A week after some last-minute magic to take the victory against rival Portland Thorns FC, Seattle Reign FC were back at Memorial Stadium, hosting Houston Dash and looking to avenge their loss to the Dash back in May down in Houston. After giving up an early goal, Seattle found its momentum and coasted to a 3-1 win.
Houston would strike first in the 12th minute when defender Amber Brooks connected on a corner kick from Sofia Huerta. Brooks was able to slide through the middle of the box, uncontested by Seattle defender Megan Oyster, and head in the opening goal.
