow card, there and THEN i forgot
Speaker 4: Earlier Holly woard got a yellow CARD i believe. Too
Speaker 4: so actually now we're at three yellow cards in the,
Speaker 4: game which again kind of tracks the physicality that we
Speaker 4: are seeing from both. Sides and there's a little, bit
Speaker 4: like we, said maybe of desperation almost this last game
Speaker 4: before this. BREAK i, mean they're not saving themselves for next.
Speaker 4: Week let's just say, so it does feel like everything's
Speaker 4: kind of all out on the.
Speaker 3: Field, Well stephanie's we now see the referee is holding a.
Speaker 3: PLAY i talked about that collision in the box that
Speaker 3: could have led to a var look and could have
Speaker 3: led to a penalty For, seattle and it is THE
Speaker 3: vr Official Danielle chessky looking at that one talking to the,
Speaker 3: Referee alexander Billet, ter talking to see about if that
Speaker 3: is a penalty For seattle a moment. Ago we'll see
Speaker 3: if we can get another look at that play just
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes. Ago but that is clearly the
Speaker 3: whole up that is happening to see if a penalty
Speaker 3: kick could come For Seattle Rain, nope play, on no penalty.
Speaker 3: Given probably the right call probably would have been a
Speaker 3: little bit light to wore a penalty off of, that
Speaker 3: but nonetheless a moment to remember from this game that
Speaker 3: could have. Been Here's kowassie crossing it in cut. Out well,
Speaker 3: There Jordan bug clearing that one away up To Maddie
Speaker 3: doleen not too far though The spirit will hit it
Speaker 3: back into their own. End ball is bouncing back and
Speaker 3: forth right now In seattle's. End four headers in a,
Speaker 3: Row five headers in a row comes down Two Lacy
Speaker 3: santos For washington working into the final. Third cowassie now
Speaker 3: on the right chance to cross it in working against
Speaker 3: bug crossing it, middle and there's Sam mezza to get
Speaker 3: it right there at the top of the box and
Speaker 3: get in the way of that, one and we'll dish
Speaker 3: it out To Maddie dolleen who will clear that one
Speaker 3: all the way back Into washington's. End another big moment,
Speaker 3: there and Here's Maddy mercatta with some pressure trying to
Speaker 3: get in the way of that.
Speaker 2: One washington dealing well with that.
Speaker 3: Pressure but one of those moments as a long pass
Speaker 3: is cut out well there again By James. Turner when
Speaker 3: this is a back and forth game right now with
Speaker 3: chances coming at both, Ends.
Speaker 5: Yeah it really.
Speaker 4: Is and it feels like there's these big moments where
Speaker 4: all they're trying to do both sides is slow the
Speaker 4: other team. Down there's a lot of, momentum and so
Speaker 4: like we just saw With menti, there she cut out
Speaker 4: a pass that if The Washington spirit broke that, line
Speaker 4: they were kind.
Speaker 5: Of off to the. Races so it's it feels very high.
Speaker 3: Stakes and a poor pass there From Jordan bug where
Speaker 3: by mcclernan will go out for a corner just trying
Speaker 3: to find her Goalkeeper Claudia dicky in, goal and it
Speaker 3: rolls just wide A dicky for a cornerkick For Lacy.
Speaker 3: Santos and this is an important set piece now as
Speaker 3: we are into the final thirty minutes that we talked
Speaker 3: about that will decide this.
Speaker 2: Game one to one right now Between washington And.
Speaker 3: Seattle eighteenth minute free kick goal For santos of The
Speaker 3: spirit and then an own goal by the left back
Speaker 3: For washington in the forty fourth. Minute have this game
Speaker 3: knoted at One santos left hand. Raised it'll be an
Speaker 3: outswinging corner kick from the near side the right go
Speaker 3: to the middle of the, box headed, away stays With.
Speaker 3: Washington rod been crossing it in cleared away From mondas
Speaker 3: here not too far. Though it will stay with The
Speaker 3: spirit on this left. Side another chance to cross it in,
Speaker 3: honesty are working one on, One get some help, There monasseere.
Speaker 2: Mcclernan it's going to be rolling out for another corner.
Speaker 3: Kicks The spirit will have another corner here in the
Speaker 3: sixty second.
Speaker 2: Minute, yeah and.
Speaker 4: DEFENSIVELY i will say the rains sometimes on these we call,
Speaker 4: them you, know second, Ball so the the corner kick comes,
Speaker 4: out it's cleared once and then it's that second ball
Speaker 4: that comes back.
Speaker 5: In those are the moments where the rain have at
Speaker 5: times looked.
Speaker 4: Unorganized but we're also Seeing mesa and players that are
Speaker 4: coming IN i think pick up some of those good
Speaker 4: those good fifty to, fifties and so they want to
Speaker 4: continue that because, again like you, said this is not
Speaker 4: the time you want.
Speaker 5: To give up a.
Speaker 3: Goal santos will go in in swinging corner kick from
Speaker 3: the far side the. Left she has help, though will
Speaker 3: she go, short left hand, Raised she will go towards
Speaker 3: the near, post getting the Way that one is about
Speaker 3: three Different seattle players kicking it out for another throw.
Speaker 3: In santos will take this one very. Quickly, nope she
Speaker 3: will hand it. Off we'll see if they go. Along
Speaker 3: here Here's cantore from right next to the corner stick
Speaker 3: for this throw, in holding up play for just a.
Speaker 3: MOMENT i saw two players for The washington running down
Speaker 3: towards their bench a couple of minutes. AGO i was
Speaker 3: seeing if that was going to be the first changes
Speaker 3: for the, spirit but they do not come just. Yet
Speaker 3: the throw in comes And washington will control right, now
Speaker 3: right along halfway line of outy. Field Now washington working
Speaker 3: up this right. Side here Is Trinity, rodman who's been
Speaker 3: shut down again today working Against. Mondessier monasor takes that ball.
Speaker 3: Away now a chance to put this. In Here's. Mercado
Speaker 3: mercado has help in the middle of the, park crossing
Speaker 3: it To menty's just too far.
Speaker 2: Away here's Now mercado far.
Speaker 3: Post mercado picks it, up lays it off to where
Speaker 3: it's a chance to cross it, in going to the far,
Speaker 3: post and it's headed away By washington out of the
Speaker 3: back of their. Goal did it take a touch or
Speaker 3: is that out for a? Goalkick we're going to take
Speaker 3: a look. Again but a big chance For seattle in
Speaker 3: that moment of.
Speaker 5: Transition, yeah and some really good builds up.
Speaker 4: Play we were just talking about the ran of not
Speaker 4: had a goal in the run of play in so,
Speaker 4: LONG i think it was Since, march you, know own
Speaker 4: goal today in the run of, play but really off
Speaker 4: their own kind of, volition just in the run of.
Speaker 5: Play they haven't had.
Speaker 4: One and so that last one was a very good
Speaker 4: bill that shows the different types of skills and you
Speaker 4: know threats that they have up. TOP i almost want
Speaker 4: to See menty get that vinyl touch. THERE i actually
Speaker 4: think she could have gotten, there so you, know and,
Speaker 4: well we're.
Speaker 5: About to see a sub For menti.
Speaker 3: Here it's interesting Because Sally menti there had that chance
Speaker 3: right in the middle of the, box but it was
Speaker 3: just too far away and that was a chance For
Speaker 3: Seattle rain that did not. Go but now Me offischal
Speaker 3: has come in For Sally minty ahead of this corner
Speaker 3: kick here in the sixty fifth minute With Seattle rain
Speaker 3: with a chance right now to put it in the.
Speaker 3: Box and here Is Coco mandaser putting it in towards
Speaker 3: the near post and is cleared away very quickly By.
Speaker 3: Washington another head up physical collision there top of the.
Speaker 3: Box no foul Called washington this time will clear it
Speaker 3: back out and it looks like we will get the
Speaker 3: first couple changes also For washington here as that ball
Speaker 3: is cleared out of. Bounds it will be two players
Speaker 3: now in For washington As May morgan And Andy. Sullivan
Speaker 3: morgan's a player that head Coach Laura harvey talked about
Speaker 3: extensively in the first match up a center back who is,
Speaker 3: very very key To washington's.
Speaker 5: Buildout, yeah she's a great.
Speaker 4: Player she's really good on the, ball and like you,
Speaker 4: Said Laura harvey's picture out as kind of the person
Speaker 4: that triggers the attack for The. Spirit she's able to
Speaker 4: really avert pressure very, well takes the all up the
Speaker 4: field comfortable on her, foot and so you know we're
Speaker 4: going to SEE i think some shift in their strategy
Speaker 4: here with The. Spirit you, know they're still going to
Speaker 4: find they're really you, know talented players up, top but
Speaker 4: by Putting morgan in, there that gives them some additional
Speaker 4: kind of power and sending those more direct balls THAT
Speaker 4: i might. Expect and she's taken out say who did
Speaker 4: a good, job but as we already, mentioned was a sub.
Speaker 3: Exactly and you Have Andy sullivan coming in there as
Speaker 3: well For Rebecca. Bernal that's kind of a more offensive
Speaker 3: midfielder move for more of a Defensive Rebecca bernal as.
Speaker 3: Well so those are the couple changes coming in the
Speaker 3: sixty sixth minute For washington in a one to one
Speaker 3: game right, Now so the head coaches have made their
Speaker 3: kind of first. Moves we see the three changes there
Speaker 3: For seattle coming in the form Of mandas here and
Speaker 3: Sam mesa at half and NOW Me. Official Now i'm, Wondering,
Speaker 3: stephanie if you think That mercatta will kind of drop
Speaker 3: back to that number ten role and you'll SEE Me
Speaker 3: official at the top of the. Formation that's kind of
Speaker 3: What i'm wondering If Laura harvey wants to see, Here,
Speaker 3: yeah that.
Speaker 4: Is WHAT i would, expect because you, know she talked
Speaker 4: about how how GOOD me officials hold up players, specifically
Speaker 4: and so when a player is that good at playing
Speaker 4: with her back to the, goal you want her as
Speaker 4: that high. Point you want her up, there and Then
Speaker 4: mercado can kind of pick up what she drops beneath,
Speaker 4: her and So official she's you, know expecting that from
Speaker 4: ficial up. Top and Then mercado has done a great
Speaker 4: job kind of lingering in that. Space and LIKE i,
Speaker 4: SAID i, think you, know Me menti's had good moments,
Speaker 4: today BUT i think this combination With fishal And mercado
Speaker 4: is much more.
Speaker 3: Dangerous here Is washington now trying to work up this right,
Speaker 3: side working against a couple Of seattle, players and that
Speaker 3: will be out now for a throw in here on
Speaker 3: the far side the right For washington as they try
Speaker 3: to Attack. Seattle here we're twenty four minutes and stoppags
Speaker 3: left to go in this game here At Audi, field
Speaker 3: As seattle has played a little bit less of a
Speaker 3: dominating performance than three weeks. Ago but you'd certainly right
Speaker 3: now at anytime in soccer that you want to win
Speaker 3: at home and you want to draw on the. Road
Speaker 3: And seattle got they win At, boston and right now
Speaker 3: they are in a position to get a point on
Speaker 3: the road here with twenty three minutes to.
Speaker 4: Go, yeah and it would be huge For. SEATTLE i
Speaker 4: mean not only a, win but even to get a
Speaker 4: draw against a really good as we've, said you, know
Speaker 4: number Four Washington spirit. Team they're they're high up in the,
Speaker 4: standings and so to be able to compete with these
Speaker 4: teams that are clearly on kind of good runs of
Speaker 4: play is really. IMPORTANT i, again we're not seeing enough
Speaker 4: kind of consistent offensive. MOVEMENT i think in this second,
Speaker 4: HALF i Think Laurel harvey will, say you, know she
Speaker 4: wants more chances out of this team based on the
Speaker 4: last you, know ten to fifteen minutes in this run
Speaker 4: of play ball.
Speaker 3: At the foot Of sandy, McIvor the goalkeeper For, washington
Speaker 3: not as much press right, Now Maddie dolleen hanging out
Speaker 3: on that left. Wing she's been the big player Pressing
Speaker 3: sandy McIvor in her, moments but definitely want to take
Speaker 3: a few moments that she can to breathe before perhaps pressing,
Speaker 3: again because in the final few minutes of this, game
Speaker 3: that is where the pressing could get very very important
Speaker 3: to force a. Mistake and it was you got to
Speaker 3: think For washington that eighty third minute goal that they
Speaker 3: scored In seattle a few weeks. Ago so a goal
Speaker 3: could come very very late for either one of these,
Speaker 3: teams especially after a mistake has already been made towards
Speaker 3: an own goal For washington that scored For seattle earlier
Speaker 3: today ball the way back To Claudia dicky hearing. Goal
Speaker 3: Also washington not Pressing seattle too awfully hard here in
Speaker 3: the sixty ninth minute.
Speaker 5: And BUG i just have to call It Jordan.
Speaker 4: Bugg multiple times, recently she's made such good plays defensively
Speaker 4: to pick off, passes you, know whether it's From rodman
Speaker 4: To kuwassie or or trying to Find kawassie through To.
Speaker 4: Cantore she's doing a great job of kind of holding
Speaker 4: that space and then winning it back and keeping the,
Speaker 4: ball so not only you, know breaking up that, play
Speaker 4: but then keeping it for The.
Speaker 3: Rain dolleene's trying to cross a ball in from that left,
Speaker 3: wing but it will not clear their defensive midfield as
Speaker 3: It's hirshfelt in the ball away and she'll try to
Speaker 3: get it all the way up to. Field The rodman
Speaker 3: now on the right wing that's out for a throw
Speaker 3: in As Trinity rodbin trying to get involved. Here AND
Speaker 3: i THINK i mentioned a few minutes, ago we can
Speaker 3: kind of go back to. It, Stephanie Trindy, rodbin such
Speaker 3: an amazing, talent one of the top players in this,
Speaker 3: league maybe the top young player in this entire. League
Speaker 3: and for the second straight, game The rain have pretty
Speaker 3: much shut her down and limited her ability to get
Speaker 3: the ball moving forward and we have a meaningful.
Speaker 4: Impact, YEAH i think she's, had you, know maybe one
Speaker 4: or two really good moments or chances on the, ball
Speaker 4: and besides, that she's been searching for it and so,
Speaker 4: again you, Know Laura harvey focuses on. It she says
Speaker 4: their best offense comes from their. DEFENSE i mean it's, defense,
Speaker 4: defense defense as a focus For. Harvey and you, know
Speaker 4: maybe some would say that's why they had a hard
Speaker 4: time score and some goals in the past couple of.
Speaker 4: Games but what that does is really make it tough
Speaker 4: for teams Like Washington spirit who have very effectively scored you,
Speaker 4: know multi goal games almost almost all of. THEM i,
Speaker 4: mean they're they're hard to keep off the, ball and
Speaker 4: so when you're able to do, that it's such a
Speaker 4: boost of confidence as a.
Speaker 3: Team Here's seattle this throwing now coming right at the midway.
Speaker 3: Point you have me official up top With, maddie With,
Speaker 3: mondaser With mercado right under.
Speaker 2: Him that four.
Speaker 3: Players pushing For seattle to get a winner here in
Speaker 3: the final twenty minutes here In. Washington as they will
Speaker 3: play this game and then have the long breakaway for
Speaker 3: The World, cup there will be call ups all around
Speaker 3: the league to national. Teams Washington spirit have ten players
Speaker 3: called up to national. Teams For Seattle, rain they have
Speaker 3: three Has James turner To, Wales Claudia dickey with The United,
Speaker 3: states And Holly ward With, canada all getting call ups
Speaker 3: for their upcoming. Games during This World cup break and
Speaker 3: this would be a good result to have going into
Speaker 3: the break For. Seattle right, now here's The spirit now
Speaker 3: working up their left, side working on heavy pressure from
Speaker 3: on to see her and where to trying to win
Speaker 3: that ball, Back but it Is washington coming away with
Speaker 3: it on that left.
Speaker 2: Wing where to gin with mcclernan some good.
Speaker 3: Defending mclernan wins the ball back if he takes it
Speaker 3: back For seattle there right next to that corner. Flag
Speaker 3: she will try to clear it, away but it will
Speaker 3: be headed down By washington and out for A washington throw,
Speaker 3: in to the dismay Of James, turner who stretches out her,
Speaker 3: hands asking what are you? Doing that is clearly A seattle.
Speaker 3: Throwing it's all good as a quick kick gets the
Speaker 3: ball To. Seattle they try to go quickly to me
Speaker 3: official up, top but it's out too far ahead Of
Speaker 3: mia And washington will take it. Back here in the
Speaker 3: seventy third, minute one to one, Game Seattle Rain Washington
Speaker 3: SPIRIT nwsl Action Here rain on the Radio Sports radio
Speaker 3: nine to fifty. Am jackson Felt Stephanie verdoya here bringing
Speaker 3: you this last game for these clubs before The World.
Speaker 3: Cup right here's a. Giveaway Claudia dicky gives it away shot.
Speaker 2: Just over the.
Speaker 3: Crossbar major giveaway From Claudia. Dickey you had the ball
Speaker 3: at her, feet she tried to roll it out To Jordan,
Speaker 3: bug did not.
Speaker 2: Get out far.
Speaker 3: Enough hirschfeldt took that ball away quick shot went just
Speaker 3: above the, crossbar and that is going to absolutely frustrate
Speaker 3: head Coach Laura.
Speaker 4: Harvey, yeah, Absolutely and you know, WHAT i almost it's
Speaker 4: one of those things that you. Say the second you
Speaker 4: say that a keeper is great at their feet and
Speaker 4: loves being under, pressure you, know something like this, happens
Speaker 4: and it's true because it's hard being.
Speaker 5: Under pressure with the ball at your. Feet as a keeper.
Speaker 4: That low on the, ground you have to be so,
Speaker 4: sure so, certain and all of your passes have to
Speaker 4: have enough.
Speaker 5: Weight and she really really didn't give enough to that.
Speaker 5: One and that.
Speaker 4: Would have been devastating if they went to down or you,
Speaker 4: know down to one at this point in the game
Speaker 4: because of a giveaway like, that after all.
Speaker 5: Of the effort they've put in this.
Speaker 3: Game it sort of reminds you of those games earlier
Speaker 3: in the year Against, utah those giveaways that led to
Speaker 3: goals that led to. Losses Thankfully hirschfeldt could not make
Speaker 3: the rain pay on that, one but it will stay With.
Speaker 3: Washington cross coming in back post and it's nearly an own.
Speaker 3: GOAL a good chob by mcclernan sending that about a
Speaker 3: yard wide of that right. Post but a dangerous moment
Speaker 3: there is the cross came in towards the back And
Speaker 3: phoebe hopefully knew exactly where she was putting that.
Speaker 2: One but that was. Close look at, That, YEAH.
Speaker 4: I was, closed AND i will, say you know, again
Speaker 4: slam momentum. SHIFT i think you know The Washington spirit
Speaker 4: are really putting their foot on the. PEDAL i, mean
Speaker 4: we saw The Andy sullivan, change which is a more
Speaker 4: of an aggressive attacking switch in the. Midfield rodman switched
Speaker 4: actually to the right side now And quasi went to
Speaker 4: the left. Side so they're clearly trying to kind of
Speaker 4: again move those chess pieces to get the last word
Speaker 4: in this.
Speaker 2: Game here Is.
Speaker 3: Santos we'll be an out swinger here from the near
Speaker 3: side of the, right comes towards the middle of the,
Speaker 3: box headed, away stays With washington now With rodman on
Speaker 3: the left popping the ball up and it's tipped away
Speaker 3: nicely By Claudia. Dickey ball came popped up right in
Speaker 3: front of the ball and right in front of the,
Speaker 3: net And dicky went up and just poked that one
Speaker 3: right behind her goal for another corner. Kick and that
Speaker 3: was something That rodmans is laughing about right now that
Speaker 3: it had such a chance ride towards the. Net but
Speaker 3: here Is santos putting it towards the back. Post Claudia
Speaker 3: dicky's able to get out and grab that. One Now
Speaker 3: seattle can potentially work. Fast she'll roll it. Out Here's
Speaker 3: mercado setting the long ball. Forward she Has Maddie. Dollen
Speaker 3: dahalen has the speed she has Sam mez's middle of
Speaker 3: the park and some great defensive work there at the.
Speaker 3: Back they will be able to Tackle dollen from the.
Speaker 3: Back dalen's asking for a foul ball went out for
Speaker 3: a corner. Kick it'll be A seattle corner here in
Speaker 3: the seventy fifth. Minute what a moment of transition and
Speaker 3: what a moment of great defending there By.
Speaker 4: Washington, yeah truly fantastic soccer on both sides of the.
Speaker 4: Ball here the, rain break the pressure and get across
Speaker 4: the half line in truly two. PASSES i Mean dicky out.
Speaker 4: Quickly you, know they break the line and Find dollen
Speaker 4: making that diagonal run. Through and If dolian could just
Speaker 4: have had one more touch around that, Defender mazo was
Speaker 4: truly wide open by herself in the.
Speaker 3: Box you think that was a defender. There it Was Claudia,
Speaker 3: martinez the. Winger we missed that. CHANGE i didn't see.
Speaker 3: It But martinez has come on on the. Field here's
Speaker 3: the corner kick going far post, here headed on towards
Speaker 3: the far.
Speaker 2: Post now here's bug.
Speaker 3: With it getting to that assist, area but just out
Speaker 3: for a goal. Kick it's a dangerous corner kick that
Speaker 3: bounced around a couple. Times So Claudia martinez has come
Speaker 3: into this game For. Washington they didn't really show us
Speaker 3: who that change was, for but that was a big
Speaker 3: substitute and she coming all the way back from her
Speaker 3: attacking winger, position is the one who Tackled Mattie doleen
Speaker 3: to keep that and she had Sam mezza on the
Speaker 3: other side of the. Box If Maddi doleen had an
Speaker 3: inch more of space And Claudia martinez was not, there
Speaker 3: that would have been a rain.
Speaker 2: Goal you'd think outstanding defending from the.
Speaker 4: Winger, yeah, Absolutely and like you, SAID i mean to
Speaker 4: have a dab a winger come all the way back
Speaker 4: to make that play is you, know that's when you
Speaker 4: know you have a great player on your.
Speaker 9: Hands and we.
Speaker 3: See now the ball at the foot Of phoebe mclernan
Speaker 3: For Seattle. Rain we're into the seventy seventh minute here
Speaker 3: At Auty. Field it's a one to one game Between
Speaker 3: seattle And. Washington eighteenth minute goal From Lacy santos of The,
Speaker 3: spirit forty fourth minute own goal By washington's left, back
Speaker 3: and we're noted at one here in when it has
Speaker 3: been a battle of styles and a battle of philosophies
Speaker 3: by these head coaches here in this entire second half
Speaker 3: that has lasted here thirty, minutes scoreless so. Far but
Speaker 3: it does feel like something is. Coming Here's kawassie working
Speaker 3: right Against James. Turner foul called And rain will have
Speaker 3: a free kick from their own.
Speaker 2: End.
Speaker 4: Yeah, again the physicality, continues and you, KNOW i don't
Speaker 4: expect it to, stop and both, teams especially Keeping rodman And,
Speaker 4: cowassie AND i, mean it's just going to keep.
Speaker 3: Coming and there is another big physical tackle there yellow
Speaker 3: card coming Into we're Twelve Andy sullivan For. Washington they're
Speaker 3: another very very hard, tackle this time On Maddie. Mercado
Speaker 3: lots of big collisions And mercado is down holding her
Speaker 3: left ankle As Laura harvey looks, on wondering about her
Speaker 3: final chess, piece moves.
Speaker 2: To try to get rained the full three.
Speaker 6: POINTS i think that's.
Speaker 5: The fifths yellow card for this.
Speaker 4: Game so that, again that is tracking what we are
Speaker 4: seeing in terms of the, energy you, know at times the,
Speaker 4: chaos but definitely the effort that both teams are putting
Speaker 4: in to get a.
Speaker 3: Win here Here's bug to take the free. Kick she goes,
Speaker 3: short working to try to play very small out of
Speaker 3: the middle of the park on that free. Kick lots
Speaker 3: of pressure here From santos trying to Pressure seattle into a,
Speaker 3: giveaway but they're able to get it back to their
Speaker 3: Goalkeeper Claudia, dicky who sends it out to the right for.
Speaker 3: Mcclernan pressure coming here From Ken toore and now here
Speaker 3: Here's bug with a moment to potentially breathe by the
Speaker 3: way that change. Is In, cantorria the change Was Claudia
Speaker 3: martinez For Sofia cantorre and Now Claudia martinez playing as
Speaker 3: the loan.
Speaker 2: Forward we talked About.
Speaker 3: Martinez getting in the way Of Maddie doleen's potential game winning.
Speaker 3: Assist she came all the way back from her high
Speaker 3: central forward position to make that game saving stop on
Speaker 3: the defensive end in a moment that we may talk
Speaker 3: about your post. Game Is range trying to look to
Speaker 3: build through the. Middle here to find Me Official washington's
Speaker 3: able to take that one away now as they now
Speaker 3: try to work in from their own. End pressure coming
Speaker 3: all the way up the field From sophia where to
Speaker 3: and a great tackle there For I'm James, Turner I'm.
Speaker 3: Gagilimo now Here's mandasire monassere putting it into the box
Speaker 3: just ahead of. Me Official cogo monassere working quickly off
Speaker 3: that right. Wing could have been a game WINNING a
Speaker 3: cyst was just about a yard ahead of. Me official.
Speaker 3: There but what a tackle From James turner to start
Speaker 3: that moment of. Transition, yeah AND.
Speaker 4: I think this is Classic rain. Soccer, actually this is
Speaker 4: exactly What Laura harvey talks, about where the defense starts
Speaker 4: the attack and she loves those players in the midfield
Speaker 4: that breakup plays Like, mesa Like James turner did in that,
Speaker 4: moment and then it just sets them up for a
Speaker 4: quick transition into that final third and me official just
Speaker 4: inches away from being able to just take a touch
Speaker 4: and put it past the.
Speaker 3: Goalie Here's rodman For washington and working up this right.
Speaker 3: Side you hear the crowd. Cheer she has, space she
Speaker 3: has the ball finds middle of the. Park now Here's,
Speaker 3: Sullivan sullivan working towards the.
Speaker 2: Box she has.
Speaker 3: Space left footed shot takes a deflection back of the.
Speaker 3: NET a deflected shot From. Andy that's how Hirsch felt deflected.
Speaker 3: Shot Claudia dickey dove. Left she had it fully covered
Speaker 3: on that left, side but it hit a, foot hit a,
Speaker 3: leg the ball went the other way and it's into
Speaker 3: the back of the net for The. Spirit they have
Speaker 3: a two to one lead in the eighty first. Minute Andy,
Speaker 3: sullivan How hirschfeld excuse? Me will have that goal and
Speaker 3: we will see on this replay the massive deflection that
Speaker 3: Creates washington.
Speaker 2: Second it's off Of. Bug, yeah and.
Speaker 4: It's just, oh it's just it's devastating when it happens this.
Speaker 5: Way, yeah it's off Of.
Speaker 4: Bug it just comes off the back of her, calf
Speaker 4: And hirschfeld does well to drive centrally, there you, know
Speaker 4: headed towards. Goal But dicky clearly had good, positioning she
Speaker 4: was ready to grab, it and it went off of
Speaker 4: bugs calf as she's stepping out and completely eeridirects it.
Speaker 5: In a way That dicky can't grab.
Speaker 4: It and you, know, again just to speak to the
Speaker 4: momentums of this, game it just felt like The rain
Speaker 4: was were inches away in these past couple of minutes
Speaker 4: from putting something and one thing The spirit have been
Speaker 4: very good at all season is scoring, goals and one
Speaker 4: thing that The rain have struggled to. Do AND i you,
Speaker 4: know a lot was going to come down to these
Speaker 4: last you, know twenty thirty, minutes like we talked, about
Speaker 4: and unfortunately we're kind of seeing that that narrative stick
Speaker 4: for both.
Speaker 5: Teams with that. Goal it feels like a small moment.
Speaker 4: With big, consequences you, know, again a reminder that The
Speaker 4: spirit do well and continue to score multiple, goals and
Speaker 4: The rain had that own, goal But i've struggled to
Speaker 4: put something else on.
Speaker 2: FRAME a couple of changes there for The Washington.
Speaker 3: Spirit page manteor a right back comes in For Gabrielle.
Speaker 3: Karl it's a like for like fullback. Change also coming
Speaker 3: into the, Game Gift, monday a fast striker coming out
Speaker 3: of the field For Lacy, santos the goal. Scorer in
Speaker 3: the eighteenth minute For washington to get some more pace
Speaker 3: on the field to potentially transition Against seattle and get a.
Speaker 3: Winner we See Claudia martinez dropping back a line for
Speaker 3: The Washington spirit as they get more speed onto the.
Speaker 3: Field is you know That seattle is going to have
Speaker 3: to send numbers for. It it's now a two to
Speaker 3: one lead for The Washington. Spirit eighty first minute goal
Speaker 3: get credit To Hal hirschfeltz as it took a deflection
Speaker 3: off the calf Of.
Speaker 2: Jordan Bug.
Speaker 3: And just like three weeks, ago it could be a
Speaker 3: late goal deciding this. Game but eight minutes and stop
Speaker 3: a time left For seattle the rain to find a goal,
Speaker 3: forward to try to send numbers.
Speaker 2: Forward long ball here trying to Find.
Speaker 3: Mercado and now Here's mercado on the left.
Speaker 2: Side little bit of space to cross has.
Speaker 3: Doleen but a great defensive play there all the way
Speaker 3: back By Trinity, rodman the winger who put in the
Speaker 3: defensive work and it will send that one out for
Speaker 3: A rain corner kick here in the eighty fourth. Minute
Speaker 3: great defensive play there By Trinity, rodbin who doesn't usually
Speaker 3: do a lot of defensive, work but that was a
Speaker 3: big moment for the.
Speaker 4: Attacker, yeah good work and a good reminder that this
Speaker 4: game is still back and. Forth it has been the whole,
Speaker 4: time and you, know The rain have a chance right
Speaker 4: here to even it.
Speaker 3: Up mondese are both hands. Raised it'll be an in
Speaker 3: swinger going far post. There it's over the ahead of, everybody,
Speaker 3: though you go all the way to the other corner
Speaker 3: stick like that was, mcclernan towards that farstick. There she
Speaker 3: hits it out and it will be a goalkick here
Speaker 3: for The Washington spirit with seven minutes to go At Audi.
Speaker 4: Field, yeah and that's unfortunately not the service From mondas
Speaker 4: here probably that she wants to see her or that
Speaker 4: anyone else wants to. See at that, moment it really
Speaker 4: just kind of clears the whole group and lands in
Speaker 4: the very edge of the eighteen yard. Box and those
Speaker 4: are the moments again When Laura harvey's talking about the final,
Speaker 4: pieces whether it's me official needing those final, pieces of
Speaker 4: production to add some value to the score, line or
Speaker 4: players Like Cocoa.
Speaker 5: Mandas, here it's finding these moments.
Speaker 4: And these really really tight games against good teams to
Speaker 4: put something on the board.
Speaker 3: Exactly Here's Jordan bug trying to work out of the
Speaker 3: back here. Giveaway There's monday who had the ball for
Speaker 3: just a. Moment meza now working under a lot of,
Speaker 3: pressure working On. Kuwassie she clears it long just to
Speaker 3: get some space, here but it will go, out not.
Speaker 3: Yet washington's still with it right there on the. Edge
Speaker 3: they're keeping this ball, in they're keeping, possession they're keeping
Speaker 3: the ball off the foot of The Seattle Rain as

Speaker 3: wonder if those are the final chess moves coming from
Speaker 3: The rain head. Coach Here's rodman cutting in now putting
Speaker 3: the ball in For. Monday monday crossing it onto her left,
Speaker 3: foot shot skies into the. STANDS a chance there For

Speaker 3: was working On Sophia huerta but could not put that
Speaker 3: shot on. Frame and it's those moments right now that
Speaker 3: uned For Seattle rain to shore up defensively and they
Speaker 3: did just enough.
Speaker 4: There, yeah and, AGAIN i mean this is Why Washington,
Speaker 4: spirit you, know has the record they have and have
Speaker 4: had that. Success is the number of attacking threats is
Speaker 4: really tough to track as in, that like with such
Speaker 4: a good back line that The rain. HAVE i, mean,
Speaker 4: right we're going from you, Know kuwassie To monday To
Speaker 4: rodman To cantory to now you Know.
Speaker 5: MARTINEZ i, mean it's just it feels.
Speaker 2: Endless.
Speaker 3: Yeah a lot of talent there on This washington, team

Speaker 3: Week they lost five to. Three here's a giveaway right
Speaker 3: in the middle of a box and a great save
Speaker 3: By Claudia. Dicky dicky keeps that one on the back

Speaker 4: makes herself. BIG i, MEAN i can't remember what player that,
Speaker 4: was RIGHTTHER i missed, it but.
Speaker 2: She was just in the.
Speaker 4: Box in the box with no one around her and
Speaker 4: could have placed it around. Her But Claudia dicky does
Speaker 4: well to bat that. Away but, again no more defensive.
Speaker 4: GIVEAWAYS i mean we're seeing that now a couple times
Speaker 4: with the. Rain it's it looks like it's maybe mclarnand,
Speaker 4: no It's James turner who gives the ball away AND i.
Speaker 5: Think kuwassie, There, yep It's.
Speaker 4: Kowassie wasn't able to slip it Past dickie and great
Speaker 4: job there for her to get out and keep that
Speaker 4: out of the back of the.
Speaker 3: Net another change From Laura Harvey Emriya damas coming in
Speaker 3: For Maddie. Mercado another there's an attacking change For seattle
Speaker 3: is A, damas still looking for her first goal contribution
Speaker 3: of the year after a great year last. Year is
Speaker 3: that the final chess piece move From Laurrea harvey to
Speaker 3: try to find now an equalizer eighty seventh minute here
Speaker 3: At Audi, Field, Washington spirit Leading seattle two to.
Speaker 2: One an eighty first minute.
Speaker 3: Goal that took a wicked deflection off the calf Of
Speaker 3: Jordan bug went into the back of the net that
Speaker 3: has given The spirit this late. Lead now here they
Speaker 3: are working up on this right. Side Here's Trindy rodman
Speaker 3: working On Madison. Curry curry doing some good. Defending rodman
Speaker 3: still on, it has to retreat a little bit.
Speaker 2: Looking for some, help and she can't find. It she
Speaker 2: gives the ball.
Speaker 3: Away now the Rain wolf to, transition but they cannot do.
Speaker 3: It washington coming away with It monday towards the end,
Speaker 3: line and there is not a lot of pressure From.
Speaker 3: Seattle here Is washington players have. It they will simply
Speaker 3: give it, away But seattle cannot Contain seattle trying to transition.
Speaker 2: Quickly it's given up to the spirit here in the
Speaker 2: eighty eighth.
Speaker 4: Minute, yeah and again this is when The spirit actually
Speaker 4: look their most fluid right now in the entire. GAME i,
Speaker 4: mean the players the way they're, rotating And Andy sullivan's
Speaker 4: in there to kind of rotate. Up morgan's on the
Speaker 4: ball right. Now we see what tons of space and
Speaker 4: she's able to take that. Space rodman's come out to the.
Speaker 4: WIDTH i, mean they look very confident they.
Speaker 3: Do leading two to. One here's to the end. Line
Speaker 3: chance to cross it in For rodman middle of the
Speaker 3: box cut. Away nice play there to keep that one.
Speaker 3: Out believe That's James turner cutting that one. Back it's
Speaker 3: cleared away all the way to the mid, line But
Speaker 3: washington's still with. Her they are pushing for a. Third
Speaker 3: Now rodman gets up, slow not able to use her
Speaker 3: in the. Attack As washington now have the ball right
Speaker 3: the halfway. Line they are playing with it with no
Speaker 3: pressure now as they will try to Find. Rodman rodman was.
Speaker 3: Offside they're trying to Involve Trindy rodman into this attack
Speaker 3: and she just walking back to get. INVOLVED i don't
Speaker 3: Think Trindy rodmin's hurt or. Anything she has just decided
Speaker 3: to not be part of the. Attack is now here
Speaker 3: is the final chess piece From Laura. Harvey her final.
Speaker 3: Move Brittany, ratcliffe an attacking player coming on for the
Speaker 3: holding midfielder Has James turner and that is in a
Speaker 3: big attacking move From harvey to try to find an.
Speaker 5: Equalizer Yeah, ratcliffe you know she's a speedy.
Speaker 4: Attacker she wants to put extra pressure on that back
Speaker 4: line and takes Out James, turner who's done a great,
Speaker 4: job great defensive, work but she's looking for that goal.
Speaker 3: And long ball over the top here cannot be cleared
Speaker 3: too much it would go To maddie Doll lean's foot
Speaker 3: on this left wing has players running in to help
Speaker 3: curry into the box for official official. Turns here's mesa
Speaker 3: mesa crossing going to the far. Post here's where it's
Speaker 3: a middle a domin So domas trying to find where
Speaker 3: it's a now crossing towards the other. Post kind of

Speaker 3: nobody was.
Speaker 4: There, yeah And Emory damas, JUST i, mean a fantastic young.
Speaker 4: Player she's very, skilled she's very, crafty she's really good

Speaker 4: there maybe a little bit of, youth you. Know Laura
Speaker 4: harvey's said that it's this last final piece again with A.
Speaker 4: Damas and there they had, time they had numbers around the,
Speaker 4: box they could have sent a better, ball and and
Speaker 4: the said she kind of just sent, it like you,
Speaker 4: said a wishful shot from out.
Speaker 3: Wide there's Do leen brought down on that left wing
Speaker 3: as a foul. Called, yes it Is matta Do leen
Speaker 3: doing well with her speed to earn a foul about
Speaker 3: five yards outside of the penalty box on this left
Speaker 3: wing long ball forward and that's kind of just you
Speaker 3: send not even a, cross but you just send a
Speaker 3: ball over the top and Use Maddie dollen's. Speed and
Speaker 3: here we go with three minutes. Added we're already three
Speaker 3: seconds into the added three, minutes two and a half
Speaker 3: minutes left in this. Game washington leading two to, one

Speaker 3: minute about to turn into the ninety second where it's
Speaker 3: a raising her left hand cross coming, in going to

Speaker 4: backpost kind of over everyone's, heads even though they have
Speaker 4: the numbers in the box to put something on.
Speaker 5: Frame So seattle's still.

Speaker 3: Using doleene's.

Speaker 3: the seconds tick. Down we'll see if anything more gets
Speaker 3: added from our referee. Today now the kick comes forward
Speaker 3: all the way Long. Trinity rodman heads it up To, Monday,
Speaker 3: monday working against Two rain, players still finds a way
Speaker 3: to get out of. It ball pops Up rain throw
Speaker 3: in fifteen. Seconds can they send numbers? Forward can they
Speaker 3: get something? Going you gotta work. Fast throwing comes going along,
Speaker 3: here trying to find me official throw doesn't get long.
Speaker 3: Enough washington gets it Back. Monday working on a few,
Speaker 3: players she manages to get out of, it but give
Speaker 3: the ball away quickly cleared it all the way up the.
Speaker 3: Field washington clears it right back To. Rodman rodman working
Speaker 3: through a couple. Defenders Here's Martinez, martinez and it's a
Speaker 3: great job By. Ah but there is the final. Whistle,
Speaker 3: rain we're trying to take something away there at the last,
Speaker 3: second as The Washington spirit we're working towards the. Box
Speaker 3: you thought there might have been one more chance to
Speaker 3: get up the field from their deepen on their own
Speaker 3: end with the referee will blow the fire whistle and
Speaker 3: this one goes. Final it's a two to one loss
Speaker 3: for The Seattle. Rain The Washington spirit get the win at.
Speaker 5: Home, yeah and this is this is a tough one
Speaker 5: for The.
Speaker 4: RAIN i, mean it really, is like we, said it
Speaker 4: felt like there was a law on the line, here
Speaker 4: even though it's a team that they recently, played even
Speaker 4: though they're going into a big. Break but that's part
Speaker 4: of the reason why it's it's setting the, narrative you,
Speaker 4: know of what's happened in this first part of the,
Speaker 4: season and, unfortunately the narrative for Their rerain right now
Speaker 4: is that they are having a very difficult time. Scoring
Speaker 4: and even though that switched a little bit In boston
Speaker 4: and that felt, good and you saw their. Confidence their
Speaker 4: only goal today, again you, know an own, goal and
Speaker 4: they had some, chances but definitely not as many as The.
Speaker 4: Spirit and so this is a tough one to walk
Speaker 4: away from because at, MOMENTS i think the majority of
Speaker 4: this game.
Speaker 5: Was fifty to.
Speaker 4: Fifty it's still only a two to one score, line
Speaker 4: and The Washington spirit's easily one of the best teams
Speaker 4: in the. League The rain is still in the middle
Speaker 4: of the. Pack so you, know don't want to be too.
Speaker 4: Pessimistic there's still plenty of season left to. Play they
Speaker 4: are a good, squad they're finding their, feet but this,
Speaker 4: one this one.
Speaker 3: Hurts, yeah this one certainly. Does it's a two to
Speaker 3: one win For washington with the. Lost Seattle rain now
Speaker 3: at tenth place IN nwsl four five and two with fourteen.
Speaker 3: Points with the, Win washington maintains their fourth place. Spot
Speaker 3: thanks to some other results AROUND, nwsl they are at
Speaker 3: twenty one points now with a six two and three.
Speaker 3: RECORD a great season right now for The washington spirit
Speaker 3: continues and The rain still looking for goals and looking for.
Speaker 3: Wins we'll take a break, Here we'll get to the
Speaker 3: postgame show and break down what has been a two

Speaker 1: K the following is an exclusive presentation Of Seattle rainsucker
Speaker 1: On Sports radio nine fifty kJ.
Speaker 2: Uh it's a final outy field In, washington D.
Speaker 3: C The Washington spirit have Defeated Seattle rain by a
Speaker 3: score of two to. One it was a back and
Speaker 3: forth game with a lot of conflicting philosophies and styles
Speaker 3: back and. Forth in the eighteenth, Minute Lacy santos gets
Speaker 3: a free kick goal from distance that goes over the
Speaker 3: head of Has James turner goes into that far side
Speaker 3: of the right of the goal that Give washington a
Speaker 3: one to nothing.
Speaker 2: Lead, then in the.
Speaker 3: Forty fourth, minute after a lot of back and forth transition,
Speaker 3: play it's an own goal for the left back For,
Speaker 3: Washington lucilia Di. Gauelmo she puts it into the back
Speaker 3: of her own net in a wild play that made
Speaker 3: the game one to. One the second half was very
Speaker 3: much two freight trains going right out of each other.
Speaker 3: Stylistically but in the eighty eighty first, minute Hal hirschfeldt
Speaker 3: dribbles towards. Goal she puts a shot on. Goal it
Speaker 3: looked like it was going to be covered By Claudia
Speaker 3: dicky diving to her, left but it took a deflection
Speaker 3: off the calf of center Back Jordan bug went into
Speaker 3: the back of the net and that Gave washington their second,
Speaker 3: goal where they ended up winning two to one today
Speaker 3: over the. Rain we welcome you into the postgame, Show Jackson,
Speaker 3: Feltz Stephanie verdoye here On Sports radio Nine, am And,
Speaker 3: stephanie that is a hard one to, swallow the winning
Speaker 3: goal coming off of one of your own calfs on the.
Speaker 4: Deflection, yeah deflection goals are just, brutal, right because everyone's
Speaker 4: kind of looking around being, like what are you supposed
Speaker 4: to do about? THAT i, mean like you, Said dicky
Speaker 4: had it. Covered the defenders were in good, positioning there
Speaker 4: was good pressure on the. Ball it didn't seem like
Speaker 4: it was a shot that was going to go. In
Speaker 4: and it's almost like because of the defensive pressure on the,
Speaker 4: ball right you're almost. Punished and and you, know we
Speaker 4: said it off, Air we'll say it again on. Air
Speaker 4: this this one hurts mostly because The. Rain we're right
Speaker 4: there with a very Good spirit team and we would
Speaker 4: put you, know these eleven up against anyone in the
Speaker 4: league and feel like The rain are moving in a
Speaker 4: good position and in a good. Way they have a
Speaker 4: rhythm to their movement right, now they've scored some goals.
Speaker 4: Recently they have enough there to compete with. Anyone and
Speaker 4: the problem is is they Are it just feels like
Speaker 4: they're just inches every, time every good, game every good,
Speaker 4: team they're just inches.
Speaker 3: Away if that doesn't Hit jordan bugs. Calf this is
Speaker 3: a one to one final and it's at the home
Speaker 3: Of Washington, spirit a team who just played in THE
Speaker 3: Concacaf Champions League final Against Club, america which was a
Speaker 3: five to three, final and they went toe to toe
Speaker 3: with them all the way and is a deflection goal
Speaker 3: that ends up making this. ONE i think the other thing,
Speaker 3: too Is stephanie that we talked about since we started these.
Speaker 3: Broadcasts in That utah game a month, ago was the.
Speaker 3: Offense and in That utah, game we have the major
Speaker 3: injury To Jefs, fishlock and now we see these last two,
Speaker 3: Games Sally mente starting at the ten in. Place but
Speaker 3: The RAIN i think are really Missing Jes fishlock when
Speaker 3: it comes to scoring more.
Speaker 4: Goals they, ARE i, mean besides the fact That fishlock
Speaker 4: is one of you, know the most the rarest of, players,
Speaker 4: Right she's so, competitive she's so you just feel her
Speaker 4: energy even all the way up in the press. BOX i,
Speaker 4: mean everyone knows what kind of player she is and
Speaker 4: how she can change the, game and on top of
Speaker 4: that being a, leader being a really important part of
Speaker 4: the you, know the spirit of this. TEAM i think
Speaker 4: we're seeing it in the moments where you, know the
Speaker 4: game and maybe in the seventy fifth, minute it's going
Speaker 4: back and, forth it's ping, ponging and they've had some,
Speaker 4: chances but The rain's not putting it on on. Frame
Speaker 4: that's WHERE i See fishlock rallying the, troops getting everyone behind,
Speaker 4: her putting the team on her shoulders a little, bit
Speaker 4: and finding, something you, know for herself and for the.
Speaker 4: Team and so, unfortunately the you, know the good, part
Speaker 4: these young players are so. Skilled me official Sam mesa
Speaker 4: And Maria, DOMAS i Mean mercado ever you, know the
Speaker 4: youth and the potential is, there but they are Missing fishlock's.
Speaker 3: Presence they certainly. Are you, know we don't Do paul's
Speaker 3: Choice player of the matches for. LOSSES i would like
Speaker 3: to talk About Madison, curry Because Madison. Curry we talked
Speaker 3: about her skills and how good she was in The boston,
Speaker 3: game and then this game again she's the one who
Speaker 3: creates the own goal with a long ball over the
Speaker 3: top that gets popped in By washington's left. Back But,
Speaker 3: curry once, again her job On Trinity, rodman her job
Speaker 3: crossing balls in she had. ANOTHER i, mean if this
Speaker 3: was a one to one, game she would have been
Speaker 3: our player of the.
Speaker 2: MATCH i think.
Speaker 4: ABSOLUTELY i, mean you, know talk about in game of,
Speaker 4: inches there were multiple opportunities for The spirit that Without,
Speaker 4: curry you, know this would have been a different score.
Speaker 4: Line and so you, know it's hard to give sometimes
Speaker 4: defenders players of the match when there's been goals. Scored
Speaker 4: but the reality is that she had as much of
Speaker 4: an impact on that field today as anybody.
Speaker 3: Else she certainly. Did But Seattle ray not able to
Speaker 3: get the. Equalizer it's a two to one win For.
Speaker 3: Washington we'll take a break and we'll come back on
Speaker 3: the postgame show and we'll talk about what's next For

Speaker 1: On Sports radio nine fifty kJ.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the postgame.
Speaker 3: Show seattle rain falling today In washington by a score
Speaker 3: of two to, one and the rain now go on
Speaker 3: a Long World cup. Break it will not play for
Speaker 3: about a month and a. Half big games coming up
Speaker 3: right after The World cup break At lumenfield Against. Portland
Speaker 3: we'll be excited to be there for that, massive Massive
Speaker 3: darby when the break is. Over and on The World
Speaker 3: cup grass At lumenfield. Too that'll be awesome to be
Speaker 3: back At lumenfield very very. Soon but The World cup
Speaker 3: break is. Here three players will head on to international.
Speaker 2: Duty during this.
Speaker 3: Break we'll Have hollywood With, canada Has James, sterner who
Speaker 3: had a great game. Today she's going to be away With,
Speaker 3: wales and Then Claudia dickie away for The United states national.
Speaker 3: Team and you, KNOW i think a conversation should be
Speaker 3: had About Claudia dickie because there was obviously the free
Speaker 3: kick goal in the eighteenth minute that went over the
Speaker 3: head Of has And Claudia dickie we can talk about
Speaker 3: her role in that first. Goal and then also during
Speaker 3: the second half there was a massive giveaway there in
Speaker 3: her own box That Hal hirschfeldt picks up puts over the,
Speaker 3: bar but a massive chance there For. Washington and it's
Speaker 3: these MOMENTS i think for head Coach Emma hayes with
Speaker 3: the national, team you are Watching Claudia dickie in these.
Speaker 4: Moments, Yeah AND i think you, know one thing people
Speaker 4: see With Claudia dickey when they watch her play is
Speaker 4: she's just so obviously incredibly, talented you, know. TALENTED i
Speaker 4: mean the Way Emma hayes describer is just incredibly. Athletic
Speaker 4: the Way Laura harvey talks about her is just like
Speaker 4: the confidence that comes from that type of. Athleticism and
Speaker 4: she's great and she's taken the number one spot for
Speaker 4: the women's national team. Before AND i think the word
Speaker 4: That Laura harvey kept using for her is like this
Speaker 4: potential she has this, potential she can reach.
Speaker 5: It she's done it.
Speaker 4: Before but when you're prepping for international duty and club
Speaker 4: is your time to prove that to you, Know Emma
Speaker 4: hayes and the folks with the women's national, team these moments.
Speaker 4: Matter AND i think two things we saw From dickie
Speaker 4: today is a little bit of a lack of. Focus you,
Speaker 4: know she has the, talent she trusts herself to come
Speaker 4: out on those big, crosses but with her feet she
Speaker 4: needs to be. Perfect and with you, know a shot
Speaker 4: outside the eighteen Like santos had and just kind of
Speaker 4: whipping it around the back post like that was. All
Speaker 4: she is completely capable of shopping that. Ball it's almost
Speaker 4: like the problem with being too, athletic as people are, like,
Speaker 4: no we know you can get, that and so she
Speaker 4: needs to turn it up for this international.
Speaker 3: Duty the idea for the national team right now is
Speaker 3: that nobody has come out and grabbed that number one.
Speaker 3: Spot claudia right now is the number. One they had
Speaker 3: three games Against japan in the last couple. Months in
Speaker 3: those three, games two of the three were started By
Speaker 3: Claudia dicky and she right now is the choice By Emma.
Speaker 3: Hayes emahues joined us actually At luminfield for a broadcast
Speaker 3: about a month, ago and she talked goingly About Claudia dickie's.
Speaker 3: Skills but it is sort of the thing For claudia
Speaker 3: where you just want to make sure she understands the
Speaker 3: number one spot on the national team is there for
Speaker 3: you as a twenty six year. Old that is a
Speaker 3: spot that you could run for a. Decade, claudia you
Speaker 3: just gotta take. It and it's these moments in these
Speaker 3: games where you just, go, Oh, claudia you need to
Speaker 3: do a little bit more and be fully there.
Speaker 2: To grab that.
Speaker 6: Spot it's there for.
Speaker 11: You.
Speaker 4: Claudia, yeah, Absolutely and it's almost hard because you, know
Speaker 4: part of where confidence comes, FROM i think is some
Speaker 4: of this. Casualness you, know she's she's, not you, know
Speaker 4: getting on, herself and she's she does she is so,
Speaker 4: consistent she does what she needs to.
Speaker 5: Do but she is she's.
Speaker 4: Twenty, six so you, know maybe there's a little bit
Speaker 4: there of like turn it, up turn it. Up And
Speaker 4: i'm sure she's hearing that from all. Ends she doesn't
Speaker 4: have to hear it from. Us she knows what she
Speaker 4: needs to. Do today wasn't her best match she, made
Speaker 4: she still made some good saves and she's an incredible.
Speaker 9: Keeper she.
Speaker 3: Is so she's away with The United states, Again James
Speaker 3: turner away With, wales and then Also hollywood With canada
Speaker 3: again the. Rain they had this long break here and
Speaker 3: for the rest of the. TEAM i Think stephanie that
Speaker 3: the last question before we go into this long break
Speaker 3: for our broadcasts is where this team needs to move
Speaker 3: in the next month and a. Half how they need
Speaker 3: to get. Better how is. It maybe it's as simple
Speaker 3: as doing a lot of work on the training pitch
Speaker 3: with head Coach Laurel harvey to get this attack. Moving
Speaker 3: but clearly the question that we're going to start the
Speaker 3: pregame show with for That portland match In july is
Speaker 3: is the attack going to be?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 5: Exactly is the attack going to be?
Speaker 4: There that that's the big, Question and SO i think
Speaker 4: the focus here in this break is. Confidence when you
Speaker 4: are the, coach you Know Laura harvey knows what she's.
Speaker 4: Doing when you're the coach of a team that's going
Speaker 4: through some of these kind of inconsistent performances with finishing
Speaker 4: and with getting some goals on the, board what you
Speaker 4: need is the players all individually to one believe in
Speaker 4: themselves and as a unit up, top and so how
Speaker 4: you do. That lots of time, together you, know lots
Speaker 4: of individual work finishing all that good stuff for the technical.
Speaker 4: Elements BUT i think a lot of it is building
Speaker 4: in that trust and that, confidence and she's better at
Speaker 4: it than. Anyone but it will absolutely be the. FOCUS
Speaker 4: i think she knows. THAT i think she knows she
Speaker 4: likes to focus on. Defense but right, now the biggest
Speaker 4: question is who is going to consistently put balls in
Speaker 4: the back of the net for the. Rain and the
Speaker 4: one good thing though THAT i will, say for the
Speaker 4: rain going into this, break sometimes it's a blessing to
Speaker 4: not have too many players going away on international. Duty they,
Speaker 4: have you, know they have a break in, there but
Speaker 4: they also are going to have some time with a
Speaker 4: good core group to, really you, know shift what their
Speaker 4: future looks like for the rest of the season.
Speaker 3: Exactly so we will see what this attack looks. Like
Speaker 3: the season will resume On july fourth In kansas or
Speaker 3: In North. Carolina excuse, me that is a game On july.
Speaker 3: Fourth they're In North carolina for The Seattle. RAIN i
Speaker 3: don't believe we're gonna have a broadcast for That North carolina,
Speaker 3: game but we will be back for The portland game
