FINAL: Salmon Bay FC WIN! In a clash of two great teams in the USL W League's Northwest division, Salmon Bay gets a big-time victory against West Seattle Rhodies FC at Interbay.

Goals by U’i Kaaihue and Ginny Lackey help get the victory!

This is a CRUCIAL win for Salmon Bay, as they need to win out to ensure they clinch the lone playoff spot that the Northwest division gets. They're not through the woods yet, as they still have two battles against a quality Snohomish United side in their final three fixtures.
