Preseason Notebook: Despite loss, Seattle Sounders optimistic about young players

The Seattle Sounders may have fallen to Cascadia rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Wednesday night, but the young players on the squad showed there’s plenty to be excited about with the future of the team.

Homegrown Players Aaron Kovar and Darwin Jones teamed up with Generation Adidas and University of Washington product Cristian Roldan for the first Sounders’ goal of the preseason in Tucson, Ariz.

Kovar had the assist and Jones pounded home a confident finish to the far post for the team’s only goal of a 2-1 loss.
