WEBVTT - Reign Beat Boston 2-0: Full Match Broadcast 0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.360 The following is an exclusive presentation of Seattle Rain Soccer 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:07.120 on Sports Radio nine fifty kJ. 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:13.960 Happy Friday, Everybody, Welcome back to Rain on the radio. 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:20.239 Sports Radio nine am. This is Seattle Rain FC Soccer 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.200 Jackson Felts alongside Stephanie Virjoya and Kwame Apia. We are 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.720 going to take you through Tonight's Rain versus Boston Legacy match. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:32.280 It's the first ever match between these clubs. Boston Legacy 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.720 is one of the newest NWSL teams alongside of Denver 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:40.400 and Tonight they are hosting Seattle Rain FC. They're hosting 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.640 them actually in Rhode Island. It's the first ever women's 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.960 professional soccer match in Rhode Island in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.400 at the home of Rhode Island FC. And Stephanie, you 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:56.640 have a noah history playing in Boston, the old Boston team, 0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:01.520 the Boston Breakers, and there is a legacy of soccer 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.399 in Boston even before this new Legacy team there is. 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.520 I mean, Boston was one of the best teams in 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.640 kind of all the three previous professional leagues. They were 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.440 one of the kind of tried and true, the team 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.160 that they people could rely on. So every time a 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:15.760 new league was formed, they were actually one of the 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.679 first ones in and so you know, it was devastating 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.080 when the Boston break was folded. I loved playing there. 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.399 I love the city. There's such an energy there for 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.720 sports fans, and I'm so grateful I had the opportunity 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.039 to be there. Now it's new, it's this whole new break, 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.399 this new Boston legacy. We were just talking about it 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.720 that uniforms are bright, they're just they're here. 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.800 It's kind of a new phase I think for Boston soccer. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.640 Green and pink. It's an interesting combination that we'll certainly 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.240 see well on our monitors today and on this field 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.480 here in Rhode Island. And the real story of this 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:52.440 game for the Rain side is can Seattle score quickly? 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.880 We'll give you the starting lineup from head coach Laura Harvey. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.880 Laura was not happy what happened last Friday. They lost 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.360 to nothing to Gotham. It was her birthday and she 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.080 had a bad birthday considering the team lost to nothing. 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.840 She was so angry that she said she didn't get 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.080 dressed on Saturday. It was just pajamas and a grump 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.360 all day. Then they digged into film. Then they digged 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.640 into some fixes and they have a new lineup. This 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.120 is the tenth new starting lineup for the rain in 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.200 their tenth game. They're three four and two. Today is 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.120 their tenth game as they sit right now in ninth 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.000 place with eleven points, and this new lineup has Claudia 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.040 Dicky in goal. Madison Curry will be your left back, 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.000 Jordan Bug finally getting a start. She's one of your 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.720 center backs on the left side. Phebe mcclernan is your 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.960 right sided center back. Sophia Huerta as your right back, 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.040 has James Turner and Ainsley McCammon will hold. In the midfield. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.560 Maddie Dollen, Sally Menti Hollyward are your attacking midfielders with 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.520 Maddie Mercado up top and Kwame. This attack for the 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.720 rain we've seen some different elements in some games, but 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.680 the big question is will this be the that can 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.160 get the team's first goal in five plus games? Yeah? 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.880 You know, having Jordan Bug back is actually an interesting, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.920 you know, kind of opportunity as well, because from someone 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.560 who had the rain FC goal of the year last season, right, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.320 you're now introducing another defender into the mix who can 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.520 actually transition and join the attack. And so obviously we're 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.000 looking at the attack to create the goals and opportunities. 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.520 But we have added another element now which gives us 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:25.760 a little bit of an extra boost. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.080 Stephanie, I think the question really is is this going 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.160 to be the group? When you look at Holly Ward, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.160 who's getting her second start of the year today, When 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.240 you look at Sally Menti, the Roosevelt High School lum, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.960 Maddie Donneen, her speed on the left side, Mercado up top, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.800 you don't have a me official. You don't have a 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.920 few players Cocoamandaci or Brady Ratcliff who've scored a lot 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.240 of goals this year as as a trio. You don't 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:50.960 have that. But can this group produce? 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.760 I think the answer is always yes. And I hate 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.800 to use the term rebuilding, and I feel like that 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.320 everyone hates that word, right, but this is a rebuilding year. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.040 I mean, losing she was just a stall war in 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.480 that midfield for them, and so not having her not 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.840 se me having some big player names in there. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.640 We have really young kids. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.400 I mean, we've talked about it over and over again 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.760 on these broadcasts. Seventeen year old's, twenty year old's, twenty 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.360 four year olds. Some of the players that we're asking 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.040 to do the most. I mean Madame Mercado twenty five 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.960 years old, right, And I think the answer is they 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.400 have energy. They're here, they're going to try and figure 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.680 it out. And it makes sense that Laura keeps trying 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.680 new things because they are trying to figure out. 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:27.960 Who they are. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.440 Yeah, that's it's a good point. And this is a 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.279 defensive first team and we certainly need to see the 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.960 offense come forward. The great stat that I heard on 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.600 the one of the broadcast calls was the fact that 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.919 over the last four years in the NWSL West Coast 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.520 teams have won only twenty six of their games on 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.280 the East coast. Seattle is ten percent above that line 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.520 at thirty six percent, and the Reign have gotten at 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.920 least a point in sixty percent of those East Coast 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.360 games and Kwame, that's a number that's certainly encouraging to 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.880 Laura Harvey. But it's gonna take a lot more than 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.440 just the travel to the East coast. They went out 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.039 on Wednesday and you've had a couple of days, but 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.640 this is gonna be a long road trip for this team. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.040 They play at Washington next Saturday. This is the first 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.920 of the bunch, and they're gonna need quality in addition 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.000 to that great road trip. Legacy, if I want to 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.120 use that word again. 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.680 For sure, you know, I think the Rain is a 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.520 regardless off. I think the streak that's currently going on, 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.479 the Rain is a team that has a great identity. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.320 They know exactly how they play them and they know 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.800 exactly how they want to transition, how to defend. I 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.800 think the missing piece has been how to attack, and 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.479 so that's what we're going to try to see today. 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.240 I think ultimately it comes down to taking all of 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.040 those core tools that are already there and then transitioning 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.320 it into that Ford and I feel like the Legacy 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.000 are still building an identity. So it gives us an opportunity. 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.200 Right with the structure of the Rain, do we have 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.440 ways to step into the pockets where there might be 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.880 a bit of a misalignment on the Legacy side, where 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.400 they don't know exactly where to be at the right time. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.520 Can we take advantage of that experience? 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.440 Well, that conversation about the Legacy perfectly trans Zis and 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.960 us to talk about them. We will take a break, 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.280 and we'll do that really quickly. Though. We'll dive intoto 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:09.000 this CVS team health report. CBS knows that healthier happens together. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.200 That's why CVS is on your side right when you 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.320 need them the most. CVS Health the official health and 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:19.200 wellness partner of Seattle Rain. F see for the rain 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.640 two players out, Just two players, Lynn Biandolo she's still 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.160 on maternity leave, and Jess Fishlock with that lower leg injury. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.800 Nobody else on the injury report for Seattle. Meanwhile, for Boston, 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.240 there is quite a few. One of their defenders Kaka 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.960 has an ankle injury. She's out, Fazia Najema she has 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.560 a thigh injury. Chloe Ricketts she has an ankle injury. 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.680 All of them are out. Les Aarujo is questionable. She 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.840 is available for Boston. Let's take a break and let's 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.599 talk about this Boston Legacy team. It is an interesting one, Kwame, 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.159 you said it. They're trying to figure out who they are, 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.640 and more than just simply the players building out of 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.600 an expansion side, They're trying to figure out how the 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.960 heck they play. We're here right now, try talking about 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.160 how the heck they play? We'll tell you and bring 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.160 you into our conversation ongoing here about the legacy.

They opened their season with five straight losses. 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.240 They are an expansion team, so that's not unheard of, 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.520 but in those five losses they were shut out four times. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:11.000 But since then they've been unbeaten, two to zero to 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.800 three run wins against Denver and Orlando and draws against 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.560 North Carolina, Gotham, who Seattle lost to to nothing last week, 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.720 and BAFC, where they got a one to one draw 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.200 last week. In that game against Bay By the way, 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:28.280 their captain leader, center back Beyonca Saint George's she got 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.520 a red card, her second red card of the year 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.959 that leads the league in red cards. She is out. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.960 So they have a new center back, Laurel Asbro starting 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:41.000 today in the middle of that kind of strange back three. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.680 And let's let's kind of open the discussion as Stephanie 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.080 kwame to talk about how this Boston team is going 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.120 to play, because I've watched a couple games of theirs, 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.120 and they have what's called a three to one buildout. 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.760 And now, you know, inten soccer fans might actually hear like, Okay, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.960 I've heard of, you know, four to two, Bill, I've 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.120 heard of, you know, various kind of things, a three 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.079 one where you have three center backs and then one 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:08.640 defensive midfielder in front of them. It's an unusual set up, Stephanie. 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.160 It can be. Yeah, So three at the back, you know, 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.720 four defenders at the back is what we consider kind 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.440 of standard normal, if you will. And so three at 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.640 the back, you're doing a lot of things there. Either 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.240 you're hoping you have maybe some two wing backs come 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.760 back and help out, which Boston might do at certain points. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.800 But what they really like to do is with three 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.120 at the back, and with that one holding mid carriage 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.400 who kind of anchors in there in front of them, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.280 she can drop into their line like another center back. 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.960 She doesn't always do that, not consistently. She can also 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.840 stay a little higher, allow those wide players to get 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.000 even higher. And then the whole idea is that you're 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.480 putting more numbers higher up the pitch to create more spacing, 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.360 more combination play. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.880 The risk is you only have three at the back. 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.440 Yeah, which it's interesting seeing a team that's still forming 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.160 an identity to have three at the back, because typically 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.640 you want things to feel a bit more consistent, and 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.000 when you want consistency, you go with a standard line. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.320 You go with two center backs. You can move left, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.360 move right, talking, unison, communicate. I think the communication is 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.120 a big part of it. When you go with three 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.600 at the back, you are definitely you're trying to set 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.480 a certain standard of I don't want anything coming through 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.280 the middle, and so they're okay with things going out wide. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.200 You have the two wing backs which are pushing box 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.840 the box. So the interesting conversation today is going to 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.480 be does Seattle take advantage of that? Because Seattle is 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.320 significantly strong at attacking from the wings, So can we 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:27.040 do that well? 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:31.000 Laurel Harvey talked about how this team, obviously we mentioned 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.880 it has not scored in five plus games. She said, 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.760 we need to change it up because quote why not 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.360 that it hasn't been working. We need to try some 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.640 new things. In that sense, She also said when you're 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.840 in a rut. You don't care how you score. You 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.439 just need to score. Quote, we just need that one. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.640 It can come off of a piece of hair or 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.920 an eyebrow. And you know, Stephanie, when we look at 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.640 the Seattle system, you said it that when you're working 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.400 with three center backs and one defensive midfielder, it's going 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.840 to leave you open at the back. If Seattle is 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.920 going to finally get off the schneid and score today, 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.600 no matter who their personnel is, this is the team 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:07.320 to do it against. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:08.240 I think that's true. 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:09.959 I mean, like Kwame said, there's not a lot of 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.360 consistency there and who this Boston team is when they're defending, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.680 and so it kind of gives us great opening for 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.640 Seattle to be like, hey, you don't have to go 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.440 up the line every time to sof we are sofioherta 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.560 to get a cross in. You know, maybe we do 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.600 something up the middle, maybe we try shots farther outside 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.760 the box, which which we haven't seen too much this year. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.000 And so it does create a good opening to a 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.360 little bit more freedom, little bit more creativity. I mean, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.840 Laura Harvey is an incredible coach at creating a system 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.480 and getting players to develop in that system. And I 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.320 think you could hear it in her voice this week 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:40.200 when she talked about it. 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.560 What this team needs is just something. It can be 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:44.080 a piece of. 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.960 Hair, you know, it can be a defender scoring, it 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:51.240 can be something unexpected. And teams go through these these moments. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.760 In long seasons, you are going to have times where 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.160 you don't score. This is an especially long one, and 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:57.640 so there's a desperation there. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.640 Desperation is interesting, Kwame because when you talk about a 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.200 Seattle team that's obviously does not have a win in 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.000 their last five because they haven't scored. We need this 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.800 team to continue to get results because we've slipped. I mean, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.920 at one point, I think our first broadcast for Rain, 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.640 at one point they were tied for second place in NWSL. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.040 They've slipped all the way to ninth right now. And 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.640 when we talk about how they're attacking, it's such an 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.760 interesting and important part because it has been different personnel 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.680 of all these games, and we were talking before the 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:31.880 show about how different types of wingers and different types 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.440 of attacking midfielders can get this team in better scoring positions. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.640 Yeah, you know, it is interesting. I feel like Seattle 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.640 has a certain dynamic play which actually accomplishes what you 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.760 want your team to do, which is get into the 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.480 attack and get balls in the box. But we just 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.800 haven't had the numbers in the box to convert. And 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.720 so where do we go from here? And I think 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.080 obviously football is a game of inches, so it comes 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:57.000 down to those one little moment, one little game opportunity. 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.760 You just have to make sure you get that opportunity 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.280 into the box if you can convert. When we spoke 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.840 to Maddy over you know, over the week, the major 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.600 thing was we just want to open the floodgates, right. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.200 I think sometimes it becomes a confidence thing. You know, 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.240 a lot of stress on your shoulders. It's just a 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.680 matter of converting that one goal that they just give 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:18.440 you that big exhale. Once that exhale is accomplished, Dan 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.440 Kes right, right, once that's done, then it just feels 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.800 like we can really start unloading. So today we just 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.400 got to make sure we put one in the box 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.280 where this team is giving us opportunities to Once we 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.640 get that exhale, it's it's, you know, full speed ahead. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.520 Let's talk about the matchup that that Laura Harvey, head coach, 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.760 wants today, and that is going up against the physicality 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.920 of Boston and they are a very very physical team 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.360 from everything that I've seen, from everything that we've heard. Meanwhile, 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.680 Laura Harvey says, we can go physical for physical and 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.640 we can play Cocoa Mondasy, or we can play me official, 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.560 or we can counter that. And Stephanie they are countering 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.640 that with her picks in the attack today. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.960 I think that's definitely true. Like you said, Coco Mondasy 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.680 player Sam Mesa as well. Those are players that you 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.760 just see them in tackles. They're very physical, They're great 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.959 at putting their body kind of on the line and 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.560 creating some disruption there for other teams. And so I 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.080 actually do really like what Harvey's going with here, which 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.080 is let's almost dance around them. They're going to do 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.480 emergency defending. They're going to drop their three, they're going 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.440 to come in hard. I mean, you know, if you 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.359 have a team that's leading the league in red cards, 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.600 I know it's just one player, but you know they're 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.400 doing some type of defending there, and so it's it's 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.400 dance around them. Be quick, play, move the ball, and 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.840 create a lot of chances because that's what they need most. 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.520 Kwamee, what do you want to see from the wingers 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.119 today specifically and how they move and how they attack. 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.919 As she's talking about that emergency defending that they'll see. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.000 Yeah, I want to see our wingers get into the 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.760 middle just a little bit more right. I want to 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.959 see service coming from our outside backs. We have one, 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.679 you know, an incredible assist leader and THENWSL when we 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.919 think about Sophia. So it's all about making sure we 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:52.679 get bodies in the box. And if we have our 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.720 wingers drifting wide and our outside backs drifting wide as well, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.600 we're just creating a redundancy to people who are creating 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.119 the same role to just the same thing, which takes 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.480 one extra attacker away from the box. And we want 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.200 to make sure we get in that box for the opportunities. 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.240 Yes, Sophia Hortz has thirty seven career assists off of 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.760 that right back position, so you'll see her for sure 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.720 get up into that top attack. Holly Ward. Will be 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.359 interesting to see our right winger today, see how she 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.000 plays and if she indeed cuts in like we're talking about. 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.639 This is Boston Legacy FC versus Seattle Rain FC, the 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.800 first ever professional women's soccer match in Patucket, Rhode Island, 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.920 and the whole state of Rhode Island that's never seen 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.040 a game like this. We will take a break for 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.159 the national anthem. We will come back and then we 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.520 will have kickoff. It's Seattle versus Boston for the first 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.840 time ever. With this Boston team will get you. The 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.720 call is Kickoff his next on sports radio at nine 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.280 to fifty km.

Seattle Rain FC 0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:00.320 in their tenth game of the NWSL season tonight, facing 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:04.240 the Boston Legacy, who are in their eleventh game so far. 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:08.240 Boston right now two five and three going up against 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:12.400 Seattle at three four and two, Seattle at a ninth 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:16.200 place with eleven points, Boston at fourteenth place with nine points. 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:18.359 So certainly do not want to see three points for 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:21.680 Boston swing them above Seattle. But it's a rain team 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:26.200 that has not scored in their last five games. Let's 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.119 get into this matchup a little bit more before we 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.359 get to kickoff, which is just a few seconds away. 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.560 The return today of nineteen year old center back. She 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:37.919 is a young phenom, Jordan Bug. She's been out with 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:41.919 two different lower leg injuries so far this season. Jordan 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.840 Bug is back. She's back starting at center back on 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:47.480 that left side, Stephanie. That is a huge addition for 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:48.199 Laura Harvey. 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.679 It is especially like we said before, defense is a 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.439 main focus in this team and in this structure of 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.840 play that she likes to run through. And Phoebe mclarnan 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.040 is great and she's really held down the fort there, 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.399 but Phoebe can be a little a little unpredictable I 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.639 think at times for Laura Harvey and so adding in 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:06.679 someone like Bug who can be very consistent, very composed, 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.000 I mean, it's incredible. She's so composed for how young 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.320 she is. She has a great balance to mclernan. 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.439 Kwame. This is a team that you have leaders on 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:17.919 this team, but the absence of Jeff Fishlock, and I 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:20.639 think casual soccer fans in Seattle all know the name 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.640 Jef Fishlock. Casual sports fans in the city definitely named 0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:27.200 Jeff Fishlock legend from the beginning. The news came out 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.159 last month that she will retire at the end of 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.399 the twenty twenty sixth season. She was the last remaining 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:36.520 club original from twenty thirteen. She'll be celebrated later this 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:40.000 year on October second against North Carolina during the Queen's Match. 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.760 Then right after her announcement on April twenty six she 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:48.439 had a major lower leg injury. The air cast the 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:52.320 stretcher good news. X rays were negative. She will be 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:56.600 back this summer, but making up for her impact not 0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:59.840 only in the attack Kwame, but her impact as a 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.359 leader on this team is something that Jordan Bug can 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.359 certainly help with. That is major, and that is true. 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.680 We are definitely missing her a lot, And I think 0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:10.399 a major thing to think about there is the identity 0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:12.240 of a team. When you take such a key piece 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.679 away from the team, it definitely removes some identity. But 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:16.760 when we think about Jordan coming back, I compare it 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.800 to a one of the biggest, most important soccer drills 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:20.679 that you will ever do. 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:22.480 It's called power and finesse. 0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.960 So we have Phoebe as that power, that dominant player, 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.240 and we have Jordan as a really finesse player, some 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:31.440 who can actually touch the ball, pass the ball off, 0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:33.960 get it back and is really great at giving deep 0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:36.199 balls here. So hopefully we get some opportunities to go 0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:37.800 longer with that. 0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:41.800 Seattle Rain in their blue surge kits tonight Boston Legacy 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:45.159 and they're all green jerseys. It's the first ever women's 0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:49.320 professional soccer match in Rhode Island, Boston, Seattle. Of course 0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:52.600 Boston had it the Boston Breakers of the NWSL they 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:56.600 folded a while back. This is a new expansion team 0:24:56.840 --> 0:25:00.879 new to twenty twenty six in this season. Soccer was 0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:04.040 gone in Boston for nearly a decade, but it is 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.920 back and it is in Rhode Island tonight. And after 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.719 a little false start, we are now underway in Rhode Island, 0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.960 and it's a second false start. The referee really wants 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:17.399 to be exact exactly when he wants to kick this 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:21.800 thing off, and our referee tonight is John Motto, and 0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:23.960 he kicks things off. Is now it goes back to 0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:25.920 Claudia Dickie and she will send it all the way 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:30.840 forward as this game is underway from Centralville Bank Stadium 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:35.320 in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Welcome in everybody, Jackson Felt, Stephanie Verdoya, 0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:38.320 Kwamea Pia it is Rain on the radio, Seattle Rain 0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:41.320 EFC versus Boston Legacy. Good to have you with us, 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:45.120 as Boston will have a throw in on the far 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.680 side the right to start this game off. After that 0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:55.639 long kick from Claudia Dickie. It's a very sounder Seahawk 0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:59.919 like colors here with the green of Boston and the 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:03.600 blue of Seattle all night contrasting colors on the field 0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:07.360 here in Rhode Island as Seattle Rain now ball into 0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.720 the box trying to find Maddy Mercado, but is headed 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:12.520 away by a Boston defender. Still with the rain here 0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:15.560 on this left side, it's Maddy Dollen cutting in, trying 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:18.240 to cross takes a tip that will be out. It 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.720 appears for a Rain corner here in the first minute 0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:21.520 of this game. 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:22.760 And I really hope to see a lot of that 0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:24.800 from Mattie Dolly and she kind of drives toward the 0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:26.639 end line there and tries to get around to her defender. 0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:29.320 It's exactly what Kwalmi was talking about pregame of just 0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:32.480 not staying wide. Can we drag those defenders inside? Can 0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:35.360 we cut across them, send crosses in or gets shots off. 0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:37.640 She did that great a few weeks ago, so hopefully 0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.119 she keeps bringing that energy and it forces them to 0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:41.439 defend in multiple ways. 0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:45.320 Roosevelt High School lum Sally Menti will be taking this 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:49.120 corner kick from the far side. It'll be an inswinger 0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:51.960 and it's going far to the top of the box. 0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:54.760 She has a couple players headed back still with the 0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:58.040 Rain Jordan Bugs shot will go into the stands and 0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:02.000 it'll be a goalkick for Austin's goalkeeper Casey Murphy, who 0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:04.760 has some history with Seattle. Actually, she was part of 0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:07.880 the Rain in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, made twenty 0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:11.480 appearances and it was cut short in twenty twenty because 0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:15.040 of the COVID shortened year, but started the majority of 0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:18.280 games in goal for Seattle Rain back in twenty nineteen. 0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:22.840 And here she is now in Boston and she sends 0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:25.359 it off to the right, long ball forward, but a 0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:27.560 good job getting in the way of that one. It's 0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:30.919 Madison Curry Curry to Dalen out for a throw in 0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:36.120 for Seattle two minutes into this one. 0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:39.600 And Casey Murphy also has some women's national team experience. 0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:42.200 She's a really solid keeper, so it's not going to 0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:43.680 be an easy night where they're going to hope to 0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:46.359 get something. You know, Flukey, she's solid in the back. 0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.040 Seattle here on the left. Here's Mattie Doleen chanced to 0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:53.080 cross it in has Mercado. It is tipped away still 0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.160 with the rain. Now on this right side for Huerta 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.320 Blerta with some space, she will cross it with her 0:27:58.400 --> 0:28:01.280 left foot, takes a deflection. Now here's Boston with it. 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.160 They will try to get going fast. It's a team 0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:06.720 in the Boston Legacy who are have an interesting structure 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:09.639 and right now they are pinned back by Seattle, who's 0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.600 been on the front foot since the opening seconds of 0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:15.800 this game. Now here is where it's on the right side, 0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:18.359 working with some midfielders. Has to play it all the 0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:22.560 way back to mcclernan and to Bug on this left side. 0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:26.680 As Seattle resets to the left and it's cut out 0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:28.679 a good shot there Mi Michelle Prince to take it 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:32.840 away from Boston coming up this right wing. Prince working 0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:35.800 on two rain players, cuts in, get some space, crossing 0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:37.960 it over to the little park and now over to 0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.680 the left side. Boston with more space on this counter attack, 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.440 cross gonna come in and it will go just above 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.880 that crossbar and we'll land on the top of that net. 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:52.840 As Seattle did well to not let anything too dangerous 0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:54.360 in the middle of the box on that counter. 0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:56.560 Yeah, and I think that's just a really good example. 0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:58.440 The play we saw there of how open this game 0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:01.520 is going to be was very transitional soccer. So Boston 0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:04.800 crossed into the attacking half in Seattle's defensive half and 0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:08.680 only two or three passes, big long passes that broke 0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:11.440 down Seattle's defense even though they were set and organized. 0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:13.560 So that's gonna have to be something they watch out for, 0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:17.240 because if Boston can break that down that quickly, they're 0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:18.440 going to create some issues. 0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:23.040 I saw the concerned look of Boston head coach Philip 0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:27.360 Patel a moment ago, as Seattle right now getting the 0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:28.800 way of that one. They will be trying to break 0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:32.760 on this left side, but not able to gather that one, 0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:34.600 and Boston will take it away in their own end. Kwame. 0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:36.680 We're now four and a half minutes into this game, 0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:40.080 and you saw the concerned look on Boston head coach's face, 0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:43.240 and we kind of wondered how these first few minutes 0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:47.000 would run with this buildout. We are seeing it with 0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:50.280 a very wide open defense for Boston. 0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:52.719 Yeah, it looks like transition is going to be a 0:29:52.880 --> 0:29:54.880 really big part of this game, like stuff. 0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:55.320 He was saying. 0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:57.600 I think right now it's going to feel a bit 0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:00.000 pig ping pongy right for a little bit of time. 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:01.640 I'm it's gonna go back and forth a lot. 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:03.600 I think maybe the concern look was because of the 0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:07.000 speed of transition, because once that ball was won almost 0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:09.400 in the rains half, it took quite a while for 0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:11.720 them to transition. So yeah, maybe a little bit of 0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:13.440 a speed of transition issue right now. 0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:15.120 And here is Boston now coming up on the right 0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:19.520 side with Prince Prince up to Triore working on Madison. 0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:22.080 Curry gets some space now, crossing it into Princes Princesson's 0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:25.560 space in the box, crossing it to the top, back 0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:28.600 out to another players. Shot takes those slight deflection and 0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:31.120 it's going to be out for a corner kick. Here 0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:34.440 in the sixth minute, a long distance shot from Olaveri 0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:37.360 who was able to get that ball back from Triori 0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:40.240 in the top of the box, and nothing for Claudia 0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:41.880 Dicky to do there as it took it to flunction 0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:44.560 and went well wide but now the ragin defense will 0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:48.360 have to deal with this corner kick coming early in Puttucket, 0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:51.480 Rhode Island, where Boston is playing seven matches this year. 0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:55.080 They played a few others at Gillette Stadium, the home 0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:57.920 of the New England Patriots and New England Revolution, and 0:30:57.960 --> 0:30:59.960 then next year they will transfer to their new home 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:05.239 home in actual Boston proper. Here comes the corner. They 0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:09.440 go short, now very going long, headed away, and the 0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:12.640 rain got a couple bodies on that one. It will 0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.880 go out for another corner kit coming from the same 0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:18.840 spot for I believe this will be now Canoe taking 0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:24.320 this one. Alba Cana, the Spaniard, will be taking this one. 0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:27.200 This will not go short this time. She has somebody 0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:29.760 running into help, but she will take a long end 0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:34.320 swinger going into the box headed away. Boston's still with 0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.360 it now, but it's taken away from the rain, cleared 0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:40.400 up the field, anybody there, No Boston will take this one, 0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:43.560 but give away right back rain chance to transition going 0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:45.280 away up the field. Can mat E Murcatta get to 0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.640 the end of that one. She cannot. Casey Murphy just 0:31:47.640 --> 0:31:50.560 have to dump it over to her left. Boston gonna 0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.480 try to transition come away with it, but they cannot 0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:54.840 control it. Will go out for a Rain throwing here 0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:55.880 in the seventh minute. 0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:57.880 And you know, I don't think Rain actually wants to 0:31:57.880 --> 0:31:59.520 play the transition game with Boston. 0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:00.640 I think there's strong at it. 0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:02.400 I think you put three players at the backs that 0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:04.440 you have a ton of numbers flying forward, and they 0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:07.520 seem pretty comfortable when they're doing that. The Rain don't 0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:10.160 seem comfortable when they're playing transition soccer. And it's because 0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:13.280 Laura Harvey has coached them time and time again to 0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:15.840 keep the ball, to stay in their structure, to be creative, 0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:18.120 but to really know where they're playing and how to 0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.840 play together. And I think they look slightly lost right 0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:23.680 now because of that speed and the transition that Boston's pushing. 0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:25.600 Yeah, it's sort of you know we talked about in 0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:28.320 the pregame and is true that kind of lack of 0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:32.800 a true functional, normal starting lineup for Boston. You know 0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.040 there's an expansion team is the Rain will get to 0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:37.880 that in a moment. Here's the transition on the right side. 0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:41.320 Chance to cross it in here is Holly Ward on 0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:44.480 this right, uses Wheer to her right back. Now to 0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:46.560 the middle of the park cross coming in towards the 0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:50.000 far side. For Dollen heads it up looking for a handball. 0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:53.600 It is a handball penalty kick coming for Seattle. Doleen 0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.840 went up, headed it down. Came off of a Boston 0:32:56.920 --> 0:33:00.360 arm that was I believe Emerson Elgin. It hits her 0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:03.480 arm and the Rain will have a penalty here in 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:09.320 the eighth minute of this game. That comes off just 0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:12.040 the upper on there. Stephanie Way, do you think of 0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:13.200 those ones are brutal? 0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:15.800 I mean, I think it's true. Her arm is moving right, 0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:17.000 it kind of blocks the balls. 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:19.560 It changes the ball's trajectory, even though it's up close 0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:20.200 to her shoulder. 0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:22.320 I do think it's a fair call, but you know, I'm. 0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:25.160 A Rain fan, so the letter of the law, it 0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:28.040 was not going anywhere too dangerous, but it comes off 0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:30.160 of an arm and the Rain will have their chance 0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:33.520 to score their first goal in five games right here, 0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:38.000 earned by Mattie Doleen, and now a chance to go 0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:40.959 up one nothing early. It is, of course Sophia A. Hoerta, 0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:46.160 the captain of this Seattle team, stepping up to the spot. 0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:51.440 She has not scored this year, has two assists forty 0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:56.959 four career NWSL goals for Sophia Hoerta, and it seems 0:33:56.960 --> 0:33:59.160 like they are taking a moment for this one. VR 0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:02.720 will look at this and we'll see if that is 0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.520 a true handball. We have a moment, Kwame, what do 0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:08.239 you think on that letter of the law or impact 0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.120 of the play refereeing. 0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:11.759 As much as we want to say that there's a 0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:13.799 strict rule of regulation that you know, it is a 0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:16.759 bit subjective at times, and I think ultimately you have 0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:19.239 to call it. If you see the ball hitting the 0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.799 arm which is outside a position in affecting play, that 0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:25.360 is a PK. You know, if it doesn't affect playing anyway, 0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:28.120 maybe there's a little bit more, you know, a room 0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.080 for interpretation, but it right here, I think it definitely 0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:31.239 affects the play in a major way. 0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:34.879 Our referee today, John Motto of var Laura Rodriguez, taking 0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:37.000 another look at this one as Maddie heads it down. 0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:40.960 It hits off of the left arm of Jorlin Carabali, 0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:45.520 Boston's right back tonight, as they are taking a extra 0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:48.520 long look at this one, Sofia Haerta, who's been with 0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:53.439 the Rain since the February of twenty twenty and going 0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:56.040 up right now against Casey Murphy, who was the Rain 0:34:56.160 --> 0:35:02.800 goalkeeper until twenty So these two have a history playing 0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.920 in Seattle together. As Laurel Harvey sits on her YETI 0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.080 cooler and takes a moment. 0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:11.239 And we're seeing a little bit of gamesmanship here. You'll 0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:13.160 see this in games now. The player who's taking the 0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:15.440 kick actually won't hold the ball. A different player will 0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:18.040 stand there because the keeper loves to come up, stand 0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:20.640 right at that player, stare him down, you know, make 0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:23.560 him feel a little intimidated. So the player who ends 0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.520 up taking the kick sometimes we'll kind of walk away, 0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:28.479 take some space. But it can't be understated how hard 0:35:28.520 --> 0:35:31.600 it is for this much amount of time to elapse 0:35:31.680 --> 0:35:34.480 before taking the kick. Pks are already a little stressful, 0:35:34.480 --> 0:35:35.680 and you got to wait for it now. 0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:36.720 So that's tough for Huerta. 0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:40.760 All right, here comes the call from our referee motto 0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:45.959 as Sophia Juerta. It was funny she handed the ball 0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:49.279 off to has James Turner. Then James Turner hand the 0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:52.600 ball back to Huerta. So it is the Rain twenty 0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:56.880 twenty teammates Huerta against Casey Murphy penalty kick Here in 0:35:56.880 --> 0:36:00.440 the eleventh minutes looking for the Rains first goal in 0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:04.360 five matches. Where To stands five yards from the ball, 0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:09.440 whistle blows Murphy jumping around where to her left forward 0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:10.959 shot in the back of the nets. 0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:16.000 Raine score and they have their first goal in too 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:20.200 long and they have a lead at Boston Legacy. 0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:22.320 It's one nothing in the eleventh minutes. 0:36:22.600 --> 0:36:25.920 Just a huge, huge relief, relief, relief relief. I think 0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:28.799 that's what Kalme said before, and it really is for 0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:30.440 this team to be able to see it does not 0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:33.000 matter how it comes. Laura Harvey said that herself, where 0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:35.560 toa does a great job to step up, compose. It 0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:37.839 puts us in the corner right low on the ground, 0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:40.640 away from Murphy, and it's just it's exactly what they needed. 0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:42.920 It doesn't matter how it comes. But now they feel 0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:45.479 like they don't have to be building to that goal 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:46.880 over and over it they have it. 0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:48.200 Now they can control the game. 0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:51.160 Yeah, I think it's it's a big composure goal. 0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:53.080 If I'm being honest with you, that much time in 0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:55.600 between the penalty being called and it being taken, the 0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:57.600 amount of rattling it does for the person who's taking 0:36:57.600 --> 0:37:00.160 that it really has to be appreciated there. So I 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:02.239 think that no matter how that ball gets in that goal, 0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:04.600 we really have to give credit to Sophia putting that 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:06.560 in the net. And I think ultimately now we got 0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:08.200 to build off of that. I do think set pieces 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:09.480 are going to be a big thing for today. So 0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:10.359 how do we go from here? 0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:15.319 Boston trying to work quickly on this right side rein 0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:18.560 up now early in this game, exactly what they wanted 0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:25.239 here after five winless and if foul called over there 0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:29.120 on Prince free kick coming for Boston in Rain's own end. 0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:31.680 As this is a team in Boston that likes to 0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:34.120 throw numbers forward. They likes to transition, they like to 0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:36.439 be physical, they like to be fast. It's a team 0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:40.200 that has been unbeaten in their last five games two 0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:43.880 to zero to three, after not having a single point 0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:46.480 in their first five games of this season. Here's a 0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:49.560 ball towards the box. Here's Prince chance to cross. Did 0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:53.319 it go out first? It did go out first. A 0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:58.160 tricky quick freekick there, see, but just missed on their side. 0:37:58.280 --> 0:37:59.520 Yeah, I love a trick play like that. 0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:01.279 Actually, they had the wall set up and they just 0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:03.080 played it around the outside of the wall. To a 0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:05.239 diagonal runner who kind of tries to whip the ball 0:38:05.280 --> 0:38:07.360 in a little bit too hard on the pass, so 0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:09.320 they weren't able to actually get it into the box. 0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:11.920 But you know, I love to see different set pieces 0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:14.640 like that. They're not just whipping it in. I expect 0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:17.000 them to though, because like you said, Boston's a little 0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:18.880 They can be a little chaotic in those moments. It 0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:20.600 also makes them strong and hard to defend. 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:24.720 Speaking of chaotic, a goalkick there for our goalkeeper, Claudia 0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:27.319 Dicky went short and some high press from Boston, nearly 0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:29.879 causing a turnover. Rayne working out of that turnover. Now 0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.879 playing it long here on the right side, headed out 0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:34.680 it will be a rain throwing Laura Harvey and her 0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:37.080 coaching staff Scott Parkinson William want to go fast here 0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:39.600 on this right side. Where to looking for someone to 0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:45.360 throw it into. Finds Mercado now up to the left side. 0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:48.239 Can't get to don lean it can she brings it down, 0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:49.479 Defender drags her down. 0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:49.959 No call. 0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:53.080 Boston comes away with that one after a questionable note call. 0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:59.120 Boston Legacy in their bright green kits tonight Seattle and 0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:03.080 all Seattle's working left to right on your radio dial. 0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:06.480 Boston working the other way. It's on the far side 0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:09.040 after that throw in, but Boston quickly turned it over 0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:12.320 and Seattle will have a moment to breathe with Curry 0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:15.280 sending it all the way back to Claudia Dicky. Claudia 0:39:15.320 --> 0:39:18.560 Dickey who is in line to be the United States 0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:23.359 women's national team starter for a long time, only twenty 0:39:23.440 --> 0:39:25.359 six years old, and she kind of took over that 0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:28.320 starting spot last year. She was recently part of the 0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.719 United States women's national team games against Japan where she 0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:35.440 started two of their three games in exhibitions against Japan 0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:39.600 and on April eleventh and April seventeenth, and she is 0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:43.840 established right now to be the United States starter. As 0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:46.719 balls popping around here, but Boston trying to clear it 0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:50.560 away now still going off of multiple legs. Boston will 0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:52.879 control on this right side. A couple players go down, 0:39:53.120 --> 0:39:55.520 cannot control that one, and it'll go out for a rain. 0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:58.279 Throwing a bit back and forth, play Kwame, and you 0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:02.560 expect Boston is going to that that kind of discohesion. 0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:05.600 I suppose that we've seen from them so far this 0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:08.040 season in terms of their formations, in terms of how 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:10.480 they build out. This is where you can exploit it 0:40:10.520 --> 0:40:11.040 even further. 0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:14.600 Yeah, I think ultimately their current goal is to get 0:40:14.600 --> 0:40:17.160 as many bodies forward as possible, which can be dangerous 0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:19.799 for them defensively, but as you are still trying to 0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:22.200 freely figure out your identity, it's like, Hey, if we're 0:40:22.239 --> 0:40:24.040 gonna get anything to happen, we got to put as 0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:25.799 many numbers behind it as possible and hope that it 0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:26.120 works out. 0:40:26.160 --> 0:40:29.000 Here's Seattle working in transition. Now up the left side. 0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:31.239 Da Leen chances to cross it in, cuts it in. 0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:33.680 Da Leen chance to shoot cuts it a little further 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:35.600 now all the way to the right side. For Wheer, 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.319 it's a lot of space to cross. She will cut 0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:40.320 it in. And now here comes across a lot of 0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:42.560 blue shirts there in the box, and they come down 0:40:42.560 --> 0:40:47.000 with it working against his curry, but she is not 0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:49.319 able to corral that away from a Boston defender. It's 0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:52.040 still with the rain after a Boston clearance, and it's 0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:54.480 now out for a Seattle throwing a bit back and 0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:57.160 forth there, but a good attack for Seattle. And it's 0:40:57.200 --> 0:40:59.000 sort of callt me what you said in the pregame. 0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:01.920 You want he's in the box and there were about 0:41:01.960 --> 0:41:05.319 five Blue shirts there in the box on that attack. Yeah, 0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:06.400 I mean you're seeing it. 0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:08.799 Look right now, even though the ball is not in 0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:11.880 a crossing position, there are already two bodies in the box. 0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:14.000 So we are starting to see that effort, that real 0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:15.279 effort to get in the box and see if you 0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:17.080 can get some opportunities with that cross. 0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:19.600 Boston taking away that throw and they will be controlling 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:23.480 here on the far side the right. Now along that 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:30.160 back three that certainly transforms in transitions with help. They 0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:33.319 deal with a three center back, one defensive midfield of 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:35.839 structure and send a lot of numbers forward. And here 0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:40.120 comes Boston working against some space against Seattle into the box, 0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:44.359 cuts on over to the left side, and the Rain 0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.319 do great to transition to fend and hold Boston up. 0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:52.080 They have it about ten yards outside of the box. 0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:54.279 Now over to this left side, chance to cross it 0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:57.280 in here here is Smith working into the box. Smith 0:41:57.400 --> 0:41:59.799 chance to shoot and it will go well wide of goal. 0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:03.719 Boston with a momentary chance there. But it's good transition 0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:04.719 defending Stephanie. 0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:05.440 It is it is. 0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:07.680 It's one thing that the Rain is very good at 0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:09.359 is getting their players behind the ball. 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:11.040 Get we call it getting into your line. 0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:12.800 So it's kind of like the whole midfield line is 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:15.080 back behind the ball, the defensive line is back behind 0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:18.560 the ball. So it's preventing that transition soccer where Boston 0:42:18.600 --> 0:42:20.399 can be numbers up, it can be three v two 0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:22.719 down a wing. You know that they really get back 0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:24.840 and get organized very well. It's one of their strengths. 0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:27.000 And we know Seattle likes to play out of the back, 0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:30.240 and with a high press of Boston, they will certainly 0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:30.960 be going forward. 0:42:31.000 --> 0:42:31.160 Here. 0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:35.000 Here is our goalkeeper Dickey who sends it to the 0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:37.440 middle of the park. A foul called one of our 0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:41.200 first fouls today is am'sbro one of their center backs 0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:43.680 got way up the field fouls and the rain will 0:42:43.680 --> 0:42:47.280 have another moment to breathe here against that press of Boston, 0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:48.279 and it. 0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:51.040 Is a very intense press, just so people can picture it. 0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:53.200 I mean they have five players at the top of 0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:56.000 the eighteen yard box. That is a very very aggressive 0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:58.680 press because it means they're giving up so much space behind. 0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:01.240 But if the rain can't out of it, it's obviously 0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:02.840 very dangerous amber. 0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:04.920 The rain trying to hold it here on this right side. 0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:09.280 Working with Huerta, working with Holly ward Ward who's getting 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:13.000 her second start of the year alongside Sally Menty, who's 0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:17.040 at the number ten position, the central attacking midfielder. She's 0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:20.040 also getting her second start of the year. As the 0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:22.360 Rain try to break that press and they will still 0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:24.160 be in possession in their own end of the field, 0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:27.960 working against multiple Boston defenders. A long ball forward is 0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:31.279 deflected out and it will be deflecting and so they're 0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:33.719 gonna say it's a Boston throwing. Looked like that took 0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:37.319 a deflection off of another Boston midfielder. But they will 0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:40.960 get the throw where trying to get in the middle 0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:42.720 of that one to take it away, but it stays 0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:45.319 with Boston in Seattle's end out of some space in 0:43:45.360 --> 0:43:48.399 the middle of the park over this right side. They 0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:51.560 have prints on that right wing. One of their talented 0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:54.960 wingers on this Boston team, working on Curry, cuts in 0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:58.080 and a good job there by Maddie Doll Lean to 0:43:58.160 --> 0:43:59.480 track back and get in the way of that one. 0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:03.680 Boston will have to reset near the midpoint line of 0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.520 this field here in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The first ever 0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:09.759 women's professional match in Rhode Island cuts in and in 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.719 another good deflection Maddie Doleen again getting in the way 0:44:12.760 --> 0:44:15.319 that pass, sending it all the way over to this 0:44:15.520 --> 0:44:18.359 right side. Foul called Hollywood brought down free kick coming 0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:21.719 for Seattle in the nineteenth minutes, and. 0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:23.839 You know, we're seeing some struggle from the rain being 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:26.239 able to really get out. But like we said, we 0:44:26.239 --> 0:44:28.520 don't want them to play the transition chess match with 0:44:28.840 --> 0:44:31.440 Boston because I actually think Boston might win that. But 0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:35.120 they need to get more numbers higher up the field 0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:37.480 a little quicker once they are trying to build. Once 0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:41.279 Boston loses it in their defensive hap maybe they can 0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:43.759 get war Like we were just seeing Mercado people higher 0:44:43.800 --> 0:44:46.000 up the field on the ball right now, Wh're does 0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:48.239 on it a lot, trying to build out and she's 0:44:48.280 --> 0:44:50.359 having a very hard time getting anywhere past the eighteen 0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:51.000 year old box. 0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:52.759 There's a long ball up on the left side for 0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:55.920 Doleen with Kyl Bally takes it away for Boston on 0:44:55.960 --> 0:44:58.719 that back end, just trying to shuffle that ball out 0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:01.319 but it does not get there. Seattle with it in 0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:05.640 Boston's own end working on that left side as Sally Menti, 0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:08.480 and that is going to be out for a Boston 0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.760 goalkick here in the twentieth minute. It is interesting because 0:45:12.040 --> 0:45:16.080 breaking Boston's press is challenging. They haven't been as many 0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:19.239 turnovers as maybe three games ago you would expect. Where 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:21.399 three games ago the conversation was we got to stop 0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:22.879 turning it over and iron and we got to stop 0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:25.120 turning it over and it kept happening, it kept leading 0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:27.360 to goals. You think of the Utah game. That hasn't 0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:29.440 happened as much today. You just got to make sure 0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:31.960 you stay on that approach and don't turn it all over. 0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:35.480 As Boston's now working in possession on this near side 0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:36.040 the left. 0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:38.480 Yeah, that's absolutely important. I do think not to give 0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:40.120 her too much Gretor we're early in the game, but 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:42.439 Bug coming back and having that presence in the back 0:45:42.480 --> 0:45:45.040 line can give a lot of people confidence of how. 0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:45.839 They can keep the ball. 0:45:46.080 --> 0:45:48.799 It's olavary now to prints on the right side, chance 0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:50.920 to cross it in, but the cross goes far too 0:45:50.960 --> 0:45:53.720 long and it will be a goalkick here for Claudia Dickey. 0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:57.000 There have been, you know, a lot of if you 0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:58.640 look at the heat map of this game, it will 0:45:58.640 --> 0:46:01.040 probably be very much in Seattle is on the end 0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:04.000 of the field, kualme, but there haven't been anything too 0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:07.440 dangerous yet for Boston. You can see the builds that 0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:09.680 you can see the as we saw the trick play 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.600 on that free kick, but there hasn't been anything really 0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:15.120 great chances. Why so far in twenty minutes of this 0:46:15.160 --> 0:46:16.960 game that has the Rain leading won nothing. 0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:19.200 Yeah, and that's when it comes down to, I know 0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:20.680 you can hear this world a million times, but the 0:46:20.719 --> 0:46:23.279 team's identity as of right now, Boston seems to really 0:46:23.320 --> 0:46:26.319 want to build on a one player identity system where 0:46:26.320 --> 0:46:28.160 it almost feels like it takes a lot of high 0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:31.080 level individual talent to really get in behind Seattle, whereas 0:46:31.120 --> 0:46:36.680 Seattle plays very team back and forth, very structural, and 0:46:36.719 --> 0:46:39.319 so you see an opportunity occasionally where Boston actually does 0:46:39.360 --> 0:46:42.479 break in with some incredible talent, but it's not gonna 0:46:42.480 --> 0:46:42.960 be consistent. 0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:46.280 It's not gonna be very consistent. So Boston break here 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:48.799 and they if their press works as the Rain turn 0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:51.200 it over, Boston into the box trying to get it 0:46:51.239 --> 0:46:52.839 to a player, but it's clicked away. A nice job 0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:55.840 there by Vimy mcclerniny clearing that one for Seattle towards 0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:58.920 the middle of the field to Mercado working against two defenders. 0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:01.600 Unces back out and it cleared all the way to 0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:04.640 this right side. Here's Holly Ward, but the ball bounces 0:47:04.719 --> 0:47:08.520 up and hits Holly's arm. It will be a handball. 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:11.640 Boston get the free kick Mercado quickly to get in 0:47:11.640 --> 0:47:14.000 the way of that one interception here for Seattle coming 0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:16.719 the other way quickly, and here is the middle of 0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:20.120 the park. Now to Ward on this right side Ward 0:47:20.200 --> 0:47:22.040 chance to cross it in to the middle of the 0:47:22.040 --> 0:47:24.920 park Dleen, and it's a great save there right in 0:47:24.960 --> 0:47:27.640 the arms of Casey Murphy, but a good cross there 0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:30.120 by Holly Ward. Dahleen gets to the end of it 0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:33.880 and she redirects it, unfortunately directly at the goalkeeper. 0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:35.920 And it's kind of wild how differently it feels when 0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:38.040 you're up one zero, because that would have been across that. 0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:39.759 You know, if we were zero zero, we'd be saying 0:47:39.800 --> 0:47:41.320 these are the ones they have to finish. 0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:42.600 That is still true. 0:47:42.840 --> 0:47:45.720 Dolene still needs to get some better contact on that ball. 0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:50.120 Direct that across the goalkeeper, across Murphy, and she gets contact, 0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:52.479 but she's just not there. The finishing element still isn't 0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:55.319 there for them, but it feels differently. They're up one zero, 0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:58.719 they're creating chances. This looks like good progress for the 0:47:58.719 --> 0:47:59.319 Seattle Range. 0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:00.960 And how does it come that comes over from a 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:03.960 turnover in the middle of the field that Boston just 0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:08.080 has too many numbers forward. And once again, as we've 0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:10.720 seen for Boston a number of times this season, again 0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:13.120 they lost their first five games of the season. They 0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:16.040 were shut out four times, and that is a big 0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:17.880 reason why they send a lot of numbers forward. And 0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:19.640 when they turn it over in the middle of the park, 0:48:19.880 --> 0:48:21.879 it is easy for them to give up goals. They 0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:25.400 nearly did there to Maddie Dollen, who got a foot 0:48:25.400 --> 0:48:27.560 to the end of Hollyward's cross, but it went right 0:48:27.680 --> 0:48:31.719 at Boston's goalkeeper. And now here is Boston working in possession. 0:48:31.880 --> 0:48:33.920 A couple of players go down. They have in the 0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:36.439 middle of park. Here's Olaveri now to the right side, 0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:38.640 chance for Canota cross it in Conote to the middle 0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:42.880 of the box. Prince can't gather that one still with Boston, 0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:45.440 it will go into the arms of our goalkeeper, Claudia Dickey. 0:48:45.800 --> 0:48:49.040 But that was one of the first true dangerous moments there. 0:48:49.120 --> 0:48:52.280 Stephanie is we saw a great chance for Nachelle Prince 0:48:52.280 --> 0:48:53.680 in the middle of the box on that cross. She 0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:54.719 couldn't do anything with it. 0:48:54.920 --> 0:48:56.920 Yeah, and it's any same thing we're talking about with 0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:59.200 the Rain, those crosses, if they're in a good position 0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:01.040 and they're able to to get something, it's one. It's 0:49:01.040 --> 0:49:03.080 obviously one of the most dangerous areas of the field. 0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:05.200 It's where most of the goals are scored, right top 0:49:05.239 --> 0:49:07.480 of the eighteen, kind of in that penalty area box. 0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:11.160 And they are going to keep creating these chances. 0:49:11.200 --> 0:49:13.160 I think Boston is that team that we're seeing where 0:49:13.160 --> 0:49:15.600 they're getting numbers forward. They have a lot of numbers 0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:18.080 forward and so they weren't able to capitalize that. But 0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:20.000 that's something the Rain has to pay attention to, is 0:49:20.000 --> 0:49:22.279 how often they're trying to lump those balls. And it's 0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:24.279 it's kind of like the same it's a mirror on 0:49:24.320 --> 0:49:24.800 each side. 0:49:24.840 --> 0:49:29.600 Actually, here's Boston now working towards this left side as 0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:32.480 they cross it over, but Prince can't get it taken 0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:36.040 away and McClernand clears it out for a throw in 0:49:36.160 --> 0:49:41.360 for Seattle as it hits off a sad at Triore's foot. 0:49:41.760 --> 0:49:43.239 You know, it'll be a Seattle throwing here in the 0:49:43.239 --> 0:49:46.399 twenty fifth minute, Seattle Rain leading one nothing, Jackson felt, 0:49:46.400 --> 0:49:48.960 Stephanie Verduya, Kwamia pia here on Sports Radio nine to 0:49:49.000 --> 0:49:52.279 fifty am. This is Rain on the radio, Seattle Rain 0:49:52.520 --> 0:49:57.520 FC versus Boston Legacy FC in the first ever professional 0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:02.080 women's soccer match in Rhode Island, as Boston is playing 0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.319 in Rhode Island tonight. A throw and will now come 0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:09.799 for Boston. They're playing at Central Bank Stadium in Pawtucket. 0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:14.400 They will change between here and Jillette Stadium for the 0:50:14.480 --> 0:50:17.840 rest of twenty twenty six and then moved to White 0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:22.000 Stadium in twenty twenty seven for this expansion team here, 0:50:22.560 --> 0:50:25.680 and they were the Boston Breakers. This team wasn't There 0:50:25.680 --> 0:50:29.320 was another NWSL team called the Boston Breakers that folded 0:50:29.360 --> 0:50:33.400 in twenty seventeen, and our own Stephanie, you played for 0:50:33.760 --> 0:50:36.920 Boston there for a few years twenty fifteen through twenty seventeen, 0:50:37.000 --> 0:50:40.800 and so they the new team is called the Boston Legacy. 0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:44.120 There is a legacy of soccer in Boston and you 0:50:44.160 --> 0:50:46.239 were a part of it for a number of years. 0:50:46.400 --> 0:50:46.880 Yeah, it's a. 0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:49.880 Great soccer city. I mean Seattle is a great soccer city. 0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:51.880 I don't know if there's a better one, to be honest, 0:50:51.920 --> 0:50:55.839 but Boston has Boston sports fans are let me tell you, 0:50:56.120 --> 0:50:58.480 those are some intense fans. I remember the first time 0:50:58.480 --> 0:50:59.759 I was there and one of my friends was a 0:50:59.760 --> 0:51:03.040 big Seahawks man, tried to come and, you know, jokingly 0:51:03.080 --> 0:51:05.240 make some go Seahawks cheers. 0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:07.160 I mean, it was not funny. People did not think 0:51:07.200 --> 0:51:07.760 it was funny. 0:51:07.840 --> 0:51:11.040 So this is a city that loves its sports, especially 0:51:11.080 --> 0:51:13.839 it's women's sports, and they've had great support for all 0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:15.000 the versions of the teams. 0:51:15.000 --> 0:51:17.640 They've had Ray now working in possession in their own 0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:19.880 end of the field, doing well against this Boston press 0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:21.239 now on the right side with where it to, trying 0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:23.800 to send a bolong ball Ford. She does get to Mercado, 0:51:24.000 --> 0:51:26.680 Mercado throwing a ball on on the right for Holly Ward. 0:51:26.719 --> 0:51:29.680 Ward can keep it in working one on one. Ward 0:51:30.000 --> 0:51:32.399 cuts in, goes towards the top of the box, still 0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:35.440 with Seattle, but a good job by one of their midfielders. 0:51:35.440 --> 0:51:37.400 I believe that's Hasbo to track back and get in 0:51:37.400 --> 0:51:39.960 the way of that one and Boston take it away 0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:42.240 in their own end and one thing we've seen, Kwame 0:51:42.440 --> 0:51:44.920 is is the Rain are sending a lot of balls forward, 0:51:45.040 --> 0:51:48.280 long balls towards the top because that Boston back line 0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:52.160 is really stepping up really high when they're in possession, 0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:55.439 and that is something that clearly Laura Harvey has seen 0:51:55.600 --> 0:51:56.720 is trying to exploit today. 0:51:57.200 --> 0:51:59.600 Yeah, you know, I think the Boston you know, entire 0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:03.560 strugu is bet against bet on our defense to make 0:52:03.560 --> 0:52:05.160 sure that we can stop the ball. It seems like 0:52:05.200 --> 0:52:08.280 Seattle has a bit of a disconnect from midfield to forward. 0:52:08.480 --> 0:52:11.360 It's coming boss, coming straight from deep line or goalie 0:52:11.480 --> 0:52:13.680 right into forward's feet and they're hoping to then lay 0:52:13.719 --> 0:52:15.640 it off and then play. But it seems like Boston 0:52:15.680 --> 0:52:17.239 has done a great job winning it once we get 0:52:17.280 --> 0:52:19.480 to that forward, because it's really just becomes a one 0:52:19.520 --> 0:52:19.879 on three. 0:52:19.960 --> 0:52:22.080 Well, here's another one of those long balls and exactly 0:52:22.160 --> 0:52:24.240 what you were just saying, trying to reach Holly Ward 0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:27.200 from the back line, but another Boston defender gets in 0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:30.799 the way of that one, and it's exactly what both 0:52:30.840 --> 0:52:32.880 teams right now are trying to do. Seattle's trying to 0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:36.880 exploit those big open gaps in the high back line 0:52:37.000 --> 0:52:41.279 and Boston's defenders are just doing just well enough. But 0:52:41.520 --> 0:52:44.879 Boston is down one nothing as they work into Seattle's end. 0:52:45.000 --> 0:52:49.000 A given away back and forth foul called Rain will 0:52:49.000 --> 0:52:51.400 have a free kick now from there on end of 0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:53.839 the field. We're into the twenty eighth minute, Seattle Rain 0:52:53.960 --> 0:52:57.200 leading one to nothing on a penalty kick from Sophia 0:52:57.239 --> 0:53:01.400 Huerta in the eleventh minute of this game. An eleventh 0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:05.279 minute penalty for number eleven, the captain today who gets 0:53:05.320 --> 0:53:09.000 her first goal of the year. She has started all 0:53:09.160 --> 0:53:12.160 ten games for the Rain and gets her forty fifth 0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:16.640 career goal in NWSL and one of those players we 0:53:16.680 --> 0:53:19.000 talked about it in pregame. With the loss of Jeff Fishlock, 0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:22.080 you needed the leadership, we needed the captain, You needed 0:53:22.200 --> 0:53:25.160 the attack to step up with the loss of Jess Fishlock. 0:53:25.600 --> 0:53:28.040 And it's fitting that Sophia Houerto's the one to break 0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:28.720 the goal streak. 0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:29.520 It is. 0:53:29.719 --> 0:53:31.880 It's such a well deserved goal for a great player, 0:53:31.920 --> 0:53:34.399 a great leader. She's clearly a great teammate. I mean 0:53:34.440 --> 0:53:37.080 people talk about her just with blowing terms. You know, 0:53:37.320 --> 0:53:39.400 she's fantastic. And I remember I was a midfielder, you know, 0:53:39.400 --> 0:53:40.719 I played in the middle of the field. So when 0:53:40.760 --> 0:53:42.440 you see a player like where To have that much 0:53:42.440 --> 0:53:45.440 success when she's trapped against a sideline, it just, oh, 0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:48.200 I don't like the feeling. You know, she has such 0:53:48.200 --> 0:53:49.960 a little space over there, and she's incredible. 0:53:49.960 --> 0:53:51.000 She does so much with it. 0:53:51.160 --> 0:53:53.279 Boston now working into the attack on this left side, 0:53:53.360 --> 0:53:56.520 chance for Sammy Smith to cross. She can't hold out one. 0:53:56.600 --> 0:53:57.840 She has to play it all the way back, but 0:53:57.880 --> 0:54:02.000 it's taken away quickly from Seattle. The Hollywood cannot control 0:54:02.080 --> 0:54:05.200 that one. It will go out forty Boston throwing will 0:54:05.280 --> 0:54:08.239 they look to go quick here? No, Sammy Smith taking 0:54:08.280 --> 0:54:11.719 a moment to throw this one in, but there is 0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:14.080 a lot of blue shirts for Seattle getting the way 0:54:14.120 --> 0:54:15.640 of that one. The ball still gets towards the top 0:54:15.640 --> 0:54:18.000 of the box, still with space for Boston. Now on 0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:23.320 the right side, here's Carra Bali and Cano tries to 0:54:23.360 --> 0:54:26.040 cut a ball over, but it's taken well there by Madison. 0:54:26.120 --> 0:54:27.360 Curry to get in the way of that one and 0:54:27.400 --> 0:54:30.520 send it all the way forward again trying to find Mercado, 0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:34.240 but just to a Boston defender. Now Boston again working 0:54:34.239 --> 0:54:37.080 in transition back again on this right side, here's Prince 0:54:37.160 --> 0:54:39.040 Prince chanced to cross it in towards the middle of 0:54:39.040 --> 0:54:41.160 the box, getting the way that one is Jordan bug 0:54:41.520 --> 0:54:44.560 but it's out for a corner kick here for Boston 0:54:44.640 --> 0:54:45.560 the thirtieth minute. 0:54:46.719 --> 0:54:48.520 Yeah, and we're seeing a lot again and a lot 0:54:48.560 --> 0:54:51.040 of numbers forward for Boston. That's what happens when you 0:54:51.080 --> 0:54:53.480 have a three back, especially a high three back. So 0:54:53.480 --> 0:54:56.880 they're connecting through their midfield very well at times, and 0:54:56.920 --> 0:55:00.200 they've almost outnumbered Seattle throughout the pitch if you think 0:55:00.239 --> 0:55:02.480 about it, a four to three three versus a three 0:55:02.600 --> 0:55:05.279 five two. Essentially they really are out numbered. So the 0:55:05.360 --> 0:55:07.279 ring need to get the ball higher up the field 0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:08.879 where there could be a good matchup in that three 0:55:08.920 --> 0:55:09.640 B three up top. 0:55:09.840 --> 0:55:13.560 Here's albut Cano for this corner kick here. It'll be 0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:16.000 an out swinger here in the thirtieth minute. Here it 0:55:16.080 --> 0:55:19.080 comes with the middle of a box, redirected and redirected 0:55:19.160 --> 0:55:22.239 right at the goalkeeper for Claudia. Dicky took off a 0:55:22.280 --> 0:55:26.800 couple awkward bounces, but the United States Women's national team 0:55:26.840 --> 0:55:30.600 goalkeeper Dicky is right there to grab that one. Another 0:55:30.600 --> 0:55:32.560 one of those dangerous plays where it just hits off 0:55:32.560 --> 0:55:36.120 a couple bodies takes an odd deflection there. Leave McCammon 0:55:36.200 --> 0:55:38.960 was part of that deflection and Dicky was right there 0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:41.080 for the safe as it looks like there is a 0:55:41.120 --> 0:55:45.840 Boston player down that is Iasa Triore who's down in 0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:51.120 a lot of pain holding that left leg. And this 0:55:51.320 --> 0:55:56.000 is not good for Triore, who has three goal contributions 0:55:56.000 --> 0:55:58.200 and her ten games he's played in every game for 0:55:58.239 --> 0:56:01.640 Boston so far has Triary. She is down in a 0:56:01.680 --> 0:56:04.880 lot of pain. But let's go back quickly as we 0:56:04.920 --> 0:56:08.239 see this play, we see that where to I don't 0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:11.400 know if she's stepped on her, but certainly got in 0:56:11.400 --> 0:56:15.520 the way and kind of twisted that knee there of Triory. Stephanie, 0:56:15.520 --> 0:56:17.280 what do you see As we saw that replay. 0:56:16.960 --> 0:56:17.839 They collided a little there. 0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:20.400 It looked like Sophia hurt might have stepped down while 0:56:20.640 --> 0:56:24.360 Priory was and her knee went out slightly. I you know, 0:56:24.480 --> 0:56:27.759 don't know exactly what she's going through down there right now. 0:56:27.800 --> 0:56:30.840 I would be surprised if it was a really bad injury. 0:56:30.840 --> 0:56:32.560 It looked like she was able to at least move 0:56:32.680 --> 0:56:34.799 on it afterwards, and that's always what you're looking for 0:56:34.840 --> 0:56:37.040 with knee injury, is you know, are they down? 0:56:37.120 --> 0:56:38.880 Are they able to extend it? Can they put pressure 0:56:38.920 --> 0:56:39.160 on it? 0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:41.040 So waiting to see how it looks like for her, 0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:43.120 But I don't think there was anything malicious, and I 0:56:43.120 --> 0:56:44.120 would be surprised if. 0:56:44.040 --> 0:56:46.879 She was out qualman. Let's go back to that corner 0:56:47.000 --> 0:56:49.879 kick there from Cano that took the couple deflections, comes 0:56:49.920 --> 0:56:52.879 off of McCammon, and a good save there from Claudia Dickey. 0:56:52.920 --> 0:56:54.640 What did you see on that play? You know, it 0:56:54.680 --> 0:56:56.520 was a nice floated ball right into the box. 0:56:56.560 --> 0:57:00.160 I think right now Boston is betting on winning or 0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:03.319 getting an opportunity or scoring off of set pieces right 0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:05.040 as you can see when the ball went back off 0:57:05.040 --> 0:57:07.120 to Prince, Prince basically just ducked it and said, hey, 0:57:07.120 --> 0:57:08.560 I'm not going to take this player on one v one. 0:57:08.640 --> 0:57:10.879 We have opportunity, we have a great corner kick taker 0:57:10.920 --> 0:57:13.120 and Kanye, so what can we do here? So it 0:57:13.200 --> 0:57:14.960 was a bit bobbly, a bit scary, but you know 0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:16.120 we've got safe hands in the. 0:57:16.040 --> 0:57:19.120 Goal and Trioria will enter this field again down and 0:57:19.200 --> 0:57:20.760 was in a lot of pain. She is back up 0:57:20.760 --> 0:57:23.240 and she is back on the field. That is Boston 0:57:23.400 --> 0:57:27.280 striker good to go is Seattle's thrown. They will control here, 0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:30.280 but dealing again with this very quick Boston press and 0:57:30.280 --> 0:57:34.240 Triori very quickly joining that press as if no injury 0:57:34.280 --> 0:57:38.360 happened two minutes ago. Good to go, and here's Seattle 0:57:38.360 --> 0:57:42.120 with where it's on the right side. Cuts in uses McCammon. 0:57:43.040 --> 0:57:47.840 Now mcclernan to Dicky. Press backs off and Dickie can 0:57:48.360 --> 0:57:52.480 have a moment to breathe. Here up the field to 0:57:52.640 --> 0:57:56.520 Sally Menty. Menti gives the ball away, but it's given 0:57:56.680 --> 0:58:01.600 right back. Mclernan on it. Press is right back for Boston. 0:58:01.680 --> 0:58:04.280 Is they have four green shirts all around Seattle. Can 0:58:04.320 --> 0:58:08.200 Seattle break that press? Ball field takes a deflection off 0:58:08.240 --> 0:58:11.200 of an arm and it'll be a free kick for Seattle. 0:58:11.240 --> 0:58:13.520 And there on the end of the field here thirty 0:58:13.560 --> 0:58:16.520 third minute, Seattle leading one to nothing here tonight. 0:58:17.320 --> 0:58:19.760 Yeah, and the rain are just swarmed when they're trying 0:58:19.760 --> 0:58:20.720 to build out of the back. 0:58:20.760 --> 0:58:23.480 They really are. I mean, there are green jerseys everywhere. 0:58:23.760 --> 0:58:25.800 This is a soccer that you're watching as a parent 0:58:26.120 --> 0:58:28.000 and your kids the one with the ball and you're like, 0:58:28.080 --> 0:58:30.440 just kick it, just kick it as far away as possible, 0:58:30.640 --> 0:58:33.160 because they are swarmed right now. I mean again, they 0:58:33.200 --> 0:58:34.880 have five players up at the top of the eighteen 0:58:34.960 --> 0:58:37.760 yard box, and so Dicky's looking around and where can 0:58:37.800 --> 0:58:38.120 she play. 0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:40.080 She can only send it forward, and she sends it 0:58:40.160 --> 0:58:42.480 forward to the middle of the park, trying to get 0:58:42.480 --> 0:58:46.440 it as Menty or Mercado and stays with Seattle. Is 0:58:46.520 --> 0:58:50.560 where it helps her out. Mercado goes down, they'll call 0:58:50.840 --> 0:58:53.920 back to the foot of Dickie, and here comes that 0:58:54.000 --> 0:58:57.960 Boston press, not in this moment, but they have five 0:58:58.080 --> 0:59:00.480 green shirts kind of just all around the edge of 0:59:00.520 --> 0:59:03.640 the box waiting to pounce. The moment it gets to 0:59:03.680 --> 0:59:06.760 a Seattle defender and Dickie just cap't keeping the ball 0:59:06.760 --> 0:59:08.640 at her foot where there is no press. Now a 0:59:08.680 --> 0:59:12.440 long ball forward to Mercado, headed to no one but Boston, 0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:16.520 taken away up the field of Triore, giving away to 0:59:16.680 --> 0:59:24.000 back to Seattle. Now back to Boston legacy working with 0:59:24.040 --> 0:59:29.280 it in their own end of the field. Haven't seen 0:59:29.280 --> 0:59:31.520 this much today? Is the ball is at foot of 0:59:31.560 --> 0:59:36.360 a Boston center back holding it with this back three. 0:59:36.880 --> 0:59:40.040 Now up to this left side for Sammy Smith who 0:59:40.120 --> 0:59:42.920 cuts in a lot of pressure now from Puerta, and 0:59:43.000 --> 0:59:46.560 this is where Seattle right now, leading one nothing, forcing 0:59:46.600 --> 0:59:49.160 Boston to play a little bit patiently. This is where 0:59:49.200 --> 0:59:51.520 Seattle wants to play right now, and this you don't 0:59:51.520 --> 0:59:54.280 have to play his transition, Stephanie. You can sit back, 0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:59.160 set up your defense in that setup at laural Harvey 0:59:59.200 --> 1:00:02.240 wants in the fourth three and let Boston work a 1:00:02.240 --> 1:00:04.520 little bit slower. This is much more to the liking 1:00:04.560 --> 1:00:05.000 of Harvey. 1:00:05.080 --> 1:00:07.120 Yep, definitely, this is a pace they like. They like 1:00:07.160 --> 1:00:08.640 to get in their positions. They like to have the 1:00:08.640 --> 1:00:10.480 ball in front of them so they can be organized 1:00:10.520 --> 1:00:12.560 and move as a unit, and they're doing a great 1:00:12.600 --> 1:00:15.240 job of that. I would not be shocked if Harvey 1:00:15.280 --> 1:00:17.440 completely changes their billd out plan when they come out 1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:18.240 in the second half. 1:00:18.480 --> 1:00:21.200 It is interesting. On the bench today for the team 1:00:21.280 --> 1:00:25.000 is sam Mezza. She is a dominant midfielder, a young 1:00:25.040 --> 1:00:29.040 dominant midfielder for this Seattle team. You know she didn't 1:00:29.080 --> 1:00:31.760 have as much practice this week, but she is available 1:00:31.800 --> 1:00:35.120 off the bench for Seattle and that is a major piece. 1:00:35.160 --> 1:00:37.920 If Boston wants to play this high press and a 1:00:37.920 --> 1:00:41.560 lot of pressure system, a second half substitute for sam 1:00:41.600 --> 1:00:45.320 Mezza would be a big boost for the Rain as 1:00:45.400 --> 1:00:47.760 Boston have it now on this left side all the 1:00:47.760 --> 1:00:49.959 way back to one of their center backs, and they'll 1:00:49.960 --> 1:00:51.120 have to send it now all the way back to 1:00:51.160 --> 1:00:54.240 their goalkeeper, Casey Murphy. One of the few times we've 1:00:54.280 --> 1:00:57.640 seen that today where Boston center backs are pressured all 1:00:57.680 --> 1:01:00.360 the way back to their keeper. And it's in interesting 1:01:00.400 --> 1:01:03.680 because the way they play, the high press, the run, run, run, 1:01:03.720 --> 1:01:05.320 the go, go go Plumbia, you can only do that 1:01:05.360 --> 1:01:07.360 for so long, and I think we may have seen 1:01:07.600 --> 1:01:10.200 that that number is about thirty three. Once thirty three 1:01:10.240 --> 1:01:12.640 minutes hits, they really had to slow down a fair 1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:13.440 bit in their play. 1:01:13.600 --> 1:01:15.760 Yeah, Like Stephanie was saying earlier, I'm very curious to 1:01:15.800 --> 1:01:18.640 see how the second half goes in terms of actually 1:01:18.640 --> 1:01:21.000 building out a plan and going back against this. Right now, 1:01:21.040 --> 1:01:23.800 it feels like Seattle's playing a little bit into the 1:01:23.840 --> 1:01:27.400 hands of Boston's you know, plan and strategy, and it's 1:01:27.400 --> 1:01:30.400 actually giving Boston a really interesting attacking and defensive edge. 1:01:30.440 --> 1:01:31.760 And here, you know, it could be paying. 1:01:31.520 --> 1:01:34.400 Off right crossing it in the box, headed away from 1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:38.000 Madison Curry, Seattle controlling into the middle of the park 1:01:38.040 --> 1:01:41.920 now and they find some space they can a good 1:01:41.960 --> 1:01:44.720 job there by menty to earn that space and now 1:01:44.760 --> 1:01:48.520 Bom goes along to the left side. Here is McCammon 1:01:48.800 --> 1:01:50.680 working all the way up to the field. Some mercado 1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:56.000 still with Seattle. Africa is cleared back and it will 1:01:56.080 --> 1:01:59.560 now be with Seattle's back line and that pressure from 1:01:59.600 --> 1:02:03.640 Boston and not as fervent as it was ten minutes ago. 1:02:03.760 --> 1:02:07.640 As we're now just about eight minutes away from the 1:02:07.680 --> 1:02:10.200 full forty five here in this first half where Seattle 1:02:10.280 --> 1:02:13.920 is leading one nothing and a kick out of bounds 1:02:13.960 --> 1:02:19.840 there bye, that was mcammon goes for a Boston throwing 1:02:19.920 --> 1:02:21.560 here on this left side, they throw it in quick 1:02:21.560 --> 1:02:24.000 and now working a long distance shot as well, wide 1:02:24.040 --> 1:02:28.760 goes about ten yards. Why did that write post for 1:02:28.880 --> 1:02:30.920 a goalkick from Claudia. 1:02:30.520 --> 1:02:35.960 Dickey And again I think that just a little bit 1:02:36.000 --> 1:02:39.240 more composure from these midfielders. You know they're under a 1:02:39.240 --> 1:02:41.600 ton of pressure. We saw mcammon come in there. She's 1:02:41.640 --> 1:02:44.120 a huge she's really important. If sam Mes is not 1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:45.720 going to be on the field breaking up some of 1:02:45.760 --> 1:02:48.960 this play and able to move the ball forward, then mcammon. 1:02:48.520 --> 1:02:49.640 Does need to fill that role. 1:02:49.680 --> 1:02:51.440 She needs to step up, and I think she's trying 1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:54.600 to be the connector, but under this pressure, she has 1:02:54.640 --> 1:02:54.880 to be. 1:02:54.840 --> 1:02:56.520 A little bit more of like the dictator, right. 1:02:56.560 --> 1:02:58.400 She has to decide where the ball goes, she has 1:02:58.440 --> 1:03:00.640 to turn when she can. He has to move the 1:03:00.640 --> 1:03:02.040 ball higher up the field quicker. 1:03:02.800 --> 1:03:05.360 For how much Boston is pressing, it's it's definitely a 1:03:05.400 --> 1:03:09.479 testament to Seattle's defense that Boston right now has such 1:03:09.560 --> 1:03:11.840 few expected goals. I last time I saw it, it 1:03:11.920 --> 1:03:14.919 was about point one point seven on the board here, 1:03:14.960 --> 1:03:18.200 and they have not had a lot of great chances 1:03:18.240 --> 1:03:21.960 at goal after another shot goes long and wide. But 1:03:22.120 --> 1:03:25.680 Boston's press maintaining that they have not been able to 1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:29.880 create anything against the Seattle defense that has been very, 1:03:29.960 --> 1:03:35.320 very good so far this year. It's a Seattle team 1:03:35.440 --> 1:03:41.480 that so far in twenty twenty six in ninth place 1:03:41.520 --> 1:03:46.400 with eleven points, winless in their last five, looking to 1:03:46.800 --> 1:03:48.960 be on the road for a three game road stretch, 1:03:50.080 --> 1:03:53.400 this game in Boston or in Rhode Island playing against Boston, 1:03:53.400 --> 1:03:56.480 and then they'll stay on the East Coast and then 1:03:56.520 --> 1:04:00.040 go straight to play the Washington Spirit a week from to. 1:04:00.320 --> 1:04:01.960 We will have that match as well for you right 1:04:01.960 --> 1:04:05.360 here on Sports Radio nine to fifty k am foul 1:04:05.400 --> 1:04:07.920 called in the middle of the park. Boston will have 1:04:07.920 --> 1:04:09.440 a free kick from their own end here in the 1:04:09.440 --> 1:04:13.560 thirty ninth minute. And it's an interesting situation here, Stephanie, 1:04:13.600 --> 1:04:16.200 where you do have these road games on the East Coast, 1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:18.920 so staying out there you can get acclimated. It was 1:04:19.040 --> 1:04:22.920 interesting too, Laura Harvey Seddon in the trip to Boston. 1:04:23.520 --> 1:04:26.080 They went out on Wednesday and they're staying on West 1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:29.520 Coast time. They haven't transitioned at all to East Coast 1:04:29.520 --> 1:04:32.520 time yet right now for them, they are actually working 1:04:32.720 --> 1:04:36.440 where it's about five fifty pm. Their body clocks are 1:04:36.520 --> 1:04:39.600 working in the sense of we are on West Coast 1:04:39.600 --> 1:04:42.480 time right now and we aren't going to transition our 1:04:42.520 --> 1:04:45.400 bodies to East Coast time until after this game. 1:04:45.600 --> 1:04:48.480 Yeah, it's a really interesting It's a whole new development 1:04:48.800 --> 1:04:53.280 in sports, know wellness, recovery, preparation cultures, truly. I mean 1:04:53.320 --> 1:04:56.080 it's wild. It's like how much has changed even from 1:04:56.080 --> 1:04:59.240 when I played. There's so much studies now done around 1:04:59.280 --> 1:05:01.920 sleep and how it impacts you, and so actually just 1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:03.840 trying to stick with your time, even if that means 1:05:03.840 --> 1:05:04.960 you're playing later in the day. 1:05:05.040 --> 1:05:06.560 I mean, you know, it's not too much later. 1:05:06.560 --> 1:05:08.200 This would have been an eight pm game for them, 1:05:08.480 --> 1:05:10.240 so there's a lot of benefit there. 1:05:10.240 --> 1:05:11.840 And it's just you told you if you would have 1:05:11.880 --> 1:05:13.800 told people this ten years ago, that chanced across on 1:05:13.800 --> 1:05:14.240 the left side. 1:05:14.280 --> 1:05:16.760 Sorry for Seattle, here is to Hollywood on the right 1:05:17.160 --> 1:05:20.400 Hollywood has where queer. It's a ball is intercepted from Boston. 1:05:20.400 --> 1:05:23.000 Sorry interrupt step there. That's a cross into the box 1:05:23.040 --> 1:05:25.760 and one of those big chances for Seattle on a 1:05:25.800 --> 1:05:28.960 takeaway that built very very quickly for Seattle. 1:05:29.280 --> 1:05:31.000 Yeah, and Ward and wheart are do. We had a 1:05:31.000 --> 1:05:33.560 pretty good job of staying connected. There's been a few 1:05:33.560 --> 1:05:36.000 times where I you know, they're super dangerous when they're 1:05:36.000 --> 1:05:37.760 together and on the same page, And on that last 1:05:37.760 --> 1:05:39.680 one they both kind of missed it and weren't on 1:05:39.720 --> 1:05:40.600 the same page. 1:05:41.000 --> 1:05:42.800 Rain still have it. Foul is going to be right 1:05:42.880 --> 1:05:44.920 outside of this box. That is a clear foul about 1:05:44.960 --> 1:05:47.880 six yards outside the box. Free kick coming for the 1:05:47.960 --> 1:05:51.400 Rain here in the forty first minute, dangerous spot kuwame 1:05:51.520 --> 1:05:53.920 for this free kick. We will see if it is 1:05:53.960 --> 1:05:55.680 where to who's going to be standing over this one? 1:05:55.680 --> 1:05:58.320 In just a moment after Sally MENTI was taken down there. 1:05:58.560 --> 1:06:00.320 Yeah, you know, it's just going back to what we 1:06:00.320 --> 1:06:02.120 said earlier. I think this game is going to be 1:06:02.160 --> 1:06:04.320 one or lost off of set pieces. It feels like 1:06:04.360 --> 1:06:07.160 a game that's gradually being played right in that middle area. 1:06:07.720 --> 1:06:11.240 A lot of pressing, a lot of counterattack. But right 1:06:11.240 --> 1:06:12.800 now it seems like it's just back and forth. And 1:06:12.840 --> 1:06:15.480 so I do feel like some opportunities to really stop, 1:06:15.720 --> 1:06:17.800 pause and see the game in front of you could 1:06:17.800 --> 1:06:19.040 be really what wins this game? 1:06:19.640 --> 1:06:22.680 Seattle leading one to nothing on an eleventh minute penalty 1:06:22.760 --> 1:06:26.040 kick from Sofia Horta, and she will be standing over 1:06:26.120 --> 1:06:29.480 this one here in the forty second minute, just about 1:06:29.680 --> 1:06:33.760 twenty four yards from goal where former rain goalkeeper Casey 1:06:33.840 --> 1:06:40.400 Murphy sits in goal right now for Boston. The question 1:06:40.520 --> 1:06:42.960 is will she put this one on frame or will 1:06:43.000 --> 1:06:43.840 she try to cross it? 1:06:43.840 --> 1:06:44.000 There? 1:06:44.000 --> 1:06:47.720 You see Jordan bug there on that right side, maybe 1:06:47.800 --> 1:06:52.240 looking towards that back post. Here is Squerreza stepping up. 1:06:52.720 --> 1:06:54.440 She will put it right at the wall, stays with 1:06:54.520 --> 1:06:56.680 the rain minty long distance shot. We'll go into the 1:06:56.680 --> 1:06:58.560 crowd there for a goalkick. 1:06:59.640 --> 1:07:00.840 Yeah, right into the wall there. 1:07:00.920 --> 1:07:02.640 Unfortunately, you never know what you're going to go for 1:07:02.680 --> 1:07:04.439 in those moments, how you're going to kind of curve 1:07:04.480 --> 1:07:07.400 it up and high end the upper V or sneak. 1:07:07.120 --> 1:07:07.880 One under the wall. 1:07:07.880 --> 1:07:10.480 That one didn't pan out, and then the kind of 1:07:10.520 --> 1:07:13.000 rebound shot. I mean, you get so excited when those 1:07:13.040 --> 1:07:13.360 come out. 1:07:13.400 --> 1:07:14.800 You know, you just really shoot for the moon. 1:07:14.840 --> 1:07:16.840 And that one was way over the Crossbard. 1:07:17.040 --> 1:07:19.360 Yeah, maybe it was you swear to trying to go 1:07:19.480 --> 1:07:23.000 under that wall. That didn't jump, but it bounced right 1:07:23.040 --> 1:07:27.200 back out and the goalkick for Boston will come in, 1:07:27.240 --> 1:07:30.280 but Boston quickly gives it away to the Rain three 1:07:30.360 --> 1:07:33.280 minutes before the break here, want both of your thoughts, 1:07:33.400 --> 1:07:36.320 Kwame and Stephanie on what the Rain need to do 1:07:36.400 --> 1:07:39.040 here in these final few minutes before the halftime whistle. 1:07:40.200 --> 1:07:42.560 I think the the wingers need to become a bit 1:07:42.600 --> 1:07:45.280 more connected to the to the you know, to the 1:07:45.320 --> 1:07:47.520 full backs. I think that's a bit of the disconnect 1:07:47.600 --> 1:07:50.160 right now. It seems like we're playing very very dominantly 1:07:50.240 --> 1:07:52.200 in the middle, trying to make sure we're finding our 1:07:52.320 --> 1:07:55.480 target nine target forward, play the ball over, get it 1:07:55.520 --> 1:07:58.280 to her feet and then hopefully she can find someone 1:07:58.440 --> 1:08:00.360 you know below her who can then send it up wide. 1:08:00.360 --> 1:08:01.520 But what we need to do is I feel like, 1:08:01.680 --> 1:08:04.640 find ways to get the ball out wide, get it 1:08:04.720 --> 1:08:06.880 out early so that they can then bring the ball 1:08:06.920 --> 1:08:09.080 in transition. But yeah, it feels like a bit of 1:08:09.120 --> 1:08:11.120 a fifty to fifty game right now, and we need 1:08:11.160 --> 1:08:13.920 to change that to, you know, something that's more consistent. 1:08:14.960 --> 1:08:16.920 Yeah, I don't know. In these last three minutes, I'm like, 1:08:17.040 --> 1:08:21.120 just just keep it out of the defensive end. You know, 1:08:21.200 --> 1:08:24.599 Boston's just coming with so much presser and so much energy, 1:08:24.640 --> 1:08:26.720 and they don't seem dangerous when they're on the ball, 1:08:26.720 --> 1:08:27.959 but they seem very. 1:08:27.800 --> 1:08:29.639 Dangerous when we are trying to build out. 1:08:29.960 --> 1:08:31.960 And so if I'm Laura Harvey, I'm like, get it 1:08:31.960 --> 1:08:33.400 out of the back and let's let us free group 1:08:33.439 --> 1:08:33.840 at halftime. 1:08:33.840 --> 1:08:35.719 I think that's what she literally just said. There actually 1:08:35.800 --> 1:08:38.160 was here yelling on her Yettie Core. That might be 1:08:38.160 --> 1:08:40.960 a word for word. Actually, what just happened is we're 1:08:40.960 --> 1:08:44.200 now into the forty fourth minute here. Yeah, Laura might 1:08:44.200 --> 1:08:47.000 be listening to the stream. I mean, I wouldn't blame her. 1:08:48.040 --> 1:08:52.840 iHeartRadio app Sports Radio nine to fifty Kjerim Jackson felt 1:08:52.880 --> 1:08:56.920 Stephanie Vrdoya Kwame Apia calling Rain on the radio, Seattle 1:08:57.000 --> 1:09:01.519 RAINFC leading Boston LEGACYFC. One enough here as we near 1:09:01.600 --> 1:09:05.519 the half, you know, going to that time zone conversation 1:09:05.560 --> 1:09:07.880 as Boston is in possession in their own end. Calme, 1:09:07.920 --> 1:09:10.000 you played in Sweden. Imagine if you tried to stay 1:09:10.000 --> 1:09:12.600 on West Coast time while playing in Sweden. Yeah, that 1:09:12.640 --> 1:09:16.320 would be that would be something else. Boston. Now here 1:09:16.400 --> 1:09:18.880 is Prince here on this right side. Prince chance to 1:09:18.920 --> 1:09:22.200 shoot goes just over the crossbar. Prince did a good 1:09:22.280 --> 1:09:24.719 job to quickly open up a little bit of space. 1:09:25.000 --> 1:09:27.559 She says it took a deflection. She wants a corner kick, 1:09:28.120 --> 1:09:32.360 Referee John Motto saying no it did not. But a 1:09:32.439 --> 1:09:35.760 quick build there from Boston nearly results in a shot 1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:36.320 on frame. 1:09:36.760 --> 1:09:36.960 Yeah. 1:09:37.000 --> 1:09:40.320 And they're just really sneaky passes that Boston's getting in 1:09:40.360 --> 1:09:43.920 this final third. They're finding players a lot of horizontal passes, 1:09:43.960 --> 1:09:47.240 so kind of going directly across the field, finding players 1:09:47.280 --> 1:09:49.320 in that middle. And that's where Prince was. And she's 1:09:49.360 --> 1:09:52.200 a dangerous player. She's fast, she got a very good foot. 1:09:52.240 --> 1:09:53.960 You know, she could put some power on that shot. 1:09:54.000 --> 1:09:55.479 And we're lucky that didn't go in. 1:09:55.840 --> 1:09:58.200 Yeah, Prince is one of their better attacking players. Has 1:09:58.240 --> 1:10:00.760 a goal to assist this year, as to nine out 1:10:00.760 --> 1:10:04.960 of their ten games so far this year. It still 1:10:05.080 --> 1:10:07.599 is Boston after a giveaway long distance shot and Dicky's 1:10:07.600 --> 1:10:11.320 able to grab that one at that near post, Claudia 1:10:11.360 --> 1:10:15.760 Dickie goes right into her diving chest, both arms around it. 1:10:16.120 --> 1:10:18.479 As the clock will strike forty five, we will see 1:10:18.479 --> 1:10:21.479 how much added time we have as a quick turnover 1:10:21.560 --> 1:10:24.519 nearly led to something for Boston. I believe that's their 1:10:24.800 --> 1:10:27.519 first legitimate shot on frame. There was a cornerkick that 1:10:27.600 --> 1:10:30.479 was kind of redirected towards Claudia Dicky, but that was 1:10:30.520 --> 1:10:35.080 a long distance shot put right at that left post. 1:10:35.080 --> 1:10:36.960 And now here's the rain trying to transition on this 1:10:37.080 --> 1:10:39.519 right side. Can it get to ward? No defender takes 1:10:39.520 --> 1:10:42.439 it away back to their goalkeeper, Casey Murphy, and Murphy 1:10:42.439 --> 1:10:44.320 has nowhere to go with it. She'll just have to 1:10:44.800 --> 1:10:46.960 send it out of bounds for a rain thrown about 1:10:46.960 --> 1:10:48.840 five yards from the end line. We are getting five 1:10:48.920 --> 1:10:51.640 minutes of added time. By the way we're into the 1:10:51.680 --> 1:10:55.000 forty fifth plus one. Five minutes will be added to 1:10:55.040 --> 1:10:57.680 this first half. Probably you'd imagine a lot of that 1:10:58.240 --> 1:11:02.000 due to the var review on what was the penalty 1:11:02.080 --> 1:11:04.680 kick for Seattle in the eleventh minute. But here is 1:11:04.680 --> 1:11:08.400 Seattle with this throw in Puerta and Ward and now 1:11:08.439 --> 1:11:11.439 Turner on this right side, trying to earn some space 1:11:11.479 --> 1:11:13.160 for a cross, but they'll have to send it all 1:11:13.200 --> 1:11:15.880 the way back out to mcclerny. Now mcclernan sending all 1:11:15.880 --> 1:11:19.200 the way into the box headed on, but all at 1:11:19.479 --> 1:11:23.280 green jerseys. They will clear it away. Seattle still with 1:11:23.320 --> 1:11:28.360 it in possession right on the middle part of this park, 1:11:29.080 --> 1:11:32.480 long ball towards the box, headed away for Boston. Mercado 1:11:32.560 --> 1:11:35.799 trying to come down with it. Now here's McCammon. Mccalmon 1:11:35.800 --> 1:11:39.320 can't get it. Boston working quickly in transition, but one 1:11:39.400 --> 1:11:42.360 misspass will hold them up just slightly. Seattle getting a 1:11:42.400 --> 1:11:45.840 lot of blue jerseys back quickly. Boston now with prints 1:11:45.880 --> 1:11:48.479 on the right side, working on Curry crossing it into 1:11:48.520 --> 1:11:52.120 the back post person there and it goes just wide. 1:11:52.800 --> 1:11:56.960 It went towards with the triory there on that back 1:11:57.040 --> 1:12:01.880 post from that cross, and as we actually headed out 1:12:01.960 --> 1:12:05.479 for a corner kick here in the forty fifth plus 1:12:05.520 --> 1:12:08.720 two as we see Trior that cross a prince and 1:12:08.760 --> 1:12:11.160 a good job by Huerta to just send it out 1:12:11.720 --> 1:12:14.160 as that was an open prince at the back post, 1:12:14.200 --> 1:12:16.679 and a good recovery there from Sophia Hortza. 1:12:17.000 --> 1:12:20.040 Yeah, excellent recovery from Sophia Fluorta. 1:12:19.840 --> 1:12:25.120 Quick corner here from Cano going short to Hasbo Hasba 1:12:25.200 --> 1:12:27.439 middle of the park to Ola Vari crossing it in 1:12:27.800 --> 1:12:32.479 towards Gold, goes up for it and not able to 1:12:32.479 --> 1:12:35.320 redirect it as Krabally one of their center backs. She 1:12:35.479 --> 1:12:40.840 sends it about twenty yards right left of the left 1:12:40.840 --> 1:12:43.439 post of Gold and that will be out for a 1:12:43.479 --> 1:12:46.200 goalkick for Claudia Dicky here with two and a half 1:12:46.280 --> 1:12:48.519 minutes to go before that halftime whistle. 1:12:49.360 --> 1:12:51.519 Yeah, and just back to that defense by Huerta. I 1:12:51.560 --> 1:12:55.400 mean it's really understated sometimes how dangerous those moments are. 1:12:55.439 --> 1:12:57.760 And she did a quick check of her shoulder and 1:12:58.240 --> 1:13:01.240 really put this last final dish effort to get there 1:13:01.320 --> 1:13:03.160 right before the cross got to that back post. 1:13:03.200 --> 1:13:03.519 Player. 1:13:03.720 --> 1:13:05.639 It's what you teach young players in the game all 1:13:05.680 --> 1:13:07.800 the time. You have to follow your runner all the 1:13:07.800 --> 1:13:10.040 way through, no matter where the ball is. You got 1:13:10.080 --> 1:13:12.200 to finish out that play, and you know it's those 1:13:12.280 --> 1:13:13.920 kinds of things as the leader of this team that 1:13:13.960 --> 1:13:16.679 she's doing consistently and is keeping her team in the game. 1:13:16.720 --> 1:13:18.320 You really got to give a shout out to her. 1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:21.479 Now Boston has gotten their best few chances here of 1:13:21.520 --> 1:13:23.840 the game. In the last fifteen to twenty minutes or so. 1:13:24.320 --> 1:13:28.360 Their high press has started the work of late. But 1:13:28.840 --> 1:13:31.000 the question is how long can they go with this 1:13:31.080 --> 1:13:33.320 high press deep into the night here in Rhode Island, 1:13:33.880 --> 1:13:38.400 Seattle leading one nothing here a couple minutes coming as 1:13:38.439 --> 1:13:41.439 Seattle will earn a throw in about ten yards from 1:13:41.560 --> 1:13:44.960 the end line, Maddie Dleen balls in her hands. She 1:13:45.040 --> 1:13:48.760 has Madison Curry and Maddie Mercado to throw it into 1:13:48.920 --> 1:13:51.479 the entire left side right now for Seattle, made up 1:13:51.520 --> 1:13:57.080 of Madison's and Maddie's handing it off now to Curry, 1:13:57.160 --> 1:13:59.760 who will throw it in very short. Here in the 1:14:00.040 --> 1:14:04.160 corner is Doleen and Free says that is out for 1:14:04.320 --> 1:14:09.439 a goalkick here. You know Murphy worked quickly with it, 1:14:09.720 --> 1:14:13.840 not too quickly right here, just about seventy seconds from 1:14:14.360 --> 1:14:17.280 the halftime whistle. Seattle will love to go in with 1:14:17.479 --> 1:14:22.000 this lead and then Laurel Harvey can reset because Murphy 1:14:22.680 --> 1:14:27.080 plays it short, and then a miscommunication with Laurel ansbro 1:14:27.560 --> 1:14:31.400 her center back and she dumps it actually out of 1:14:31.560 --> 1:14:36.479 her own end for a corner kick for Seattle. Inexplicable 1:14:37.479 --> 1:14:38.280 what happened there. 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:41.480 Well, you know, I think this could be a big opportunity. 1:14:41.520 --> 1:14:44.160 It seems Boston plays a very zonal defense when it 1:14:44.160 --> 1:14:46.839 comes to corners, so this actually could be an opportunity 1:14:46.880 --> 1:14:49.280 to put an extra one in the net before the half. 1:14:49.960 --> 1:14:52.519 Obviously a bit of a sloppy play, you know, And 1:14:52.560 --> 1:14:54.479 I think once again that comes down to a lot 1:14:54.520 --> 1:14:56.880 of pressing, a little bit of tired legs ready to 1:14:56.880 --> 1:14:57.479 get into the half. 1:14:57.520 --> 1:14:59.639 So let's see what this provides. Here's MENTI in swinger 1:14:59.680 --> 1:15:03.040 from the our side, going towards the far post. Here 1:15:03.080 --> 1:15:06.280 is Jordan Bug brings it down but can't get a 1:15:06.360 --> 1:15:11.280 shot off. It's redirected and still with Seattle. Believe that 1:15:11.400 --> 1:15:13.920 is still with mclernan, but it's out for a Boston 1:15:14.000 --> 1:15:17.200 throwing reach Jordan Bug at the back post. Stephanie, that 1:15:17.280 --> 1:15:19.200 was a heck of an opportunity. 1:15:18.680 --> 1:15:20.400 It was, and it's actually the second time so she 1:15:20.439 --> 1:15:22.200 got one very early on in the half as well. 1:15:22.240 --> 1:15:24.280 She kind of hangs out high, so kind of towards 1:15:24.280 --> 1:15:25.960 the top of the box and on that back post. 1:15:26.160 --> 1:15:27.439 Two times it has popped out to her. 1:15:27.640 --> 1:15:30.760 They are very difficult shots to hit, the ones that 1:15:30.800 --> 1:15:33.320 people think look easy, but now she kind of skies 1:15:33.360 --> 1:15:33.599 it there. 1:15:33.920 --> 1:15:35.960 All right. Well, that is the halftime whistle from our 1:15:35.960 --> 1:15:39.360 referee and Seattle will go into the break leading one nothing, 1:15:39.760 --> 1:15:42.839 Rain up with an eleventh minute penalty kip from Sophia Hortza. 1:15:42.880 --> 1:15:45.439 We'll take a break and we'll get to the halftime show. 1:15:45.600 --> 1:15:49.679 Seattle rained up looking for their first win in five matches. 1:15:49.960 --> 1:15:52.439 We'll talk about that first half next on Sports Radio 1:15:52.520 --> 1:15:54.000 nine to fifty KJRM. 1:15:54.120 --> 1:15:56.960 It's Mike Combrin and football.

It's Seattle one, Boston zero 1:18:09.680 --> 1:18:12.759 in the first ever professional women's soccer match in Rhode Island. 1:18:12.800 --> 1:18:18.120 This match taking place at Centralville Banks Stadium in Pawtucket, 1:18:18.160 --> 1:18:22.200 Rhode Island, where Boston Legacy FC is playing seven of 1:18:22.200 --> 1:18:25.439 their matches, this being the first this year before they 1:18:25.560 --> 1:18:28.439 open a new stadium. The expansion team playing, and the 1:18:28.479 --> 1:18:32.000 expansion team right now down one. Nothing to your Seattle reign. 1:18:32.439 --> 1:18:35.800 Let's talk about that first half. Stephanie Kwame, what do 1:18:35.840 --> 1:18:38.080 you think there from the first forty five minutes from Seattle? 1:18:38.760 --> 1:18:41.240 I think it was good, not great, to be honest, 1:18:41.280 --> 1:18:43.000 so that you know, they got a goal on the board, 1:18:43.000 --> 1:18:45.120 which basically we all talked about was like the main 1:18:45.200 --> 1:18:46.720 thing for this game. So don't want to take that 1:18:46.760 --> 1:18:48.439 away from them. It came from a PK. It came 1:18:48.479 --> 1:18:51.280 from good team effort. You have some good movement up top. 1:18:51.760 --> 1:18:55.000 But I think they're struggling still to really put their 1:18:55.040 --> 1:18:57.679 stamp on this game. And that is because Boston's press 1:18:58.040 --> 1:18:59.800 is so aggressive, and so what I would say is 1:18:59.840 --> 1:19:01.920 they need to figure out a way to be more aggressive, 1:19:01.960 --> 1:19:04.320 not just physically, but be more aggressive by moving the 1:19:04.360 --> 1:19:05.320 ball higher up the field. 1:19:05.360 --> 1:19:08.200 Otherwise I very much see Boston coming back in this game. 1:19:08.600 --> 1:19:11.639 Yeah, I'm gonna plus one on that one. I think 1:19:11.640 --> 1:19:13.360 it's good. I think that we've done really good job 1:19:13.360 --> 1:19:15.920 building out. I think despite all the pressure, we've found 1:19:15.920 --> 1:19:17.720 a way to find our target nine. You know, I 1:19:17.720 --> 1:19:19.519 feel like Maddie's been getting the ball to her feet. 1:19:19.760 --> 1:19:21.519 I think it now comes down to how do we 1:19:21.560 --> 1:19:24.200 connect Maddie with our midfielders and then to our wingers. 1:19:24.240 --> 1:19:26.479 And I feel like it's a game changer. And now 1:19:26.720 --> 1:19:30.320 I am starting to really see, you know, the decisions 1:19:30.360 --> 1:19:32.880 behind starting you know, highly on the wing. I think 1:19:32.920 --> 1:19:35.400 there's been a big part of tracking all the way 1:19:35.400 --> 1:19:39.800 from box to box. Boston is very much in Seattle's half, right, 1:19:39.840 --> 1:19:42.400 So you need a winger who's willing to come all 1:19:42.439 --> 1:19:44.120 the way back, put in the effort when the ball 1:19:44.280 --> 1:19:46.759 go back up the floor and hopefully you know, receive 1:19:46.760 --> 1:19:47.120 a pass. 1:19:47.160 --> 1:19:51.000 You know, moments before the first half started, we talked 1:19:51.120 --> 1:19:53.840 just for a briefly about Jordan Bug and the fact 1:19:53.840 --> 1:19:56.400 that she is back. She was out with two different 1:19:56.439 --> 1:19:59.000 lower leg injuries so far in twenty twenty six. She 1:19:59.080 --> 1:20:02.639 had come off the bench, hadn't gotten a start. But Stephanie, 1:20:02.680 --> 1:20:04.800 we look at the connection between Bug and mclernan. I 1:20:04.880 --> 1:20:08.040 mean when we talk about Lou Barnes, the Seattle rain legend, 1:20:08.040 --> 1:20:10.600 and there was the transition year last year where you 1:20:10.640 --> 1:20:13.719 know it was her last season, but last year Bug 1:20:13.800 --> 1:20:17.000 started twenty four of twenty six games. Mclernan started twenty 1:20:17.000 --> 1:20:20.640 four of twenty six games. That duo together, that camaraderie, 1:20:20.640 --> 1:20:23.200 I think we're seeing that payoff with them together again. 1:20:23.360 --> 1:20:26.080 Absolutely, there's some good continuity there. They trust each other. 1:20:26.120 --> 1:20:29.000 It's when you the back line, if players have played 1:20:29.000 --> 1:20:32.000 together before, it's it's really hard to overstate how much 1:20:32.080 --> 1:20:34.800 that helps that trust when when certain players are having 1:20:34.840 --> 1:20:36.640 to either you know, cover for one another or go 1:20:36.720 --> 1:20:38.280 up the field. And actually what we're seeing in the 1:20:38.320 --> 1:20:41.559 build up, probably because of Boston's press, but mclernan's actually 1:20:41.640 --> 1:20:44.439 cheating a little bit into the midfield at times, leaving 1:20:44.479 --> 1:20:46.840 Bug kind of to be lower on that line with 1:20:47.160 --> 1:20:50.160 the keeper. And so with Claudia Dicky back there, and 1:20:50.360 --> 1:20:52.760 you know, players feel more comfortable doing things that are 1:20:52.760 --> 1:20:55.200 slightly to their strengths but out of their comfort zone 1:20:55.240 --> 1:20:57.040 when they have players like Jordan Bugg in the back line. 1:20:57.080 --> 1:20:59.240 Yeah, and I should mention as well Madison Curry who 1:20:59.320 --> 1:21:02.439 also started twenty four of twenty six games as well. 1:21:02.479 --> 1:21:04.760 So you have the entire left side of that back line. 1:21:04.760 --> 1:21:07.599 And Sophia ware To she is your regular right back. 1:21:07.760 --> 1:21:10.080 She was on loan, she came back. She started the 1:21:10.120 --> 1:21:12.880 final thirteen games of the season for Seattle as well. 1:21:12.920 --> 1:21:16.360 But right now, the rain who have not won their 1:21:16.439 --> 1:21:18.960 last five, they've not scored, they got the goal, can 1:21:19.000 --> 1:21:21.600 they get the win? We'll tell you the Keith the 1:21:21.680 --> 1:21:24.000 second half next on the halftime show with Seattle leading 1:21:24.040 --> 1:21:26.960 one nothing on Sports Radio nine to fifty KJR AM. 1:21:27.200 --> 1:21:30.360 It's softy here Memorial Day is coming up, Schools almost out, 1:21:30.400 --> 1:21:32.760 and it's time to plan that summer road trip.

Seattle Rain leading Boston 1:24:38.439 --> 1:24:40.080 Legacy by a score of one. And now I think 1:24:40.080 --> 1:24:43.360 this is Rain on the radio. Seattle's professional women's soccer team, 1:24:43.439 --> 1:24:48.400 Seattle RAINFC in Rhode Island to face Boston Legacy tonight. 1:24:49.120 --> 1:24:51.719 Let's get to some keys to the second half. Stephanie kwalme, 1:24:52.320 --> 1:24:54.880 what are the keys to the Seattle Rain getting this 1:24:55.040 --> 1:24:55.799 victory tonight? 1:24:56.160 --> 1:24:56.439 Yeah. 1:24:56.439 --> 1:24:57.920 So for me, I'm gonna start with a player that's 1:24:57.960 --> 1:25:00.560 on the field. I think mcammon and I mentioned this 1:25:00.600 --> 1:25:02.680 stuff for this in the first half, she needs to 1:25:02.720 --> 1:25:05.200 do a little bit of a better job kind of 1:25:05.280 --> 1:25:07.840 dictating the game. So we keep talking about Seattle's having 1:25:07.880 --> 1:25:09.760 a hard time building out. They're having a hard time 1:25:09.760 --> 1:25:11.280 building out. They get it to where too, they don't 1:25:11.280 --> 1:25:13.439 know where to go. You know, Dicky kind of floats 1:25:13.479 --> 1:25:15.720 this ball up to Mercado, but we're not holding on 1:25:15.800 --> 1:25:18.479 to it. And I think what it takes is a 1:25:18.600 --> 1:25:22.040 very very composed, strong midfielder like McCammon to demand the 1:25:22.080 --> 1:25:25.040 ball to turn when she can, to drag her defender 1:25:25.080 --> 1:25:27.559 out of space to create actually more of a pathway 1:25:27.600 --> 1:25:31.160 to Mercado and then supporting Mercado underneath Menti as well. 1:25:31.760 --> 1:25:34.080 But those players especially, I'm looking to if you're going 1:25:34.120 --> 1:25:36.680 to continue to try to build out, use them, if 1:25:36.680 --> 1:25:38.960 you're going to switch up how you build out, then 1:25:38.960 --> 1:25:41.920 we're looking at bringing on some players maybe with some energy. 1:25:42.520 --> 1:25:45.040 Yeah, I honestly don't think I could have said it 1:25:45.040 --> 1:25:47.320 any better myself. You're hitting the nail on the head. 1:25:47.360 --> 1:25:50.000 I feel like we're not really having any turn and 1:25:50.120 --> 1:25:53.160 play action from mars center mids. We're just having, you know, 1:25:53.280 --> 1:25:55.759 play back. It feels like just let's keep the ball, 1:25:55.920 --> 1:25:57.760 let's play it back to our keeper. Keeper plays it 1:25:57.800 --> 1:25:59.400 over and then we go from there. We're not actually 1:25:59.479 --> 1:26:03.080 playing through the middle at all. We're playing hopeful, guessing 1:26:03.200 --> 1:26:05.040 soccer at the moment. At the end of the day, 1:26:05.080 --> 1:26:06.800 we are playing really tight as a unit, which has 1:26:06.840 --> 1:26:09.680 saved us, and I think defensively, Seattle always picks up 1:26:09.680 --> 1:26:12.719 slack and so it's been something that looks steady enough. 1:26:12.920 --> 1:26:16.200 But we want attacking play building from our midfield, so 1:26:16.240 --> 1:26:18.519 we need our midfielders to take that ball turn and 1:26:18.560 --> 1:26:19.439 actually play it forward. 1:26:19.520 --> 1:26:21.920 Let's go over who Laura Harvey has available off her 1:26:21.960 --> 1:26:24.880 bench today. Cassie Miller is the backup goalkeeper. Also has 1:26:24.920 --> 1:26:28.919 Cocoamanda ser Shay Holmes, Ryan Brown, sam Meza, me Official, 1:26:29.160 --> 1:26:33.280 Emily Mason, Brittany Ratcliffe, and Emria Domas Stephanie. That is 1:26:33.320 --> 1:26:37.200 a strong bench with offensive weapons, defensive players like the 1:26:37.240 --> 1:26:40.599 return at Shay Holmes. That's certainly somebody you can get 1:26:40.600 --> 1:26:42.880 in with Jordan Bugg perhaps on a minute limit coming 1:26:42.880 --> 1:26:45.559 back from injury. A lot of players for Laura Harvey 1:26:45.600 --> 1:26:46.759 to work with here leading. 1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:48.679 One nothing definitely, you know who I want to see 1:26:49.000 --> 1:26:51.680 me official. I just think she would come in and 1:26:51.720 --> 1:26:54.760 hold the ball up so well against the team that 1:26:54.840 --> 1:26:57.720 clearly we're going to have to play more direct and 1:26:57.760 --> 1:27:00.280 maybe quicker up the field. She's really good at that 1:27:00.840 --> 1:27:02.639 turn and play, kind of like what Kalme was saying, 1:27:02.640 --> 1:27:04.439 and I think she would change the game. I think 1:27:04.439 --> 1:27:06.640 there's others as well, like Mesa and Folks, but I 1:27:06.640 --> 1:27:08.519 would love to see the official in the next ten 1:27:08.560 --> 1:27:09.439 to fifteen minutes. 1:27:09.800 --> 1:27:10.760 Yeah, I agree with that. 1:27:10.800 --> 1:27:13.120 As why I think you're basically reading my mind. I 1:27:13.160 --> 1:27:15.160 think we need a player who's going to hold that 1:27:15.200 --> 1:27:17.080 ball up. Give us an opportunity to turn play to 1:27:17.120 --> 1:27:19.200 the wingers and then let's transition and go into the attack. 1:27:19.439 --> 1:27:21.559 Right now, I think Maddy's done a fantastic job, but 1:27:21.880 --> 1:27:23.559 it's been tough. I feel like it's a lot of 1:27:23.560 --> 1:27:26.360 wasted energy because it's ball consistently to Maddie. Matty's having 1:27:26.400 --> 1:27:27.880 to fight it off, and then it becomes one v 1:27:28.000 --> 1:27:30.680 four defenders and at a certain point, you know, you 1:27:30.720 --> 1:27:32.519 get a little bit of tired legs, and so right now, 1:27:32.560 --> 1:27:35.479 fresh legs in that nine position, in that forward position 1:27:35.800 --> 1:27:37.760 to play somebody in who can hold the ball turn 1:27:37.800 --> 1:27:38.240 in the play. 1:27:38.320 --> 1:27:40.760 Its Seattle leading, Boston won nothing. We'll get to the 1:27:40.800 --> 1:27:44.839 second half next. On sports Radio nine to fifty km. Okay. 1:27:44.880 --> 1:27:46.560 So the other day I got myself watching one of 1:27:46.600 --> 1:27:49.439 those Sunset cheval At commercials on TV. I just love 1:27:49.479 --> 1:27:50.000 those things. 1:27:50.120 --> 1:27:53.080 Anyway, I wondered, who really is the number one volume 1:27:53.160 --> 1:27:54.800 cheval A dailier in Washington State? 1:27:54.920 --> 1:27:55.439 And why? 1:27:55.520 --> 1:27:57.799 So I picked up my smart bone because it's smart, 1:27:58.320 --> 1:28:00.800 and I asked Siri, she knows everything right, and here's 1:28:00.840 --> 1:28:01.400 what she said. 1:28:01.760 --> 1:28:05.120 Sunset Chevrolet in some no Washington consistently ranks as Washington 1:28:05.200 --> 1:28:08.080 State's number one Chevrolet dealership by sales volume. It's mainly 1:28:08.120 --> 1:28:10.920 because of exclusive customer benefits like warranty protection for life 1:28:10.920 --> 1:28:13.400 and oil changes for life. High customer satisfaction and a 1:28:13.479 --> 1:28:16.479 vast inventory are also responsible. Sunset Chevrolet has held this 1:28:16.520 --> 1:28:19.000 top position for nearly two decades by focusing on customer 1:28:19.080 --> 1:28:22.320 loyalty through these unique added value programs, longevity and consistency. 1:28:22.320 --> 1:28:24.160 That's why Sunset Chevrolet is number one. 1:28:24.200 --> 1:28:27.360 So, Siri, why would anyone get a new Chevrolet anywhere 1:28:27.360 --> 1:28:29.880 else when the prices invoices and MSRPs are all about 1:28:29.920 --> 1:28:30.439 the same. 1:28:30.240 --> 1:28:31.840 At every Chevy dealership. 1:28:32.200 --> 1:28:33.719 Sorry, I have no idea. 1:28:34.200 --> 1:28:34.600 Tell you what. 1:28:34.840 --> 1:28:36.960 Go to Sirie, Alexa or whoever you go to for 1:28:37.000 --> 1:28:39.320 these questions and ask them the same question. 1:28:39.520 --> 1:28:41.000 You'll see what I mean.

Seattle Rain FC 1:30:56.240 --> 1:30:58.759 getting ready to kick off the second half against Boston 1:30:58.840 --> 1:31:02.599 Legacy Rain leading one nothing on an eleventh minute penalty 1:31:02.680 --> 1:31:07.160 kick by their captain Sophia Huerta in Rhode Island's first 1:31:07.160 --> 1:31:11.719 ever women's professional game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where Boston 1:31:11.760 --> 1:31:13.800 is playing seven of their games this year, this being 1:31:13.800 --> 1:31:16.559 the first in our referee John Model will whistle this 1:31:16.600 --> 1:31:21.080 one away as Boston in Rhode Island. We'll get this 1:31:21.120 --> 1:31:23.479 thing set off. It is funny. For Laura Harvey, head 1:31:23.479 --> 1:31:26.599 coach of Seattle Ran, her first ever win was all 1:31:26.600 --> 1:31:29.519 the way back in twenty thirteen in Boston against the 1:31:29.600 --> 1:31:33.880 old Boston Breakers that then folded in twenty seventeen. So 1:31:34.000 --> 1:31:38.879 Laura Harvey sertling with a good history in this region. 1:31:38.880 --> 1:31:41.000 I shouldn't even say. It's not the city, it's not 1:31:41.080 --> 1:31:44.160 the state. They're not even in Massachusetts. In this region 1:31:44.200 --> 1:31:47.280 of the country. Laura Harvey as good connection. And this 1:31:47.439 --> 1:31:51.040 is a Boston expansion team that was founded in twenty 1:31:51.080 --> 1:31:54.560 twenty three. This is their first season playing in NWSL. 1:31:54.880 --> 1:32:01.639 They were originally named Boss Nation FC bos Nation FC. 1:32:02.200 --> 1:32:06.720 Within minutes of that announcement, fans in Boston said, no, 1:32:06.840 --> 1:32:09.679 you don't, We are not supporting you if Boston Nation 1:32:09.880 --> 1:32:13.160 is your name. Within hours of the announcement, they put 1:32:13.200 --> 1:32:15.600 out a message saying, actually, no, we're not gonna go 1:32:15.640 --> 1:32:20.519 with that name. Six months later they became Boston Legacy FC, 1:32:21.200 --> 1:32:24.120 and they are down one. Nothing to Seattle here. As 1:32:24.160 --> 1:32:26.639 we get underway here in the second half, Boston working 1:32:26.720 --> 1:32:29.479 quickly on this right side. Now we will get to 1:32:29.520 --> 1:32:34.080 any potential changes as well in a little bit. As 1:32:34.080 --> 1:32:36.920 Boston works on that right side here with OLIVERI trying 1:32:36.920 --> 1:32:39.759 to cross it in, it will go well far of goal. 1:32:40.120 --> 1:32:42.080 And with this one that thing lead Kwalme. We talked 1:32:42.080 --> 1:32:44.479 about potential people to come off the bench. We talked 1:32:44.520 --> 1:32:47.559 about the official Coco Montas here with a lot of speed. 1:32:47.920 --> 1:32:50.920 Is another player who can really make a difference off 1:32:50.920 --> 1:32:52.000 of Laura Harvey's bench. 1:32:52.160 --> 1:32:54.560 Yeah, Coco Mantas one of the best players on the 1:32:54.640 --> 1:32:57.080 range at having the ball at her feet, and so 1:32:57.160 --> 1:32:59.000 that's gonna be a big game changer, right. I think 1:32:59.000 --> 1:33:01.400 Hollywood's in a great job tracking back and forth, but 1:33:01.479 --> 1:33:03.280 ultimately you're looking for some who you can give the 1:33:03.320 --> 1:33:05.000 ball to up there, who's going to make sure they 1:33:05.040 --> 1:33:07.880 can take that ball straight at feet down the line 1:33:07.920 --> 1:33:09.400 and provide us some service into the box. 1:33:09.479 --> 1:33:12.800 McClernand going along there. It is Boston controlling. Now they're 1:33:12.800 --> 1:33:15.000 trying to work quick here to the middle of the park. 1:33:17.120 --> 1:33:20.080 Now here's Cane on the left side cross coming in 1:33:20.120 --> 1:33:23.639 towards the far post, and no need for Claudia Dicky 1:33:23.680 --> 1:33:25.160 to jump up in that one. It's out for a 1:33:25.160 --> 1:33:28.639 goalkick here in the forty eighth minute, Stephanie. The system 1:33:28.680 --> 1:33:32.280 that we spent so much time talking about ver Boston. 1:33:32.360 --> 1:33:35.679 Their head coach, Felipa Patel, the thirty seven year old 1:33:36.120 --> 1:33:38.599 from Portugal, is an interesting system. 1:33:39.080 --> 1:33:39.960 Yeah, it definitely is. 1:33:40.040 --> 1:33:42.080 And we were just talking about how different coaches can 1:33:42.080 --> 1:33:45.200 come in with a very specific idea of what you 1:33:45.280 --> 1:33:47.280 want to get out of your players. And so when 1:33:47.280 --> 1:33:48.840 you play in a system like she is with a 1:33:48.840 --> 1:33:50.960 three five two, you can tell she's a coach that 1:33:51.000 --> 1:33:53.559 really wants her players to feel creative and free up 1:33:53.600 --> 1:33:56.320 top and a little bit more focus on goal scoring 1:33:56.360 --> 1:34:01.120 than defense, which is a classic criticism or positive you know, 1:34:01.200 --> 1:34:03.760 feedback of different types of cultures in the way they 1:34:03.760 --> 1:34:06.080 play soccer. And it's it's so fun to see her 1:34:06.240 --> 1:34:08.639 mark on the game because you can see she actually 1:34:08.720 --> 1:34:12.519 actively is forming these players in this new franchise, and 1:34:12.800 --> 1:34:14.920 you know, I expect her to be here for years 1:34:14.920 --> 1:34:16.320 to come in I think she's doing a great job 1:34:16.320 --> 1:34:16.920 with the players. 1:34:17.320 --> 1:34:20.759 Here's Seattle in possession. Now in Boston's own end. Curry 1:34:21.160 --> 1:34:24.920 will use her center backs. Boston pressed so much of 1:34:24.920 --> 1:34:27.759 that first half. Now Seattle trying to work against that press. 1:34:27.840 --> 1:34:31.760 Foul called right fifteen yards outside of the box, and 1:34:31.800 --> 1:34:34.160 Seattle will have a free kick, a chance to potentially 1:34:34.479 --> 1:34:36.519 cross this ball into the box. They will work quickly 1:34:36.560 --> 1:34:39.519 though on this left side. Here's Natty Dallen Natty Dollan 1:34:39.560 --> 1:34:42.400 in the box working against three defenders. Now back out 1:34:42.439 --> 1:34:45.760 to Curry. Curry trying to cross it in but takes 1:34:45.760 --> 1:34:48.280 it aflection, gets to a Boston boot and it will 1:34:48.320 --> 1:34:51.840 stay with the Green Shirts. But it will stay with 1:34:52.000 --> 1:34:56.360 Boston here on this near side the right and they 1:34:56.680 --> 1:34:59.800 love to transition very very quickly, and they will do 1:35:00.080 --> 1:35:03.320 again here on this right side towards the middle of 1:35:03.360 --> 1:35:05.640 the park. But mcclurin's stepping in the way of that one. 1:35:05.760 --> 1:35:08.519 Miss Jordan Bug actually great job to take that one. 1:35:08.400 --> 1:35:12.640 Away right there. You can actually see what we've been 1:35:12.640 --> 1:35:15.280 talking about at the half. We've had two opportunities now 1:35:15.360 --> 1:35:17.600 that have gone through the middle, has gone to a 1:35:17.640 --> 1:35:19.759 sixer and eight who has then turned and then played 1:35:19.840 --> 1:35:22.439 to either someone else in the midfield or someone out wide. 1:35:22.479 --> 1:35:24.200 And so we are starting to see that distribution through 1:35:24.200 --> 1:35:26.680 to midfield and that means that Laura is definitely you 1:35:26.920 --> 1:35:28.880 caught onto that and has definitely transition the game. 1:35:29.680 --> 1:35:33.759 That was the question is how exactly Laurel Harvey changes 1:35:33.800 --> 1:35:36.960 this game as it goes on and what subs may happen. 1:35:37.400 --> 1:35:39.599 Don't believe any subs made as a throw in comes 1:35:39.680 --> 1:35:41.479 for the Rain here on that right side, quickly turning 1:35:41.560 --> 1:35:44.720 his Ward, putting it under foot the shot and it 1:35:44.760 --> 1:35:47.879 takes an immediate deflection. Seattle's still with it in possession 1:35:47.960 --> 1:35:52.679 in Boston's half. Bug over to this right side working 1:35:52.760 --> 1:35:56.200 with Ward. Now here's chance for Mercado. Perhaps can't get 1:35:56.240 --> 1:35:58.280 to it, though, Boston doing a great job to grab 1:35:58.439 --> 1:36:00.360 that ball and send it out for a corner. Here 1:36:00.640 --> 1:36:02.760 in the fiftieth minute, Seattle leading won nothing. 1:36:04.120 --> 1:36:07.080 I'm just right there, aren't they? The blocked shots, the 1:36:07.320 --> 1:36:10.480 almost crosses, and again you know you want the waterfall 1:36:10.520 --> 1:36:12.800 of goals after you get that first goal of so 1:36:12.960 --> 1:36:15.640 many games not having it, and I really want them 1:36:15.680 --> 1:36:17.280 to get another one here because I think they will 1:36:17.320 --> 1:36:19.519 actually believe it that more are coming. 1:36:19.680 --> 1:36:22.679 Well, here is Minty, You'll be an outswinger here from 1:36:22.720 --> 1:36:25.080 the far side the right here in the fifty first minute, 1:36:25.600 --> 1:36:29.479 working against goalkeeper Casey Murphy former Rain goalkeeper. Now with Boston, 1:36:29.520 --> 1:36:32.040 here comes the corner going to the top of the box, 1:36:32.439 --> 1:36:34.320 does not reach Jordan Bug. I think that was the 1:36:34.439 --> 1:36:37.840 idea again, but it will stay with the Rain. That's 1:36:37.880 --> 1:36:40.320 Curry long ball towards the back post. Hast Dahlen Maddie 1:36:40.520 --> 1:36:44.400 in the back of the net. Maddie Daalen second gold 1:36:44.479 --> 1:36:45.080 for the Rain. 1:36:45.640 --> 1:36:50.040 It's two nothing Seattle, a corner kick, pop back out. 1:36:50.400 --> 1:36:54.519 The cross came in from the left side from Madison Curry. 1:36:55.080 --> 1:36:57.559 Madison to Maddie Daleen makes. 1:36:57.439 --> 1:36:58.080 It too nothing. 1:36:58.320 --> 1:37:01.719 Yeah, the magic of the Maddies apparently tonight. I mean, honestly, 1:37:01.760 --> 1:37:04.080 that was a fantastic goal. Just like we were saying, 1:37:04.160 --> 1:37:05.720 they need it to believe it. You can see it 1:37:05.840 --> 1:37:08.400 on their faces. You can see it when they're celebrating 1:37:08.720 --> 1:37:10.519 and this ball comes in and it's just a perfect 1:37:10.600 --> 1:37:14.200 chipped pass and she just in the back post, just easy, 1:37:14.320 --> 1:37:16.800 nice inside of the foot volley to go across the keeper. 1:37:16.880 --> 1:37:20.040 I mean, it's very composed, a good finished, great team goal, 1:37:20.080 --> 1:37:21.719 and you can tell they believe in themselves. 1:37:21.800 --> 1:37:21.920 Now. 1:37:22.439 --> 1:37:25.559 Yeah, the Maddie magic, we'll call it. That was incredible. 1:37:25.600 --> 1:37:27.760 I mean, one of the best crosses we've seen at 1:37:27.760 --> 1:37:30.479 the night. And you know, we haven't really seen Madison 1:37:30.880 --> 1:37:33.639 Curry too many opportunities to put the ball in the box, 1:37:33.680 --> 1:37:36.800 and I think that was floated just the perfect length, 1:37:36.920 --> 1:37:39.040 a ball that teases the keeper enough for them to 1:37:39.120 --> 1:37:41.120 come out, but not enough for them to come out 1:37:41.160 --> 1:37:41.840 and actually get. 1:37:41.760 --> 1:37:46.400 The ball from Maddie Doleen. That is her first goal 1:37:46.600 --> 1:37:50.400 of the year. She had four goals four assists in 1:37:50.520 --> 1:37:54.040 twenty six games last year, and this in her eighth 1:37:54.200 --> 1:37:58.760 game of twenty twenty six, gets her first goal and 1:37:58.880 --> 1:38:04.639 her sixth start. And it was, as you both accurately said, 1:38:04.680 --> 1:38:07.439 the magic of the Maddies. There is Seattle's entire left 1:38:07.479 --> 1:38:11.160 side today is Madison Curry, Mattie Doleen, and Mattie Mercado, 1:38:11.720 --> 1:38:16.280 and has Seattle right now leading to nothing against Boston 1:38:16.400 --> 1:38:21.200 Legacy on the road, and this would be Seattle's first 1:38:21.240 --> 1:38:23.559 win in quite a while. This would put them back 1:38:23.640 --> 1:38:26.320 into the playoff field. By the way, if they're able 1:38:26.360 --> 1:38:28.280 to wrap up these three points, and there is still 1:38:28.360 --> 1:38:30.680 thirty eight minutes to go. If they're a wrap up 1:38:30.680 --> 1:38:33.559 with these three points, they are back in that playoff picture. 1:38:33.640 --> 1:38:36.760 Throw in comes towards the box. Here is a long 1:38:36.760 --> 1:38:40.679 distant shot, takes a great save from Casey Murphy jumping 1:38:40.680 --> 1:38:42.640 to that one. I believe that was Matty Mercado, this 1:38:42.800 --> 1:38:45.519 time putting it onto her left foot and a great 1:38:45.600 --> 1:38:48.439 shot the holly ward excuse me on her left foot, 1:38:48.479 --> 1:38:51.679 great shot, forcing a big time save there from Murphy. 1:38:52.120 --> 1:38:54.280 Yeah, she did a great job to receive a throw in. Actually, 1:38:54.320 --> 1:38:55.920 how often do you get a shot off after a 1:38:56.000 --> 1:38:58.759 throw in? But she receives that ball, turns her defender, 1:38:59.120 --> 1:39:01.280 kind of does a little touch around another one, and 1:39:01.360 --> 1:39:04.120 then just a great volley and yeah, really pushes Murphy 1:39:04.160 --> 1:39:04.839 to tip. 1:39:04.720 --> 1:39:05.360 It over the edge. 1:39:05.840 --> 1:39:08.240 Here's Minty. You're gonna be another outswinger here. Last time 1:39:08.360 --> 1:39:10.240 she did this it led to a goal for Seattle. 1:39:10.600 --> 1:39:13.400 Will she go long to the top of the box again. 1:39:13.520 --> 1:39:17.000 There is Jordan Bug there she will go long. There 1:39:17.080 --> 1:39:20.519 is Mercado, There is Jordan Bug, There is mcclarnin, and 1:39:20.800 --> 1:39:24.000 another deflection there is across the face of goal from 1:39:24.040 --> 1:39:27.519 mclernan is out for another corner, this time from the 1:39:27.680 --> 1:39:31.599 near side the left for Seattle. Minty will be over 1:39:31.640 --> 1:39:33.880 it again here in the fifty fourth minute rain on 1:39:34.160 --> 1:39:36.439 top of Boston. They want this third goal. They want 1:39:36.479 --> 1:39:38.880 to put this away here early in the second half, 1:39:40.360 --> 1:39:44.120 and it will be Menty again on it. The Roosevelt 1:39:44.200 --> 1:39:46.800 High School alum. We'll see if she gets a secondary 1:39:46.880 --> 1:39:49.439 assist on that goal that came just a couple of 1:39:49.439 --> 1:39:51.960 minutes ago. This will be an in swinger here in 1:39:52.040 --> 1:39:55.800 the fifty fourth minute, steps back, comes forward, going along 1:39:55.920 --> 1:40:00.240 again headed away. That is a good header there from 1:40:00.320 --> 1:40:02.880 Carra Bally of Boston. But we'll stay with Seattle now 1:40:03.000 --> 1:40:06.519 throwing about five yards from the end line. Bug will 1:40:06.560 --> 1:40:06.880 let it go. 1:40:07.800 --> 1:40:11.280 You can feel the confidence. There's some indescribable things about soccer. 1:40:11.320 --> 1:40:13.679 It's one of my favorite things. And if you're watching 1:40:13.760 --> 1:40:15.880 this game, or if you're listening, maybe just the smiles 1:40:15.920 --> 1:40:17.840 on our faces that you can hear as we're talking, 1:40:18.280 --> 1:40:21.000 you can tell the team looks more confident and just 1:40:21.080 --> 1:40:22.760 within a minute, this is what a goal does. This 1:40:22.880 --> 1:40:25.200 is what a team who hasn't scored for games, just 1:40:25.280 --> 1:40:25.960 getting those few. 1:40:26.000 --> 1:40:28.120 It's what it does for them, and it will go 1:40:28.200 --> 1:40:29.160 out for I. 1:40:29.200 --> 1:40:32.160 Believe it's another Seattle corner here. The throwing came long, 1:40:33.320 --> 1:40:34.640 did well with it. I believe that was when the 1:40:34.720 --> 1:40:38.680 cammon did well with it in the box, forcing a 1:40:39.520 --> 1:40:42.240 Seattle corner. And Laurel Harvey likes what she is seeing. 1:40:43.400 --> 1:40:47.840 Have not seen her this. I think content with the 1:40:47.960 --> 1:40:50.479 situation is probably a good word for her facial expression 1:40:50.600 --> 1:40:53.479 right now. In quite a long time with Seattle leading 1:40:53.520 --> 1:40:57.320 to nothing, here's MENTI another outswinger from that far side, 1:40:58.200 --> 1:41:01.519 going long all the way too. But it's a good 1:41:01.720 --> 1:41:03.720 the foul called in the box. But it was a 1:41:03.840 --> 1:41:06.680 good read on a Boston defender to understand that. Now 1:41:06.720 --> 1:41:09.000 it's three times that mentis wanted to go along to 1:41:09.080 --> 1:41:11.680 Jordan Bug and this time a Boston defender will get 1:41:11.720 --> 1:41:12.920 in the way of that one. But a foul is 1:41:13.040 --> 1:41:15.320 called here. It's Seattle to nothing here in the fifty 1:41:15.320 --> 1:41:15.840 fifth minutes. 1:41:19.640 --> 1:41:21.400 Yeah, I'm not sure Laura Harvey would ever want you 1:41:21.479 --> 1:41:24.280 to call her content at the fifty fifty fifth minute. 1:41:24.360 --> 1:41:25.839 You know, she just doesn't look angry. 1:41:26.400 --> 1:41:28.280 I know, I totally agree with you, but she's gonna 1:41:28.280 --> 1:41:30.280 say I'm not content until this game is over. 1:41:30.360 --> 1:41:31.000 But I agree with you. 1:41:31.120 --> 1:41:34.519 I think she is is absolutely content with what she's 1:41:34.560 --> 1:41:36.479 seen because this is what she hoped for. It's exactly 1:41:36.520 --> 1:41:38.559 what she hoped for. When we talked about the game, 1:41:38.600 --> 1:41:40.000 there wasn't even a huge strategy. 1:41:40.040 --> 1:41:41.400 It was like, we just need something. 1:41:41.840 --> 1:41:44.160 Seattle is called for off side there a Tollyward on 1:41:44.240 --> 1:41:47.320 that right wing. She is offside on the pass there 1:41:47.360 --> 1:41:50.000 from Matti Dollen and Boston will have a free kick. 1:41:50.040 --> 1:41:52.960 As we get another look here of Matti Dollen's goal 1:41:53.040 --> 1:41:56.160 that came just a few minutes ago, and there's Laura Harvey. 1:41:56.400 --> 1:41:59.320 It is funny because you know, we've seen over these 1:41:59.400 --> 1:42:01.920 last five games where Seattle hasn't scored, we've seen a 1:42:02.160 --> 1:42:06.760 very angry and frustrated Laura Harvey. And to not see 1:42:06.760 --> 1:42:10.320 an angry and frustrated Laura Harvey is a nice Is 1:42:10.360 --> 1:42:12.360 a nice change of pace from the last few games. 1:42:12.680 --> 1:42:14.240 Yeah, it is. And you know, actually talking to her 1:42:14.320 --> 1:42:16.080 this week, one of my favorite things that she said, 1:42:16.160 --> 1:42:18.360 and we should mention, is that their mantra for the 1:42:18.439 --> 1:42:20.680 team is that we are the ones we are waiting for. 1:42:21.240 --> 1:42:23.720 And I think we're in that moment. She said this 1:42:23.840 --> 1:42:25.760 because the team is young. We've said it over and 1:42:25.840 --> 1:42:27.760 over again. You have young players in the squad. That's 1:42:27.920 --> 1:42:29.880 kind of like looking for someone else to lead them, 1:42:30.200 --> 1:42:33.080 and instead she's saying, no, it's it's right here, like 1:42:33.240 --> 1:42:35.519 you are what you're waiting for. And I think it's 1:42:35.560 --> 1:42:37.160 too early in the season to say that they're doing 1:42:37.240 --> 1:42:39.760 that consistently, but it's moments like this that she's going 1:42:39.840 --> 1:42:42.080 to point to and say, you guys dealt with game 1:42:42.160 --> 1:42:45.120 after game of not scoring and you figured it out 1:42:45.320 --> 1:42:47.280 and you can hold on to that and keep moving forward. 1:42:47.840 --> 1:42:50.160 Boston in possession. But it's now with Seattle with this 1:42:50.320 --> 1:42:53.960 press as Mercado and Dollen giving a little pressure to 1:42:54.000 --> 1:42:57.880 those Boston defenders here who have thirty four minutes down 1:42:57.920 --> 1:43:04.400 to nothing. Seattle leading here in Rhode Island. Casey Murphy 1:43:04.640 --> 1:43:06.759 goes trying to go along against a lot of pressure, 1:43:06.880 --> 1:43:09.960 but here is Curry on it, Curry getting in the way. 1:43:11.000 --> 1:43:13.000 Curry just had an assist trying to poke it forward 1:43:13.040 --> 1:43:14.840 to Mercado, Mrcado trying to get to the end of 1:43:14.880 --> 1:43:17.680 that one. A foul called. Boston will have a free 1:43:17.760 --> 1:43:20.479 kick from deep in their on half. But the pressure 1:43:20.520 --> 1:43:23.439 right now, kwame you feel Seattle picking up that pressure, 1:43:23.720 --> 1:43:25.800 and it's kind of reverse roles from the first half. 1:43:25.840 --> 1:43:28.879 It's Seattle with the high press, not letting Boston get comfortable, 1:43:29.080 --> 1:43:31.240 and right there on that free kick goes. 1:43:31.160 --> 1:43:33.799 Out for a Seattle throw in spoke that into existence. 1:43:33.920 --> 1:43:36.800 I mean, it comes with the confidence. Once one team 1:43:36.800 --> 1:43:39.920 gets confidence, it takes confidence away from the other team, 1:43:40.000 --> 1:43:42.560 and then every little bit of a mistake feels like 1:43:42.680 --> 1:43:45.320 extra added pressure. And so right now Boston's trying to 1:43:45.320 --> 1:43:48.360 play themselves out of that pressure and that mentality in 1:43:48.439 --> 1:43:50.640 the Yeah, right now, it seems like it's working in 1:43:50.720 --> 1:43:51.439 Seattle's favor. 1:43:51.880 --> 1:43:54.040 And here's Boston now working in possession and there on 1:43:54.040 --> 1:43:55.759 the end of the field, working with a lot of press. 1:43:56.040 --> 1:43:58.320 It's changed from Laura Harvey's working. It's a quick turnover, 1:43:58.600 --> 1:44:03.960 Seattle back with it, no opportunity for Boston to get 1:44:04.000 --> 1:44:07.400 comfortable at all right now. And this is the change 1:44:07.439 --> 1:44:09.280 we were wondering Laureal Harvey would make here in the 1:44:09.320 --> 1:44:11.479 second half. She has made it, and it is working 1:44:11.600 --> 1:44:14.439 so far. But here is now Seattle in possession, Boston 1:44:14.520 --> 1:44:17.320 with the press, high pressing from both teams. Right now, 1:44:17.800 --> 1:44:20.320 this is going to turn into a transition game. It's 1:44:20.400 --> 1:44:22.600 going to open up. And you'd love to see that 1:44:22.760 --> 1:44:25.560 third goal for Seattle that could effectively end it with 1:44:25.640 --> 1:44:28.280 thirty minutes to go. Foul called Boston now with a 1:44:28.280 --> 1:44:29.599 free kick in Seattle's end. 1:44:30.439 --> 1:44:32.839 Yeah, and I think we see a flurry of subs 1:44:33.040 --> 1:44:35.679 in the next you know, ten to fifteen minutes because 1:44:36.160 --> 1:44:38.280 both teams they're put like you said, they're pressing high. 1:44:38.280 --> 1:44:39.320 It's transition soccer. 1:44:39.680 --> 1:44:42.719 Two zero's you know, quote unquote the most dangerous score 1:44:43.240 --> 1:44:45.679 and so you're going to be looking for both coaches, 1:44:45.720 --> 1:44:47.639 both teams to be making at least, you know, get 1:44:47.640 --> 1:44:48.439 some fresh legs in there. 1:44:48.479 --> 1:44:49.600 Switch up the energy. 1:44:51.920 --> 1:44:54.439 Kick come as Boston. We'll control now on this right side, 1:44:54.880 --> 1:44:58.360 sending it to the forward. Here is Prince Prince working 1:44:58.439 --> 1:45:02.720 one on one now, trying to use an overlap. But 1:45:03.439 --> 1:45:07.799 some great defending there by Phoebe mcclernan, and that's shuffled 1:45:07.840 --> 1:45:11.280 out for I believe a goal kick coming here in 1:45:11.320 --> 1:45:13.920 the fifty ninth minute. Some good defending there is. We'll 1:45:13.960 --> 1:45:16.720 wait to see. I believe some subs may be on 1:45:16.840 --> 1:45:21.000 the way here. Actually, I wanted to make a note 1:45:21.040 --> 1:45:21.200 of that. 1:45:21.360 --> 1:45:24.560 The most interesting thing that just happened there was it 1:45:24.640 --> 1:45:27.200 looked like Podie was the one defending there, but our 1:45:27.439 --> 1:45:29.560 forward Mattie Mercado is the one who came all the 1:45:29.600 --> 1:45:33.280 way back to usher that out into the into a goalkick. 1:45:33.360 --> 1:45:36.720 And so that's incredible effort all the way from top 1:45:36.760 --> 1:45:39.720 to bottom. And so that's that's just a big, big, 1:45:40.160 --> 1:45:42.360 like you know, note to make there that the entire 1:45:42.439 --> 1:45:44.960 team for ninety minutes is putting there all into. 1:45:44.840 --> 1:45:49.000 Everything, player down to believe that's Maddie Dollen is down 1:45:49.160 --> 1:45:52.479 getting her lower right leg worked on by a trainer. 1:45:52.560 --> 1:45:54.840 Here in the sixtieth minute, we see the replay here 1:45:55.479 --> 1:46:00.120 Dollen just tripped up, looks like may have taken an 1:46:00.160 --> 1:46:06.599 awkward fall there here in too much pain is Mattie Doleen, 1:46:06.720 --> 1:46:11.439 but certainly is down and is in some here as 1:46:11.520 --> 1:46:13.639 this could be one of Seattle's changes. 1:46:15.840 --> 1:46:17.960 Yeah, it didn't look too bad there, but they definitely 1:46:18.000 --> 1:46:20.760 got tangled up and looks like she's kind of just 1:46:20.760 --> 1:46:22.720 getting urching guard on, ready to go again. 1:46:23.120 --> 1:46:25.080 No now leading to no. We've talked about the sub 1:46:25.600 --> 1:46:29.360 ideas and the sub potential strategy from Laura Harvey in 1:46:29.400 --> 1:46:33.839 a one nothing game. Stephanie Qualmy, how does the sub pattern, 1:46:34.000 --> 1:46:36.439 How does that idea change with a too nothing game? 1:46:36.520 --> 1:46:37.439 Or does it change it all? 1:46:37.880 --> 1:46:39.479 I don't think it changes it all. 1:46:39.560 --> 1:46:41.880 For Laura Harvey in this moment in the games that 1:46:41.920 --> 1:46:44.639 they're coming off of, I think she's going to push 1:46:44.960 --> 1:46:47.080 for CoCom onduce here and for others to still come 1:46:47.120 --> 1:46:48.880 on and change the energy here because I think she 1:46:49.080 --> 1:46:52.320 knows if they get another goal that is exactly what 1:46:52.479 --> 1:46:54.519 this team needs right now, and so she wants to 1:46:54.560 --> 1:46:57.000 bring the energy regardless if it's you know, adding a 1:46:57.080 --> 1:46:59.439 third goal, or if it was adding a second, that's 1:46:59.439 --> 1:47:00.120 what she's looking for. 1:47:00.320 --> 1:47:00.920 She needs more. 1:47:01.760 --> 1:47:05.400 Yeah, yeah, I mean so, statistically speaking, the two zero 1:47:05.560 --> 1:47:09.000 lead is the most dangerous lead in the game of football, 1:47:09.080 --> 1:47:11.280 because soccer is a game. It's a game of momentum, 1:47:11.600 --> 1:47:13.800 and so once you get up that high and you're 1:47:13.920 --> 1:47:15.800 mentally you feel like, hey, you have the momentum, and 1:47:15.880 --> 1:47:17.560 so it kind of puts you on your heels and 1:47:17.640 --> 1:47:18.080 if one. 1:47:18.040 --> 1:47:20.040 Goal gets scored, it could change the whole game. 1:47:20.080 --> 1:47:22.320 And so you want to pretend that two zero lead 1:47:22.560 --> 1:47:24.560 is a one zero lead and you still want to 1:47:24.680 --> 1:47:25.759 go score more goals. 1:47:26.200 --> 1:47:29.080 Boston in possession on that left side, but merely giving 1:47:29.120 --> 1:47:33.160 it away here as Maddie Dalen back onto the field. 1:47:33.280 --> 1:47:35.840 She came off the field for they required a couple 1:47:35.880 --> 1:47:38.560 of minutes, and then is now back on after a 1:47:38.680 --> 1:47:40.600 high five from Laura Harvey. I thought that might have 1:47:40.680 --> 1:47:42.760 been the sign that she was coming out of this game. 1:47:42.800 --> 1:47:44.679 But she is back on now and has the ball 1:47:44.960 --> 1:47:48.920 at her feet on this left wing with Madison Curry underneath, 1:47:49.760 --> 1:47:53.080 all the way back to their center backs mcclernan bug 1:47:54.280 --> 1:47:59.600 and on the right side Sofia Huertsa out of the 1:47:59.600 --> 1:48:01.479 foot of my canon in the middle of the park, 1:48:01.560 --> 1:48:05.160 working on against some Boston pressure. Here clock ticking away 1:48:06.240 --> 1:48:08.320 Seattle with a two to nothing lead and eleventh minute 1:48:08.360 --> 1:48:12.160 penalty kick from Puerta, and just about ten minutes ago 1:48:12.400 --> 1:48:14.560 fifty first minute goal from Mattie dall Lean on the 1:48:14.640 --> 1:48:19.240 cross from Madison Curry. Doubling Seattle's lead and keeping this 1:48:19.400 --> 1:48:23.120 clean sheet for Claudia Dicky would be massive here on 1:48:23.240 --> 1:48:25.519 the road. This is a big road trip for Seattle 1:48:26.439 --> 1:48:30.320 after five games without a win. They now go on 1:48:30.439 --> 1:48:33.439 the road for this game in Rhode Island against Boston Legacy, 1:48:33.520 --> 1:48:37.839 and then next Saturday, on Tomorrow, a week from tomorrow, 1:48:38.120 --> 1:48:41.200 they will play at the Washington Spirit. We will have 1:48:41.320 --> 1:48:43.320 that game for you as well right here on sports 1:48:43.400 --> 1:48:48.280 Radio nine to fifty km a week from tomorrow. Rain 1:48:48.400 --> 1:48:52.200 at Spirit, a Spirit team that just beat Rain actually 1:48:52.240 --> 1:48:54.720 at Luminfield a couple weeks ago by a score of 1:48:54.800 --> 1:48:58.439 one to nothing in a game where Seattle actually outplayed Washington, 1:48:59.320 --> 1:49:02.200 but a late goal for the Spirit gave them that win. 1:49:04.439 --> 1:49:06.080 And now here all the Rain trying to get their 1:49:06.120 --> 1:49:09.400 own win on the East Coast in this East Coast 1:49:09.479 --> 1:49:12.280 road swing where they will play at Boston and then 1:49:12.760 --> 1:49:17.200 stay on the East Coast and play Washington again in 1:49:17.400 --> 1:49:20.880 just over a week. Sixty fourth minute here, rain leading 1:49:20.920 --> 1:49:23.880 to nothing. Boston haven't in possession on this left side, 1:49:25.000 --> 1:49:27.640 but a good takeaway there. There's Collie Ward getting in 1:49:27.680 --> 1:49:29.960 the way of that one, earning a Seattle throw in. 1:49:30.120 --> 1:49:34.240 Now that's the physicality. We talk so much about Boston's physicality. 1:49:34.760 --> 1:49:37.320 There's some great physicality there from Holly Ward stepping up 1:49:37.720 --> 1:49:39.240 and getting the ball back for Seattle. 1:49:39.520 --> 1:49:41.479 Yeah, and I expect just to see it a little 1:49:41.520 --> 1:49:44.599 bit more, you know, like we said, as players get tired, 1:49:44.680 --> 1:49:46.400 as this game wears on, that's when you start to 1:49:46.439 --> 1:49:49.680 see some of those fouls in that physicality. And you know, 1:49:50.040 --> 1:49:52.479 like you said, I mean, the momentum shifts of this 1:49:52.560 --> 1:49:54.360 game have been huge at moments, and I think this 1:49:54.520 --> 1:49:56.320 last five minutes was a little bit of a lull 1:49:57.280 --> 1:49:59.920 where where both teams were actually combining in the midfield, 1:50:00.000 --> 1:50:01.960 which we haven't seen too much. And you know, I 1:50:02.000 --> 1:50:03.519 think we're about to see some subs that it might 1:50:03.680 --> 1:50:04.439 might change that up. 1:50:05.160 --> 1:50:08.000 So what we're gonna see right now is a massive 1:50:08.120 --> 1:50:14.120 change for Boston and the players coming on are Lace Arujo, 1:50:14.560 --> 1:50:18.800 Nikki Hernandez. Those are two defenders, midfielders, and then Amanda 1:50:18.880 --> 1:50:21.680 Gutierrez is now on the field for Boston. That is 1:50:21.720 --> 1:50:23.639 a name we're probably gonna say a few times here 1:50:23.920 --> 1:50:26.400 in the remaining twenty six games. In twenty six minutes. 1:50:26.680 --> 1:50:29.679 Amanda Gutierres is a twenty two year old Brazilian forward. 1:50:30.240 --> 1:50:32.840 She recently played with Paul Miras in Brazil, where she 1:50:32.920 --> 1:50:35.840 scored and you're gonna hear this stat correctly. I'm not 1:50:35.960 --> 1:50:40.120 making it up. Sixty one goals in sixty seven games, 1:50:40.600 --> 1:50:43.320 almost a goal of game. Playing in Brazil and then 1:50:43.439 --> 1:50:47.519 for the Brazilian national team. At the national level, she 1:50:47.720 --> 1:50:53.880 has nine goals in twelve games thirteen games. Nine goals 1:50:54.240 --> 1:50:58.240 in thirteen games for the Brazilian national team. This is 1:50:58.280 --> 1:51:01.760 an outstanding striker that can change the whole makeup of 1:51:01.840 --> 1:51:02.280 this game. 1:51:02.560 --> 1:51:03.160 Absolutely. 1:51:03.280 --> 1:51:05.400 I mean, you see those stats and if you're a 1:51:05.479 --> 1:51:07.080 rain fan, I think we joked about it at halftime, 1:51:07.080 --> 1:51:08.760 We're like, can we just please don't put her in 1:51:08.800 --> 1:51:09.080 the game. 1:51:09.200 --> 1:51:10.960 Can you just keep her out for her a little 1:51:10.960 --> 1:51:11.360 bit longer? 1:51:11.400 --> 1:51:11.560 You know? 1:51:11.680 --> 1:51:14.920 She clearly, I mean, she's very, very crafty she's a 1:51:14.960 --> 1:51:16.800 skilled player. A lot of people talk to her as 1:51:16.920 --> 1:51:19.240 just someone that is very comfortable on the ball and 1:51:19.320 --> 1:51:21.360 has a lot of skills at her to put disposal. 1:51:21.680 --> 1:51:25.160 So again, this changes Laura Harvey's strategy slightly and that 1:51:25.479 --> 1:51:28.040 the back line absolutely knows who just came. 1:51:27.920 --> 1:51:28.439 Into the game. 1:51:29.800 --> 1:51:33.200 And now here is Boston with possession on this right 1:51:33.360 --> 1:51:38.439 side as they bring some additional players on, We'll see 1:51:38.800 --> 1:51:43.360 how Laura Harvey will combat those changes here in the 1:51:43.439 --> 1:51:47.360 sixty sixth minute. No changes yet so far for Seattle. 1:51:48.560 --> 1:51:50.840 In Boston with three subs at this stage. I mean, 1:51:51.200 --> 1:51:52.400 you know, we kind of said it that we thought 1:51:52.439 --> 1:51:54.320 there was going to be a flurry because they play 1:51:54.520 --> 1:51:58.160 a fast paced, high demanding type of soccer. They're pressing, 1:51:58.560 --> 1:52:01.200 they're covering a lot of ground and so besides the 1:52:01.240 --> 1:52:03.200 fact that they're down to zero and need some energy, 1:52:03.360 --> 1:52:04.719 they also play hard. 1:52:05.680 --> 1:52:07.880 And Boston taking it away a chance to break quickly 1:52:07.960 --> 1:52:11.880 here working on this left side, trying to move fast 1:52:13.880 --> 1:52:16.400 through the middle of the park. Now here's de gudieras 1:52:17.280 --> 1:52:19.920 in the middle of the field. She's dropping back but 1:52:20.120 --> 1:52:23.680 can quickly get forward and get involved. Now to this 1:52:23.880 --> 1:52:26.400 right side for Prince, but a great job by Madison 1:52:26.439 --> 1:52:28.320 Curry to hit that one out for a throw in. 1:52:28.840 --> 1:52:31.280 Boston will have to work quickly on this right side 1:52:31.320 --> 1:52:34.479 down to nothing. Twenty four minutes to go. Here's Prince 1:52:36.320 --> 1:52:39.760 coming up against Seattle's right side defenders and some good 1:52:39.800 --> 1:52:42.439 defending there. That's James Turner getting in the way of 1:52:42.479 --> 1:52:47.439 that one. And now back to has she's working up 1:52:47.720 --> 1:52:51.840 this left side ball going all the way forward Mercado, 1:52:52.200 --> 1:52:54.760 Mercado one on one with the goalkeeper shot and it's 1:52:54.760 --> 1:52:57.040 a good save there from Casey Murphy, but it is 1:52:57.200 --> 1:53:00.400 called offside. Was wondering if Mandy Mercado was off there 1:53:00.800 --> 1:53:03.719 on that ball all the way up from James Turner, 1:53:03.800 --> 1:53:07.519 and she was indeed off and Jesus breather on that one. 1:53:07.800 --> 1:53:08.160 She was. 1:53:08.240 --> 1:53:09.800 But she did a great job to get around her 1:53:09.840 --> 1:53:11.760 to offender her and actually had a great ball in 1:53:12.439 --> 1:53:15.040 and just really can get on the back shoulder of 1:53:15.120 --> 1:53:16.920 that defender and take a touch towards goal. 1:53:17.200 --> 1:53:18.639 You know, it's a hard angle. 1:53:18.720 --> 1:53:21.240 She's pretty far out wide and so she's not able 1:53:21.280 --> 1:53:23.200 to actually get it all the way across Casey Murphy 1:53:23.280 --> 1:53:25.120 like she wants to. She's trying to play it under 1:53:25.160 --> 1:53:27.679 her in that near post. But we're seeing some stuff 1:53:27.720 --> 1:53:29.519 from the rain that that you know, Kwamea and I 1:53:29.600 --> 1:53:31.760 actually were standing here cheering a little bit because they're 1:53:31.760 --> 1:53:34.840 playing through the thirds. Their midfielders are turning and that's 1:53:34.880 --> 1:53:37.080 where this play is coming from. And so again Maddie 1:53:37.120 --> 1:53:39.760 Mercado was one of those players that Laura Harvey picked 1:53:39.760 --> 1:53:42.160 out and said she creates chances, maybe the most chances 1:53:42.200 --> 1:53:44.320 actually on the team, and we're seeing that there. But 1:53:44.400 --> 1:53:47.040 it comes when those midfielders are willing to progress the 1:53:47.080 --> 1:53:47.639 ball forward. 1:53:48.520 --> 1:53:50.840 And now Boston having a possession on this left side 1:53:52.479 --> 1:53:56.439 after they made a couple changes to the both their 1:53:57.040 --> 1:54:00.840 back line midfield and then getting Gudieera's up top, we'll 1:54:00.840 --> 1:54:03.760 see if that can produce here. Now onto the right 1:54:04.920 --> 1:54:07.920 for Carl Bally, wring to head of forward for Prince. 1:54:08.520 --> 1:54:10.320 Good job by James Turner getting in the way of 1:54:10.360 --> 1:54:13.519 that one, smucking up those waters. But Boston finds some 1:54:13.640 --> 1:54:15.960 space now here on the left side, chance to cross 1:54:16.000 --> 1:54:19.400 it in for Smith head it away. There is mcclernan 1:54:19.400 --> 1:54:22.120 getting in the way of that one, but it'll stay 1:54:22.200 --> 1:54:26.120 with Boston. Now on the right side, Carl Bally, chance 1:54:26.200 --> 1:54:28.080 to cross it in takes it aflection. Good job by 1:54:28.160 --> 1:54:29.840 Madison Curry to get in the way of that cross. 1:54:29.880 --> 1:54:32.120 It will stay with Boston on this near side the 1:54:32.200 --> 1:54:32.960 right for a throw in. 1:54:33.680 --> 1:54:38.080 And that was some incredible footwork. That is footwork that 1:54:38.240 --> 1:54:40.840 you wish you could do on the field, and we'd 1:54:40.880 --> 1:54:43.400 all practice in our backyards and do when we don't 1:54:43.400 --> 1:54:46.640 have anyone pressing us. But man, that was some crafty footwork. 1:54:47.720 --> 1:54:50.640 And it will go. A free kick now coming for 1:54:51.360 --> 1:54:54.360 Boston in Seattle's end of the field. We're twenty two 1:54:54.440 --> 1:54:58.360 minutes away from stoppage time here in the second half, 1:54:58.440 --> 1:55:04.280 Seattle leading to nothing. Free kick will come from all 1:55:04.320 --> 1:55:07.520 the way at the back here from albut Cano, about 1:55:09.440 --> 1:55:17.600 thirty five yards from the end line, right hand raised. 1:55:19.280 --> 1:55:21.840 Now send it towards the middle of the park, going short, 1:55:22.000 --> 1:55:25.400 now across towards the back post, headed up. Triori heads 1:55:25.400 --> 1:55:29.400 it up right into the arms of Claudia Dickie. Easy 1:55:29.560 --> 1:55:32.640 save there for Claudia Dickie, who, by the way, with 1:55:33.400 --> 1:55:36.600 the save has hit two hundred saves in her career. 1:55:36.720 --> 1:55:42.600 By the way, congratulations to Claudia Dickie. A big milestone 1:55:42.800 --> 1:55:45.040 for the Seattle reign in the United States. Women's national 1:55:45.120 --> 1:55:48.320 team starting goalkeeper Boston still with it on this right side. 1:55:48.560 --> 1:55:50.920 Claudia may need to make a few more tonight to 1:55:51.000 --> 1:55:54.840 secure this win for Seattle, as they will clear that 1:55:54.920 --> 1:55:58.000 away takes a deflection, it will be a Seattle throwing 1:55:58.480 --> 1:56:03.280 from this near side the left twenty minutes and will 1:56:03.360 --> 1:56:06.760 wonder if this will be the first changes from Laura Harvey. 1:56:06.880 --> 1:56:11.600 It will we see three changes from Laura Harvey, Me Official, Coco, Monasir, 1:56:11.680 --> 1:56:14.920 Emily Mason all coming onto the field now for the 1:56:14.960 --> 1:56:16.640 Seattle rain here in the seventieth minute. 1:56:17.160 --> 1:56:19.120 And I think this is exactly what we thought Laura 1:56:19.200 --> 1:56:21.600 Harvey might do. It's just do not pull up, do 1:56:21.800 --> 1:56:24.200 not rest on the fact that you're up two goals. Nope, 1:56:24.240 --> 1:56:26.040 We're gonna put Coco in. We're going to put me 1:56:26.120 --> 1:56:28.640 Official in. We're going to see how much we can 1:56:28.720 --> 1:56:31.440 press and if we can get two even three more goals, 1:56:31.480 --> 1:56:32.960 you know, before the end of this game's over. I 1:56:33.000 --> 1:56:35.240 think she wants this team to believe in themselves and 1:56:35.360 --> 1:56:37.840 she wants more people to have the opportunity to have 1:56:38.000 --> 1:56:39.000 chances to put. 1:56:38.880 --> 1:56:39.520 A goal on the board. 1:56:40.480 --> 1:56:42.480 So it be Sally Mente coming out of this game 1:56:42.560 --> 1:56:46.400 Jordan Bug coming out of this game. As we now 1:56:46.480 --> 1:56:49.440 see Emily Mason. It's a straight swap at center back 1:56:50.280 --> 1:56:54.720 me official as well. Onto this game, we'll see who 1:56:54.880 --> 1:56:56.960 is the final player that came out for Seattle here 1:56:58.040 --> 1:57:00.480 for those final changes. As Boston try to work into 1:57:00.520 --> 1:57:01.680 the box, we'll get to that in a moment. The 1:57:01.760 --> 1:57:04.040 right side, Prince Chance across it in, goes towards the 1:57:04.040 --> 1:57:06.600 middle of the box, headed away nicely by McCammon. Stays 1:57:06.600 --> 1:57:09.560 with Boston on the left side now working against a 1:57:09.560 --> 1:57:12.520 couple of defenders crossing it in, headed away again, and 1:57:12.640 --> 1:57:15.360 it's this time Mason getting it away of that one. 1:57:15.880 --> 1:57:18.120 Hoyer to Clant can't clear it though, it will stay 1:57:18.400 --> 1:57:21.000 with the legacy on that left side. Mandas here getting 1:57:21.000 --> 1:57:22.440 in the way of that one is trying to muck 1:57:22.520 --> 1:57:25.480 up these waters and not let anything clean happen. But 1:57:25.640 --> 1:57:29.960 it's out for a throw in for Boston. Cross into 1:57:30.000 --> 1:57:33.080 the box quickly takes a deflection, still with the legacy, 1:57:33.480 --> 1:57:35.280 Lots of green shirts around the ball, but it's some 1:57:35.400 --> 1:57:37.920 good pressure from Seattle. Now they switch the point of 1:57:37.920 --> 1:57:40.280 attack onto the right side. Carl Bally chance to cross 1:57:40.360 --> 1:57:44.400 backpost headed up into the arms of Claudia Dicky and 1:57:44.680 --> 1:57:46.760 now a moment for Seattle to breathe here in the 1:57:46.800 --> 1:57:48.760 seventy second minute, Yeah, two. 1:57:48.680 --> 1:57:51.440 Hundred and one says, and you're right, it's a it's 1:57:51.480 --> 1:57:53.680 a big stat for Claudia Dickie, especially as such a 1:57:53.760 --> 1:57:56.680 young keeper. And it's in games like this, in moments 1:57:56.760 --> 1:57:58.480 like this where you're you're really glad that you have 1:57:58.640 --> 1:58:01.000 her because she's so strong coming out of the goal, 1:58:01.120 --> 1:58:03.880 and like we've said, it's a dangerous score line. Boston 1:58:04.040 --> 1:58:06.760 clearly is not taking their foot off the pedal, and 1:58:06.880 --> 1:58:09.360 so you know, they've had well, i'd say three or 1:58:09.400 --> 1:58:12.320 four chances in these last ten minutes, and so they 1:58:12.400 --> 1:58:14.240 really got to lock in. I know they've had some 1:58:14.720 --> 1:58:18.240 attacking subs, but making sure that Dicky and everyone in 1:58:18.280 --> 1:58:20.600 that back line is staying tuned in is really important 1:58:20.600 --> 1:58:21.600 to see this game out. 1:58:22.000 --> 1:58:26.480 Boston with a possession on their right side. I believe 1:58:26.480 --> 1:58:31.200 it was Holly Ward who also came out for Seattle. Yea, 1:58:31.280 --> 1:58:35.000 Holly Ward was the other substitute, as Coco Monassey is 1:58:35.000 --> 1:58:37.600 on that left wing. The official up top Mattie Mercado 1:58:37.680 --> 1:58:41.080 shifts to the central attacking midfielder the ten as Sally 1:58:41.200 --> 1:58:44.200 Menti has exited. So those are the three Seattle changes 1:58:44.280 --> 1:58:48.440 here as they lead to nothing. Here with eighteen minutes 1:58:49.160 --> 1:58:52.480 left to go of the ninety now Seattle attacking with 1:58:52.680 --> 1:58:56.680 some space. Chance off to the left for Dallen Dallien. 1:58:56.800 --> 1:59:00.840 Great last ditch defending there from Carl Ball, the center 1:59:00.960 --> 1:59:04.080 back for Boston at that far a post nearly got 1:59:04.120 --> 1:59:06.360 to the foot of Maddie Dollen. That was a big 1:59:06.440 --> 1:59:09.400 chance for Seattle and Boston saved themselves from being down 1:59:09.440 --> 1:59:09.960 three to nothing. 1:59:10.240 --> 1:59:11.080 Yeah, that was huge. 1:59:11.160 --> 1:59:13.080 I mean, just really slides and is able to poke 1:59:13.120 --> 1:59:14.880 it away at the last second. I think it was 1:59:14.920 --> 1:59:17.120 Matti Mercado kind of charging up the middle and was 1:59:17.160 --> 1:59:19.600 able to dish it off there. And again she's just 1:59:19.680 --> 1:59:21.880 a great player that can create chances for the rain. 1:59:21.960 --> 1:59:22.120 Here. 1:59:22.560 --> 1:59:25.320 This Coco Monasse here to take this corner kick in 1:59:25.400 --> 1:59:28.520 the seventy fourth minute, it'll be an in swinger going 1:59:28.560 --> 1:59:31.280 to the front of the box, bounces back out to 1:59:31.360 --> 1:59:35.200 Juera Juertza putting in the ball all the way towards goal. 1:59:35.360 --> 1:59:37.760 Was hoping that would be a body there towards the 1:59:37.840 --> 1:59:40.920 near post not doing I mean it, we'll go out 1:59:40.960 --> 1:59:44.600 for a goal. Kick for Casey Murphy and Boston have 1:59:44.680 --> 1:59:46.600 to work quickly here. They have to open up. They 1:59:46.680 --> 1:59:50.160 have to find two goals in sixteen minutes. But it's 1:59:50.200 --> 1:59:53.000 a quick giveaway for the Rain. Can they work fast 1:59:53.040 --> 1:59:56.840 with James Turner? She will go slow, she will send 1:59:56.920 --> 2:00:01.960 it back to Huerta, And you wonder also leading to 2:00:02.160 --> 2:00:06.360 nothing if and when time and you just take your time, 2:00:06.480 --> 2:00:09.040 you go to maybe not the corner yet, but you know, 2:00:09.160 --> 2:00:12.160 instead of progressing in that attack quickly in transition, you 2:00:12.280 --> 2:00:14.080 play it back to where to take a couple of 2:00:14.080 --> 2:00:17.320 minutes off the clock, get fouled and you had a 2:00:17.360 --> 2:00:19.960 free kick coming in Boston's end for the Rain here 2:00:20.480 --> 2:00:22.640 with fifteen sixteen minutes to play, it's. 2:00:22.560 --> 2:00:24.800 Like gentle time management at this point. I think if 2:00:24.800 --> 2:00:26.120 they were going to the corner, I would be a 2:00:26.160 --> 2:00:28.960 little worried. It's too long to go to the corner. 2:00:29.520 --> 2:00:30.680 What is this sixteen minutes? 2:00:30.760 --> 2:00:33.000 So yeah, well, you know they'll take their time when 2:00:33.000 --> 2:00:34.480 they have throw ins and when they have kicks, but 2:00:35.000 --> 2:00:36.440 definitely not to that corner yet. 2:00:36.480 --> 2:00:37.920 But eventually I do think they'll get there. 2:00:37.960 --> 2:00:42.280 With this pressure and the speediness and aggressiveness that Boston has. 2:00:42.400 --> 2:00:44.800 Free kick for Sophia Horitz sending it into the box 2:00:45.240 --> 2:00:48.240 going towards a head. It gets to Emily Mason's head, 2:00:48.600 --> 2:00:50.800 but not enough on that head or I think it 2:00:50.880 --> 2:00:52.240 might have been a kind of a more of a 2:00:52.680 --> 2:00:55.640 cushion head or to cross it to somebody, but it 2:00:55.720 --> 2:00:57.800 goes right to the goalkeeper Casey Murphy, and she will 2:00:57.840 --> 2:01:01.880 work quickly for Boston. Here's me Official with some heavy 2:01:02.000 --> 2:01:07.080 press here, not letting much time on any of these defenders. 2:01:08.480 --> 2:01:11.520 Boston have to work quickly. They're dealing with very good 2:01:11.600 --> 2:01:16.800 pressure from Seattle tonight, and that slips on through all 2:01:16.840 --> 2:01:19.040 the way to a Seattle defender Boston trying to find 2:01:20.640 --> 2:01:24.600 all the way up to Triore. Interestingly, Gudiera is kind 2:01:24.600 --> 2:01:28.000 of playing under Triore in that attack for Boston has 2:01:28.080 --> 2:01:33.000 not been overly involved just yet. The massive Brazilian talent 2:01:33.400 --> 2:01:36.640 for this Boston team. And now here's a counter attack. 2:01:36.720 --> 2:01:40.160 Can Maddie get to that one? Do Len working against Caralbali, 2:01:40.240 --> 2:01:43.640 But it's all the way back to her keeper. Now 2:01:43.680 --> 2:01:47.880 Official with presser on the Boston center back and they 2:01:47.960 --> 2:01:51.400 get out of it. More pressure coming. They force a 2:01:51.560 --> 2:01:54.640 Boston throw in. Seattle doing well right now to not 2:01:55.000 --> 2:01:58.160 give Boston any time, even in their own end of 2:01:58.160 --> 2:01:58.880 the field. Kwame. 2:02:00.000 --> 2:02:02.680 I mean you see the pressure on both sides right now. 2:02:02.920 --> 2:02:04.760 It becomes a matter of who can seal the game, 2:02:04.800 --> 2:02:07.400 who can get back into it. So everyone is putting 2:02:07.480 --> 2:02:09.480 in every bit of effort. They're making sure that that 2:02:09.680 --> 2:02:13.600 last second, that last step, that last move really really counts. 2:02:14.640 --> 2:02:17.640 Boston going along here trying to find Troy already headed away. 2:02:18.000 --> 2:02:20.120 They play there by Mason, Boston picks it up here, 2:02:20.160 --> 2:02:24.080 here's Gudieras. Gudierras has help the middle of the field. 2:02:25.320 --> 2:02:30.520 Have not too many green jerseys up the field into 2:02:30.560 --> 2:02:32.600 the final third of the park, A lot of blue 2:02:32.640 --> 2:02:35.480 shirts for Seattle or back now onto this right wing 2:02:36.360 --> 2:02:38.839 our Bally, but a good defending there from Maddy Dollen 2:02:39.400 --> 2:02:40.240 on that side. 2:02:43.640 --> 2:02:45.600 Yeah, and you can tell there's definitely an urgency with 2:02:45.720 --> 2:02:47.600 Boston right now. It makes sense you're down to zero, 2:02:47.680 --> 2:02:50.520 you put some new subs in. But like you were saying, Jackson, 2:02:50.600 --> 2:02:53.320 I mean, we are seeing some great pressure, some box 2:02:53.400 --> 2:02:55.960 to box defending from the Seattle rain and that is 2:02:56.040 --> 2:02:59.800 what goals give you confidence to actually play the game 2:03:00.000 --> 2:03:01.680 and see it out and to put that extra effort 2:03:01.720 --> 2:03:04.280 in and so it's really great to see the rain 2:03:04.400 --> 2:03:07.360 like ME Official coming in Maddy Dahleen, playing a whole 2:03:07.400 --> 2:03:09.240 game and still putting pressure on them the way that 2:03:09.280 --> 2:03:11.120 they are. That's what you want to see when you're 2:03:11.160 --> 2:03:12.440 in games at this stage. 2:03:12.320 --> 2:03:14.160 And Seattle's able to clear that one all the way 2:03:14.200 --> 2:03:16.800 back out to Boston's own end, but Me Official keeping 2:03:16.840 --> 2:03:19.560 that pressure up as you talk about here, clock hits 2:03:19.640 --> 2:03:22.120 seventy seven to thirteen minutes of the ninety left to go. 2:03:22.800 --> 2:03:26.120 Seattle looking for their first win in a while, a 2:03:26.200 --> 2:03:29.280 team that opened up the season with a win in Orlando, 2:03:29.360 --> 2:03:32.000 where they ended their run in twenty twenty five. In 2:03:32.040 --> 2:03:36.000 the playoffs, they lost to Parland, then went to Spokane 2:03:36.040 --> 2:03:38.920 where they got big results a win over Kansas City, 2:03:39.040 --> 2:03:44.080 the former Shield winners went over Louisville. Since then five 2:03:44.160 --> 2:03:48.760 games without a goal. They drew against Denver, lost to Utah, 2:03:49.160 --> 2:03:53.600 draw Houston, lost to Washington, and then one week ago 2:03:54.200 --> 2:04:00.240 losing at Lumenfield to Gotham FC. Five straight without get 2:04:00.280 --> 2:04:02.600 two goals tonight and are looking for their first win 2:04:03.560 --> 2:04:08.320 since that Louisville game couple months ago. Where Boston will 2:04:08.400 --> 2:04:10.520 throw a lot of numbers forward here in the final 2:04:10.640 --> 2:04:14.640 twelve plus stoppage throw in coming for the legacy. 2:04:19.560 --> 2:04:21.920 Yeah, I'm talking about this this East Coast trip too. 2:04:22.040 --> 2:04:24.680 I mean, you know, they're lucky that they're able to 2:04:24.760 --> 2:04:26.440 kind of get out there, like you said, stay on 2:04:26.560 --> 2:04:29.360 their time zone, you know, keep kind of an even 2:04:29.720 --> 2:04:32.080 rough air work into this game, and then to also 2:04:32.160 --> 2:04:32.840 get settled there. 2:04:32.880 --> 2:04:33.720 But before they take on. 2:04:33.760 --> 2:04:36.800 Their next opponent, a yellow card coming right now to 2:04:36.840 --> 2:04:41.160 Madison Curry. Wonder if that's one of those tactical good 2:04:41.280 --> 2:04:43.800 yellows where you just don't want to let Alba Cano 2:04:44.240 --> 2:04:47.240 get too far down that right wing without anybody on her. 2:04:47.480 --> 2:04:51.320 So Madison Curry takes the yellow card to halt Boston's attack, 2:04:51.360 --> 2:04:53.520 and a free kick will come from just inside of 2:04:53.560 --> 2:04:58.440 Seattle's half. And here is Canoe over the ball looking 2:04:58.480 --> 2:05:01.680 to go along with this kick here or from just 2:05:01.920 --> 2:05:06.200 right next to the side, right next to Laura Harvey. 2:05:06.920 --> 2:05:10.480 We'll send it very long, headed away good head or 2:05:10.480 --> 2:05:12.920 there by mcclernan headed again by Boston and he goes 2:05:13.120 --> 2:05:16.680 just wide. Mcclernan headed it up and headed it to 2:05:17.240 --> 2:05:21.440 just a Boston defender who could not redirect that on frame. 2:05:22.600 --> 2:05:24.080 Yeah, and you have to be careful because a little 2:05:24.120 --> 2:05:27.160 taste of success here for Boston. You know, they're getting some, 2:05:27.560 --> 2:05:30.600 like we said, more chances. That wasn't exactly on frame, 2:05:30.720 --> 2:05:33.720 but they're dangerous. You feel like they're still in this game. 2:05:33.800 --> 2:05:36.160 And so even though there's only you know, ten minutes 2:05:36.400 --> 2:05:39.920 or so, with maybe some stoppage time, I think the feeling. 2:05:39.760 --> 2:05:40.680 Is that they're still in it. 2:05:40.800 --> 2:05:43.360 And so the worry here is if you get one, 2:05:43.480 --> 2:05:46.879 then it's kind of emergency, lock the game down. Defending 2:05:47.600 --> 2:05:49.320 the rain really don't want to go into that mode. 2:05:49.480 --> 2:05:52.520 They certainly do not, but they have the ball at 2:05:52.520 --> 2:05:57.120 the feet of Turner. Now to Mandasier Montasyr dragged back. 2:05:57.200 --> 2:05:57.920 No foul called. 2:05:58.200 --> 2:06:01.440 Nowady is a foul called, and Seattle will have a 2:06:01.480 --> 2:06:04.600 free kick just inside of Boston's half. You wonder if 2:06:04.640 --> 2:06:07.680 any other subs coming. Both teams made triple changes. Boston 2:06:07.760 --> 2:06:12.000 made their big triple change first, Seattle and Laura Harvey 2:06:12.240 --> 2:06:18.800 resaliated with a big double offensive change of me Official 2:06:18.840 --> 2:06:21.880 and Coco Mondasre. A straight swap at center back with 2:06:21.960 --> 2:06:25.640 Emily Mason and Jordan bug who had a great day defending. 2:06:26.800 --> 2:06:29.280 Now here's to Mondasere onto this right wing. Can she 2:06:29.360 --> 2:06:32.720 get to the end of that when she is dragged down, 2:06:32.960 --> 2:06:36.800 no foul call. They ruled off side. Now, Coco Mantas, 2:06:36.840 --> 2:06:39.560 You're ruled off side on that great ball there towards 2:06:39.600 --> 2:06:42.040 that prime of Cist zone on the right side. But 2:06:42.160 --> 2:06:45.320 that is also very good defending there by Nicki Hernandez. 2:06:45.320 --> 2:06:46.240 They're their left back. 2:06:46.720 --> 2:06:49.680 Yeah, excellent defending when you're going up against an incredibly 2:06:49.800 --> 2:06:52.120 fast player like Coco Mondessar who could just get around 2:06:52.160 --> 2:06:54.520 the edge of her defenders so easily. And you know, 2:06:54.640 --> 2:06:56.960 I love it when when a fast player like like 2:06:57.120 --> 2:07:00.440 Coco goes down, you know, for an offside call, and 2:07:00.520 --> 2:07:03.120 she's just in disbelief and she's like, no, I'm just 2:07:03.240 --> 2:07:06.120 so fast. It's just that I'm so fast. You didn't 2:07:06.120 --> 2:07:07.680 even see me. I was on side and I was 2:07:07.760 --> 2:07:09.920 so fast. But she gets called there. 2:07:10.440 --> 2:07:14.920 Boston making another change here Alea Gambon a forward coming 2:07:14.960 --> 2:07:18.720 out of the field now for one of their center backs, 2:07:18.800 --> 2:07:23.160 Jordan Clara Balilara Bali has been part of so many 2:07:23.240 --> 2:07:25.480 attacks and she just had that header that went off 2:07:25.520 --> 2:07:28.480 frame a few minutes ago. She exits this game. Is 2:07:28.560 --> 2:07:32.640 Boston throwing another number forward? Can Seattle break those numbers 2:07:32.680 --> 2:07:35.600 and get a third decisive goal that just will put 2:07:35.680 --> 2:07:39.120 this game within no doubt. 2:07:40.040 --> 2:07:42.640 I mean that's a pretty aggressive move to bring in 2:07:42.760 --> 2:07:45.560 that extra forward there. I think that's a clear sign 2:07:46.040 --> 2:07:48.680 from Patao that this game is not over. I think 2:07:48.720 --> 2:07:50.920 she actually it almost seems like they're going to a 2:07:50.960 --> 2:07:51.400 two back. 2:07:51.840 --> 2:07:54.280 That's what they look like they are. Yeah, right now 2:07:54.320 --> 2:07:56.680 they're working with a two BAC system of Nicki Hernandez 2:07:57.000 --> 2:07:59.680 and Lesa Rujo, who, by the way, was questionable in 2:07:59.760 --> 2:08:01.800 this coming into this game with a thigh injury. Here 2:08:01.880 --> 2:08:06.560 she is playing in what is a no very very 2:08:06.680 --> 2:08:09.880 little defensive set here, but into the box here is 2:08:09.920 --> 2:08:13.040 Gudier As. Gudia has turned shoots and that shot will 2:08:13.080 --> 2:08:17.840 go maybe two Massachusetts in the eighty second minute rain 2:08:17.960 --> 2:08:22.960 leading to nothing. You like that one? That was good 2:08:24.560 --> 2:08:27.600 for as much talent Goudiere as has, she's not able 2:08:27.680 --> 2:08:32.720 to work enough there against three rain defenders. Turns and shoots, 2:08:33.200 --> 2:08:36.280 can't get that one on frame, and the Brazilian talent 2:08:36.320 --> 2:08:39.360 will want that one back because Boston cannot let any 2:08:39.400 --> 2:08:42.200 of those opportunities go to waste, and they will foul 2:08:42.360 --> 2:08:44.120 me official there. That's the whole up play that you 2:08:44.200 --> 2:08:47.520 were talking about wanting me official on at halftime, talking 2:08:47.560 --> 2:08:49.400 about that hold up play. She does have the hold up. 2:08:49.600 --> 2:08:51.120 She earns a foul here in the eighty third. 2:08:51.280 --> 2:08:53.240 Yeah, she does a great job, right, just balls that 2:08:53.360 --> 2:08:55.320 kind of even holes in the air and it's really 2:08:55.360 --> 2:08:57.520 hard to hold up while your defenders trying to kind 2:08:57.520 --> 2:08:59.560 of bump you off and create better positioning. 2:09:00.120 --> 2:09:00.840 Does such a good job. 2:09:00.880 --> 2:09:03.120 And so whether it's getting the foul or actually coming 2:09:03.160 --> 2:09:05.280 out of that with possession, it's one of her best skills. 2:09:06.240 --> 2:09:08.280 And it will actually be Claudia Dicky to take this 2:09:08.400 --> 2:09:11.040 free kick from Seattle's own end, going along to Mondasere, 2:09:11.440 --> 2:09:18.120 headed away from Nikki Hernandez. As we see a Boston 2:09:18.200 --> 2:09:20.680 team that now that they have to defend their throwing 2:09:20.760 --> 2:09:23.360 a lot of migfielders along that back line, just to 2:09:23.440 --> 2:09:28.920 have bodies along the Seattle offensive weapons official Mercado, Doleen 2:09:29.000 --> 2:09:33.920 and Mondasere seven minutes until the full ninety Boston working 2:09:33.960 --> 2:09:36.320 with it in their own end. Pressure now from Mondasere, 2:09:36.360 --> 2:09:39.760 pressure from ficial presser from Marcado. Can they force them 2:09:39.800 --> 2:09:43.160 into a turnover? They can, there is Mercado, but can't 2:09:43.240 --> 2:09:46.040 control that one. And it stays with Boston. Can they 2:09:46.120 --> 2:09:50.280 break the press? They cannot, and a foul is going 2:09:50.360 --> 2:09:54.640 to be called here, I believe on Sammy Smith, who 2:09:54.680 --> 2:09:58.360 will foul Puert's on that right side that's actually has 2:09:58.440 --> 2:10:00.960 but who fouls Huerta and it will be a free 2:10:01.040 --> 2:10:03.440 kick coming for Seattle and they will take a few 2:10:03.560 --> 2:10:06.400 extra seconds off of this clock, leading to nothing with 2:10:06.560 --> 2:10:07.920 just a few minutes remaining. 2:10:09.080 --> 2:10:10.920 Yeah, it's definitely a rough fowel. They're just kind of 2:10:10.960 --> 2:10:13.120 going into her back some frustration. They want to win 2:10:13.200 --> 2:10:16.000 the ball back and so yeah, now Seattle, can you 2:10:16.080 --> 2:10:18.520 know ten seconds can feel like an eternity at some 2:10:18.640 --> 2:10:20.760 point in games like this, So to get a little 2:10:20.760 --> 2:10:21.720 bit of a back is nice. 2:10:23.320 --> 2:10:26.760 Here is where it's a mock kick and then does 2:10:26.840 --> 2:10:29.120 take it. A couple seconds later, another five seconds go 2:10:29.200 --> 2:10:33.320 off the clock and she will go short. Seattle working 2:10:33.320 --> 2:10:35.560 with it in possession, getting a lot of pressure here 2:10:35.640 --> 2:10:38.240 from Boston. Can they break this pressure? Now to the 2:10:38.360 --> 2:10:43.160 left side for Curry. Curry has doleen. They have Official 2:10:43.240 --> 2:10:45.920 right on top, a little looped ball over trying to 2:10:46.000 --> 2:10:49.320 find me Official, and it's out off of Boston foot 2:10:49.400 --> 2:10:51.360 throw in coming for Seattle. You can take a couple 2:10:51.480 --> 2:10:56.160 more seconds here, tick tick tick, see how looking for 2:10:56.240 --> 2:11:01.080 their first win in a couple months. Now Mia trying 2:11:01.120 --> 2:11:03.440 to hold up play. Here's Maddy Dallen, Dahalen chance to 2:11:03.480 --> 2:11:04.960 cross it in towards the top of the box, and 2:11:05.120 --> 2:11:08.080 a great step by a Boston center back to just 2:11:08.160 --> 2:11:09.960 get a foot in the way of that one. They 2:11:10.040 --> 2:11:12.760 take it away and now they will have to work quickly. 2:11:13.840 --> 2:11:15.960 It's in the arms now of Casey Murphy after a 2:11:16.040 --> 2:11:20.480 quick deflection. We're at eighty five minutes of the ninety for. 2:11:20.560 --> 2:11:23.919 A team that's winning to zero. This is almost exactly 2:11:24.000 --> 2:11:26.000 how you want the game to go. You're consistently in 2:11:26.080 --> 2:11:28.280 the other team's half. Are you putting them, you know, 2:11:28.320 --> 2:11:31.000 pressure on theirs, You're putting them on their heels, and 2:11:31.080 --> 2:11:32.960 so it's a right now it seems like Seattle has 2:11:32.960 --> 2:11:33.760 a good control of the game. 2:11:34.200 --> 2:11:36.680 They certainly do. Is Boston has to retreat all the 2:11:36.720 --> 2:11:40.920 way to their goalkeeper Murphy and along there now two 2:11:41.040 --> 2:11:46.160 woman back line playing with almost no defense, just throwing 2:11:46.280 --> 2:11:49.640 numbers as many as they can forward. And now a 2:11:49.720 --> 2:11:53.720 big turnover, but a foul is called a huge turnover 2:11:54.240 --> 2:11:57.000 in Boston's own end. But a foul bails them out 2:11:57.360 --> 2:11:59.760 in what was certainly going to be a third Seattle goal. 2:12:00.960 --> 2:12:03.280 But now here is Boston on the left side with 2:12:03.360 --> 2:12:08.440 Gutierrez trying to get some help, not seeing too many 2:12:08.720 --> 2:12:12.760 green shirts there as Seattle retreats and keeps the pressure on, 2:12:13.640 --> 2:12:16.040 not letting too many passing windows open up. But here 2:12:16.120 --> 2:12:19.200 on the left wing, chance for Hernandez to cross it 2:12:19.240 --> 2:12:22.000 into the box reaches a Boston foot and it's a 2:12:23.080 --> 2:12:28.160 goal for Boston. But will this be offside? We're taking 2:12:28.200 --> 2:12:32.760 a moment here, Yes, it will be no goal for 2:12:32.880 --> 2:12:36.440 the legacy. It is offside there on Troore. The cross 2:12:36.560 --> 2:12:40.920 came in for Hernandez, Troore was off and Boston stays 2:12:40.960 --> 2:12:42.680 scoreless here in the eighty seventh minute. 2:12:43.120 --> 2:12:45.480 Yeah, and everyone's just Dez really waiting for that flag 2:12:45.560 --> 2:12:47.880 to go up, show us the flag rep and it 2:12:48.000 --> 2:12:49.680 does there. And you know, watching the play, you kind 2:12:49.680 --> 2:12:51.400 of assumed she was. She was pretty low on the 2:12:51.440 --> 2:12:54.800 post there behind the defenders. You know, it's smart play. 2:12:54.880 --> 2:12:57.560 It's a low crossload. Defenders were low on the field. 2:12:57.600 --> 2:13:01.200 But she does just sneak right in past me and mclernan. 2:13:01.360 --> 2:13:03.560 Yeah, Hasbo there, gets the ball in the box and 2:13:04.760 --> 2:13:09.920 her first touch towards goal. Triori eventually gets it, but 2:13:10.040 --> 2:13:12.200 it's waved off after she puts it into the back 2:13:12.240 --> 2:13:15.560 of the net. You wondered, and it is no goal. 2:13:15.960 --> 2:13:19.280 And now three minutes remaining of the ninety and for 2:13:19.360 --> 2:13:25.640 head coach Felipe Pateal, Boston has not lost in five games. 2:13:25.680 --> 2:13:27.560 They're two to zero to three. They lost the first 2:13:27.720 --> 2:13:31.720 five games of their expansion season, as many expansion teams do. 2:13:32.160 --> 2:13:34.600 They were shut out in four of those five games, 2:13:35.280 --> 2:13:37.280 and then they went on a great streak. They've been 2:13:37.320 --> 2:13:42.920 playing such great soccer and now they're staring a loss 2:13:42.960 --> 2:13:45.280 in the face to nothing. Now, I will say they 2:13:46.200 --> 2:13:49.480 referees are holding this one up right now. They're taking 2:13:49.520 --> 2:13:52.000 another look at this one. We see the ball in 2:13:52.080 --> 2:13:56.640 from Hernandez into Hasbo middle of the box, and they're 2:13:56.640 --> 2:13:58.360 I think they're taking a look to see if Madison 2:13:58.440 --> 2:14:04.800 Curry fouled Hasbo before that pass that ended up getting 2:14:05.240 --> 2:14:09.440 to Triore. They're gonna see if Madison Curry fouled Hasbo 2:14:09.560 --> 2:14:11.840 in the box, which would be a Boston penalty. This 2:14:11.960 --> 2:14:13.160 is interesting, what do you see here? 2:14:13.360 --> 2:14:15.160 Well, they also might be looking to see if it 2:14:15.240 --> 2:14:18.760 actually knicks a Seattle defender because if it comes off 2:14:19.680 --> 2:14:21.640 you know, a Seattle player in that instance, then she 2:14:21.720 --> 2:14:23.840 might not be offside. So you also have to watch 2:14:23.920 --> 2:14:25.600 for that because if it hits the back line, if 2:14:25.600 --> 2:14:28.200 it hits a defender last, then it's actually she could 2:14:28.360 --> 2:14:30.440 she could be in the clear triory for being for 2:14:30.560 --> 2:14:31.240 being offside. 2:14:31.680 --> 2:14:34.000 Man. If that, if that took a Seattle afflection, it 2:14:35.200 --> 2:14:39.080 was not much. Did not see much of a deflection 2:14:39.240 --> 2:14:43.000 on that. Let's see what our referee, John Motto vir 2:14:43.120 --> 2:14:49.360 Laura Rodriguez, what they decide here. And know there is 2:14:49.560 --> 2:14:56.040 no penalty given play on as we approached the ninetieth 2:14:56.120 --> 2:15:00.400 minute here in Rhode Island, the first professional women soccer 2:15:00.480 --> 2:15:04.480 match to ever be played in Rhode Island, and it 2:15:04.560 --> 2:15:08.120 looks like Seattle right now is looking at winning that 2:15:08.320 --> 2:15:12.040 first ever game. Should note also that for Laura Harvey, 2:15:12.120 --> 2:15:19.400 her first ever win was at Boston as Seattle makes 2:15:19.440 --> 2:15:21.640 a change there. Speaking of Laura Harvey, her recent change 2:15:21.680 --> 2:15:25.000 Britney Ratcliffe coming on for Maddie Doleen. So like for 2:15:25.240 --> 2:15:29.880 like attacking wingers there as Brittany Radcliffe, a ford on 2:15:29.960 --> 2:15:31.960 this team comes in for Doleen, who's been playing on 2:15:32.000 --> 2:15:34.440 the left wing today. D Leen who's scored in the 2:15:35.040 --> 2:15:39.800 fifty first minute of this game. Ball is a foot 2:15:39.880 --> 2:15:42.600 of Casey Murphy for Boston. She will launch it forward 2:15:42.680 --> 2:15:47.640 here because we are nearly at the full ninety pressure 2:15:47.720 --> 2:15:53.480 from Mercado and fisial foul called Boston will at this 2:15:53.560 --> 2:15:55.920 point try to work quick, but I believe they will 2:15:55.920 --> 2:15:58.520 work quick in a losing effort. This one looks to 2:15:58.560 --> 2:16:00.640 be going for the Seattle rain. 2:16:01.000 --> 2:16:03.360 Jackson, you can't say that too early. 2:16:03.920 --> 2:16:04.600 Jinxes aren't real. 2:16:06.560 --> 2:16:08.760 Yeah, now we're gonna see them, hopefully see this game out. 2:16:08.760 --> 2:16:11.520 We'll see how much staffage time there is. But you know, 2:16:11.640 --> 2:16:14.240 Seattle does look like they're in barely good control. But 2:16:14.280 --> 2:16:16.000 Boston keeps knocking on the door as they come down 2:16:16.000 --> 2:16:16.720 the field once again. 2:16:16.880 --> 2:16:19.120 Yeah, on this right side of your chance for Prince 2:16:19.240 --> 2:16:21.920 once again to cross it in working once again on Curry. 2:16:22.400 --> 2:16:25.080 Curry defending her so well, or she's done all day 2:16:25.680 --> 2:16:27.760 on or light glue and gets in the way for 2:16:27.800 --> 2:16:30.280 a turnover, Mercado trying to clear it's still to Prince, 2:16:30.360 --> 2:16:33.280 Prince crossing to the top of the box. As we 2:16:33.360 --> 2:16:37.440 now know, four minutes have been added here. Collision between 2:16:37.560 --> 2:16:41.640 mondasre ful called on Mondas here free kick coming for 2:16:41.720 --> 2:16:45.480 Boston about ten yards outside of Seattle's box is where 2:16:45.520 --> 2:16:48.840 you're here in the ninety first minute. Seattle just a 2:16:48.959 --> 2:16:52.080 few minutes away from wrapping up this win. Can they 2:16:52.200 --> 2:16:54.520 do it? Coco Mandas here going into that collision with 2:16:54.600 --> 2:16:57.840 Nicky Hernandez, fair call there or what do you think? 2:16:58.120 --> 2:16:59.640 I thought it was a little weak. 2:16:59.800 --> 2:17:01.240 I mean, I think they're both kind of going in 2:17:01.280 --> 2:17:03.720 in a collision, But it did seem like her leg 2:17:03.800 --> 2:17:06.040 and her pleat was kind of up and maybe went 2:17:06.120 --> 2:17:09.160 in a little bit late once once the player already 2:17:09.160 --> 2:17:11.960 had the ball. So yeah, maybe fair enough, But this 2:17:12.120 --> 2:17:14.720 is a tough spot to give this kind of free 2:17:14.760 --> 2:17:15.840 kick at the stage of the game. 2:17:15.959 --> 2:17:19.920 Albut canoe over it for Boston? Will she shoot on 2:17:20.000 --> 2:17:22.840 frame or looked across on frame? But no, not on 2:17:22.959 --> 2:17:26.959 frame wide left? She went four goal and missed about 2:17:27.040 --> 2:17:30.320 five yards wide left and Claudia Dickey will have a 2:17:30.400 --> 2:17:34.920 goalkick here in the ninety second minute. If I've added 2:17:35.080 --> 2:17:39.720 four minutes here in this game, you wonder, though they 2:17:39.840 --> 2:17:42.320 looked at a couple things there, if they extend that 2:17:42.520 --> 2:17:45.080 four to a slightly longer. 2:17:46.560 --> 2:17:48.000 Yeah, you never really know, do yet? 2:17:48.080 --> 2:17:48.840 You never really know. 2:17:49.280 --> 2:17:51.000 Once that first number is up there, then it's a 2:17:51.040 --> 2:17:51.600 guessing game. 2:17:52.160 --> 2:17:56.440 Long ball from Dickey bounces off of Boston head cleared 2:17:56.480 --> 2:18:00.440 to mcclernan, who sends it out right towards Laura, who 2:18:00.480 --> 2:18:03.400 is screaming at her team to get back. Laura Harvey 2:18:03.440 --> 2:18:06.240 wants help defensively, she wants me official to come back 2:18:06.280 --> 2:18:09.160 and help, trying to get as many Blue Shirts back 2:18:09.200 --> 2:18:12.080 in their own end as possible to close this thing out. 2:18:12.800 --> 2:18:15.320 And I think that kind of shows exactly, you know, one, 2:18:15.440 --> 2:18:18.160 how dangerous Boston can be. I think everyone watches this game. 2:18:18.240 --> 2:18:18.960 We've talked about it. 2:18:19.040 --> 2:18:21.960 They're aggressive, they're fast, they're transition oriented, so it does 2:18:22.080 --> 2:18:24.879 feel like they could get two goals quickly at any moment, 2:18:25.000 --> 2:18:27.000 no matter what moment. And you see that in Laura 2:18:27.040 --> 2:18:29.640 Harvey while she's really really yelling at her players to 2:18:29.680 --> 2:18:31.359 get back and to get organized. 2:18:31.600 --> 2:18:34.960 It has been interesting because Boston plays this transition, high intensity, 2:18:35.080 --> 2:18:39.040 high press game. Seattle defensively has stopped them at every 2:18:39.160 --> 2:18:43.400 turn today. Big collision there, Ratcliffe working on cano. Boston 2:18:43.480 --> 2:18:45.720 comes away with it, but only to mandas Here, who 2:18:45.840 --> 2:18:48.880 interrupts that one and sends a ball all the way 2:18:49.879 --> 2:18:53.200 towards Boston's own box, and the legacy will have to 2:18:53.240 --> 2:18:57.440 work quickly. But a tremendous job by Seattle's entire defense 2:18:57.480 --> 2:19:01.360 today to work against this Boston pressure, against this Boston press, 2:19:01.640 --> 2:19:04.720 and allow them absolutely nothing so far towards the box. 2:19:05.160 --> 2:19:07.320 Getting the way that one is official. She did exactly 2:19:07.400 --> 2:19:10.120 what Laura Harvey asked, came back, defended, got in the 2:19:10.160 --> 2:19:13.560 middle of that one. Now Here up Is has turner 2:19:14.480 --> 2:19:16.440 on that left side, gets in the way of that one. 2:19:16.640 --> 2:19:20.279 Boston still with it cross towards the box. Clock strikes 2:19:20.360 --> 2:19:24.119 ninety three sixty seconds left of the added four. Gudiera's 2:19:24.160 --> 2:19:27.000 top of the box long chuck blocked, great block there 2:19:27.080 --> 2:19:31.040 by McCammon. Now it's with Seattle with Mercado, mccado working 2:19:31.080 --> 2:19:33.359 on the left side, gives it away still with Boston 2:19:33.640 --> 2:19:37.200 forty five seconds left of the added four towards the box, 2:19:37.440 --> 2:19:39.120 chance on goal and it's into the back of the 2:19:39.200 --> 2:19:42.560 net for Boston. There is the goal. With thirty seconds 2:19:43.000 --> 2:19:46.160 until the added four. Boston get their goal. It is Triore. 2:19:47.920 --> 2:19:53.680 It's I saw at Trioa putting it right by Claudia. 2:19:53.760 --> 2:19:56.560 Dicky looked like there was a hand to it, but 2:19:56.720 --> 2:19:59.240 it rolls into the back of the net. It's now 2:19:59.360 --> 2:20:02.480 two to one, Seattle over Boston. The clean sheets gone. 2:20:02.879 --> 2:20:05.320 The win is still in the cars. Claudia Dicky gets 2:20:05.320 --> 2:20:08.000 a hand to it. But now the only question is 2:20:08.640 --> 2:20:12.600 how much time will referee John Monto ad to this 2:20:12.760 --> 2:20:16.400 added four minutes? Can Seattle lock this down? Leading two 2:20:16.480 --> 2:20:19.520 to one? Long ball ahead from Claudia Dicky to this 2:20:19.640 --> 2:20:22.520 left side. It will go out, Boston throw in. We 2:20:22.600 --> 2:20:25.160 have hit the full four minutes. Now we will see 2:20:25.400 --> 2:20:28.879 how much our referee adds. It could go at any 2:20:29.200 --> 2:20:35.280 moment now two to one Seattle Boston with it clearing 2:20:35.360 --> 2:20:38.760 it forward, heading it back and forth, ends up at 2:20:38.760 --> 2:20:41.959 the foot of Mercado. Mercado to this left side for Ratcliffe. 2:20:42.120 --> 2:20:44.320 Ratcliffe can go to the corner. Now can she keep 2:20:44.360 --> 2:20:46.240 it in? She can, She's at the quarter and she 2:20:46.360 --> 2:20:48.440 hits it out. This will be a Boston throw in. 2:20:48.560 --> 2:20:51.640 Now we are plus thirty of the added four How 2:20:51.720 --> 2:20:54.760 much longer will this go? Boston clearing it forward to 2:20:54.840 --> 2:20:56.800 the foot and there is the final whistle. 2:20:57.320 --> 2:21:01.560 Laura Harvey celebrates with her staff. Players celebrate on the field. 2:21:01.879 --> 2:21:05.680 Seattle Rain break the winless streak. They get the w 2:21:06.600 --> 2:21:09.240 It wasn't cleaning there in the final minutes. It ends 2:21:09.720 --> 2:21:13.280 with a two to one final score. Nerve racking at 2:21:13.320 --> 2:21:16.480 the end. But the Rain will start off this road 2:21:16.560 --> 2:21:17.360 trip with a w. 2:21:17.879 --> 2:21:20.480 Yeah, big win for them. Great to see them get 2:21:20.600 --> 2:21:23.640 not just one goal but two goals. You know, magic 2:21:23.720 --> 2:21:25.920 of the Maddies, we said, Maddy Dolling come in and 2:21:26.000 --> 2:21:27.000 with such a great goal there. 2:21:27.080 --> 2:21:28.359 And this is a good. 2:21:28.240 --> 2:21:31.400 Boston team, maybe inconsistent, but this is a strong, fast, 2:21:31.720 --> 2:21:34.000 good Boston team. And the Rain did a great job 2:21:34.080 --> 2:21:36.280 to meet them toe to toe to put away their 2:21:36.400 --> 2:21:39.959 chances and I think start actually believing in themselves again 2:21:40.000 --> 2:21:41.560 and knowing how good they really are. 2:21:42.000 --> 2:21:43.520 You got to be proud of your wins. You know. 2:21:43.800 --> 2:21:45.960 You don't look at where the team is, the level 2:21:46.000 --> 2:21:48.200 of their consistency, how many points they have, look at 2:21:48.200 --> 2:21:50.280 the fact that this is another professional soccer team. They 2:21:50.360 --> 2:21:52.520 came out there to play, they have scored, they have 2:21:52.640 --> 2:21:54.920 it on a good streak recently. And so you came 2:21:54.959 --> 2:21:56.520 out there, you did what you had to do. You 2:21:56.600 --> 2:21:59.840 scored two goals, and you know, ultimately, hey, a tough 2:22:00.240 --> 2:22:02.040 you know goal against you in the end, but you 2:22:02.200 --> 2:22:02.800 put it together. 2:22:02.959 --> 2:22:04.640 You played hard and you won the game. So for 2:22:04.800 --> 2:22:07.800 Seattle they go to now four four and two on 2:22:07.920 --> 2:22:10.760 the season. They move back into the playoff picture with 2:22:10.879 --> 2:22:14.200 fourteen points. For Boston they stay all the way back 2:22:14.640 --> 2:22:16.959 in fourteenth place with their nine points. We will take 2:22:16.959 --> 2:22:19.320 a break and talk about what is a win for 2:22:19.400 --> 2:22:22.119 the Seattle Rain two to one final score.

A corner kickpop back out. 2:25:51.440 --> 2:25:55.560 The cross came in from the left side from Madison Curry, 2:25:56.160 --> 2:25:59.160 Madison to Maddie Dolly makes it to nothing. 2:26:00.680 --> 2:26:04.200 It's a win for the Seattle Rain. Late goal for 2:26:04.360 --> 2:26:07.800 Boston not enough. It's a two to one victory for Seattle. 2:26:08.160 --> 2:26:10.200 They moved a four to four and two. They're in 2:26:10.440 --> 2:26:14.039 the playoff window now and they open up this long 2:26:14.200 --> 2:26:17.640 East Coast road trip from here to Washington, DC. With 2:26:17.840 --> 2:26:20.480 the w welcome into the postgame show, Jackson felt Stephanie 2:26:20.560 --> 2:26:24.840 Verdoi had kwameapaya as we talk about a Rain win, 2:26:25.240 --> 2:26:28.080 the first Rain win for Rain on the radio here 2:26:28.120 --> 2:26:31.040 in twenty twenty six. It's great to have the w 2:26:31.320 --> 2:26:33.520 for the first time since this team beat Louisville a 2:26:33.560 --> 2:26:36.440 couple months ago in Spokane. What do you know, it 2:26:36.520 --> 2:26:39.360 just takes. It takes this team playing in different places, 2:26:39.400 --> 2:26:43.080 whether it's Spokane, whether it's in Rhode Island, like tonight, 2:26:43.440 --> 2:26:44.400 it's a win for the Rain. 2:26:44.440 --> 2:26:46.000 Stephanie, Yeah, what do you know, It just takes some 2:26:46.120 --> 2:26:49.440 goals to actually win. So they did that tonight and 2:26:49.560 --> 2:26:51.480 it was great to see it. You really could see 2:26:51.520 --> 2:26:55.920 the change and the energy, the smiles, just the momentum 2:26:56.040 --> 2:26:58.320 out there. We hadn't seen it in recent games, even 2:26:58.360 --> 2:27:00.800 when they'd played well. They played well against Spirit recently, 2:27:00.920 --> 2:27:04.040 they had their moments against Gotham. But but tonight you 2:27:04.200 --> 2:27:06.280 really saw them believe in themselves, and we said that. 2:27:06.360 --> 2:27:07.080 Over and over again. 2:27:07.160 --> 2:27:10.400 They took more chances, they were more creative, they you know, 2:27:10.520 --> 2:27:12.400 they did a lot together as a team, and so 2:27:12.760 --> 2:27:14.440 I think they walk away with a lot of things 2:27:14.480 --> 2:27:14.960 to be proud of. 2:27:15.240 --> 2:27:17.680 Yeah, a lot of pride in it. Honestly, you saw 2:27:17.840 --> 2:27:20.119 Stephie and I were just cheering in a few times. 2:27:20.480 --> 2:27:22.320 You saw us excited, jumping up and down it. In 2:27:22.400 --> 2:27:24.440 case you heard any thumps on the radio, we were 2:27:24.480 --> 2:27:27.000 just so excited about good soccer. You know, I think 2:27:27.040 --> 2:27:28.520 that's one thing that the Rain does really well. They 2:27:28.560 --> 2:27:30.760 play really good soccer in moments of the game. You 2:27:30.840 --> 2:27:33.240 see good connections, you see good through balls, you see 2:27:33.280 --> 2:27:36.400 them really making sure that they're playing with spirit, with heart. 2:27:36.480 --> 2:27:39.280 It's just a good game to play. And ultimately, when 2:27:39.320 --> 2:27:41.960 you play a good game and you get rewarded, it 2:27:42.120 --> 2:27:44.560 feels really good. You know, we had a really really 2:27:44.600 --> 2:27:47.080 good game similar to this in terms of ability play 2:27:47.600 --> 2:27:50.640 against the Spirit, but unfortunately, you know, a late winner 2:27:51.000 --> 2:27:53.760 or a late loser against us. So ultimately this was 2:27:53.800 --> 2:27:55.680 the game where we played well and we got the reward, 2:27:55.720 --> 2:27:56.720 and you gotta be happy about that. 2:27:56.840 --> 2:27:59.240 For Maddie doll Leen, she had four goals for US 2:27:59.320 --> 2:28:02.280 to slash year in twenty six games. It's taken eight 2:28:02.400 --> 2:28:04.920 games this year, but she gets her first goal contribution 2:28:05.320 --> 2:28:07.080 with her first goal of the year here in the 2:28:07.120 --> 2:28:10.720 fifty first minute. Sofia Houerta, your captain, steps up to 2:28:10.760 --> 2:28:13.440 the spot, hits a penalty kick in the eleventh minute, 2:28:13.680 --> 2:28:16.600 gets her first goal of the year, her forty fifth 2:28:16.680 --> 2:28:19.800 career goal. So Huerta got them off to snine with 2:28:19.879 --> 2:28:21.879 that early penalty kick. It's now time we'll wrap up 2:28:21.879 --> 2:28:25.880 the postgame show with our Paula's choice Skincares Player of 2:28:26.000 --> 2:28:29.440 the Match. This is an interesting discussion and I have 2:28:29.600 --> 2:28:31.320 a player in mind right now. There's a lot of 2:28:31.400 --> 2:28:34.480 I think deserving candidates, Stephanie Kwalmy. I'd like both you 2:28:34.600 --> 2:28:37.120 guys to weigh in on who your player of the matches. 2:28:37.240 --> 2:28:40.600 Okay, I'm gonna do the obvious one, Mattie Dollen. I mean, 2:28:40.680 --> 2:28:42.520 what do we say you have to score goals to win? 2:28:42.600 --> 2:28:44.560 And I just I think she was the dynamic player 2:28:44.600 --> 2:28:45.240 that they needed. 2:28:45.080 --> 2:28:45.360 Her to be. 2:28:45.520 --> 2:28:48.320 I think she has actually been that player in recent games, 2:28:48.640 --> 2:28:50.320 and so it's been building for her and I'm just 2:28:50.480 --> 2:28:53.520 so happy that she finally got the reward of that 2:28:53.600 --> 2:28:56.680 play because she's she's a really really aggressive, good fast 2:28:56.800 --> 2:28:58.440 striker and she did a great job. 2:28:58.520 --> 2:28:59.360 So it's finished that off. 2:28:59.440 --> 2:29:01.920 I have a different player, So kwame, are you also 2:29:02.120 --> 2:29:04.560 going with Maddy Dolan or you going somebody else? 2:29:04.600 --> 2:29:06.400 I'm gonna go Maddie Dolleen. I mean, all the way 2:29:06.400 --> 2:29:08.640 from the first minute, won us our first corner right 2:29:08.800 --> 2:29:11.959 and then ended up ultimately had a having technically another 2:29:12.000 --> 2:29:14.920 goal contribution because won us the PK and then ultimately 2:29:15.000 --> 2:29:17.080 scored to also get that you know, game winner. So 2:29:17.440 --> 2:29:20.080 I just she was all over the field. She just yeah, 2:29:20.160 --> 2:29:22.879 she was taking defenders on, putting the ball in the box. 2:29:23.160 --> 2:29:23.920 I gotta go dling. 2:29:24.080 --> 2:29:26.680 So Paul's choice. Skincare is proud to present tonight's player 2:29:26.680 --> 2:29:28.360 of the match, that is Maddy Dolleen. I would just 2:29:28.440 --> 2:29:31.160 like to say Sophia Wuerta not only getting us off 2:29:31.200 --> 2:29:33.480 the schnight, scoring our first goal in five plus games, 2:29:33.840 --> 2:29:37.080 also representative of a back line that dealt so well 2:29:37.160 --> 2:29:41.240 with Boston's pressure tonight. Boston won the press, press, press, pressure, pressure, pressure, 2:29:41.440 --> 2:29:43.760 and until the very very end of that game, they 2:29:43.840 --> 2:29:46.240 had nothing in the back of the net. For our 2:29:46.280 --> 2:29:50.000 final comment, tonight, just a great job overall for ninety 2:29:50.040 --> 2:29:51.520 two minutes for Seattle's defense. 2:29:51.760 --> 2:29:55.160 It absolutely was. Seattle's defense is maybe actually the player 2:29:55.200 --> 2:29:57.200 of the match the whole back line, but Huerta is 2:29:57.280 --> 2:29:59.959 a major part of that. And you know, she's a captain, 2:30:00.120 --> 2:30:02.200 she's leading this team and I'm really excited to see 2:30:02.280 --> 2:30:02.880 what they do next. 2:30:03.200 --> 2:30:05.560 Yeah, I mean, honorable mention for me for you know, 2:30:05.640 --> 2:30:08.560 player of the game would have been Matti Mercado. You know, 2:30:08.680 --> 2:30:11.800 I think playing as a nine, coming back and defending 2:30:11.879 --> 2:30:14.240 in our box and then getting moved to the ten 2:30:14.480 --> 2:30:17.080 and playing box the boxes a midfielder. So it's just 2:30:17.440 --> 2:30:20.040 effort all the way through. And then also almost god 2:30:20.120 --> 2:30:22.760 An assists in an incredible through ball to Maddie Dollen, 2:30:22.840 --> 2:30:25.920 and so playing defensively, playing hard, winning the ball and 2:30:26.000 --> 2:30:28.879 also creating some opportunities. You know, hopefully as the game 2:30:28.959 --> 2:30:30.800 goes on, her effort is going to be rewarded by 2:30:30.840 --> 2:30:32.039 some opportunities and some goals. 2:30:32.120 --> 2:30:34.840 Seattle with a win in Boston a final score of 2:30:34.959 --> 2:30:37.480 two to one with goals from do Leen and Huerta, 2:30:37.920 --> 2:30:39.560 that will do it for us tonight. I want to 2:30:39.600 --> 2:30:41.760 thank every with the broadcast and their shirts on our board, 2:30:41.879 --> 2:30:44.800 our broadcast producer, Keiley Dunning.
