It was billed as the club that made Laura Harvey who she is (hint: awesome) coming to Seattle with a lot of intrigue, if not mystery, as to how would it play out. A Women's Super League (WSL) team from England coming to the U.S. to take on an NWSL team -- and while there is the UEFA Women's Champions League, European club teams coming to the U.S. to play club teams here on the women's side is a rarity.
And so for 4,083 at Memorial Stadium on Thursday night, they got to see something different, something new.
