Hello everyone and welcome into our LA studios I'm Alexis Eunas alongside the one and only

Ali Krieger and we hope you've been enjoying the NWSL action and oh

dramatic finish Ali and as much as we love the Olympics but it's good to have the league back isn't it?

Yes it's great to have the league back. This is what end-of-a-s-sou football is all about.

It's great to see all the teams back at full strength and you can see with the new additions like Seattle had now they can

kind of carry it on that momentum into the playoff push this was a must win and so it's

exciting finally to see towards the end of the game that they were able to

able to capitalize on that. Yes indeed so without further ado why don't we get right into that game because it was a big night for a certain Megan Rapino the legend herself come on we love her she was honored before the game the first ever Seattle

Rain player to have her Jersey retired. All right let's pick things up in the

14th minute Courtney Vine played through but she opts to pass instead of taking the shot

Ali. Yeah that was an excellent defensive play though getting back post that's one of the

most difficult plays to make in our game and so just to get a little touch on it to

prevent that and North Carolina goal to happen.

Next one now, Seattle yet on the attack. We know how Jossin G had can be very, very dangerous.

She flicks it in but it just gets the post.

Then again 58 minute now the path sliding over to King

she puts the shot on target but good save.

Yes King was creating a lot in the attack this match, obviously trying to get the momentum

back in the front six and so she really had a lot to do and created that chance.

Well the shot gets blocked and falls to Jaylin Howell.

She goes for the left foot, but comes off of the post.

And it's nice to see Jaylin Howell get right into the action
