The New Era of Seattle Sounders
Seattle Sounders FC enters the 2024 Major League Soccer (MLS) season with a mix of optimism and uncertainty. After a previous season marked by notable achievements but also frustrating challenges, the club seeks to solidify its position as a dominant force in the American soccer landscape. With significant changes to their squad, including key departures and heavyweight signings, crucial questions arise about how the team will adapt and overcome its obstacles.
One of Seattle Sounders’ main areas of strength is their solid defense, highlighted by the lowest expected goals conceded according to Opta. With a consistent defensive line and a well-organized midfield, the team has demonstrated its ability to neutralize opponent attacks. Furthermore, the addition of Pedro de la Vega, a talented left winger, for a considerable sum, suggests a renewed ambition to turn possession into clear goal-scoring opportunities.

Seattle’s effectiveness in attack has been questioned. Despite their solid defense, the team has struggled to convert their opportunities into goals, as evidenced by the playoff match where they were defeated at home by LAFC. The departure of players like Héber and Nicolás Lodeiro, the latter a legendary figure at the club, leaves significant gaps in the attack and offensive creativity. The uncertainty about whether Pedro de la Vega will be able to fill this void is a legitimate concern for the fans.
The signings of Pedro de la Vega and Danny Musovski bring a mixture of excitement and skepticism. De la Vega arrives with an impressive track record but also with the weight of expectations from a major transfer. His ability to quickly adapt to the MLS playing style and produce consistently will be crucial to Seattle’s success this season. Musovski, on the other hand, offers depth in attack, but his previous success in the league does not necessarily guarantee exceptional performance in the future.
In addition to the roster changes, Seattle Sounders also face tactical and strategic challenges. The team must find ways to capitalize on their possession and turn it into more efficient goal-scoring opportunities. This may require adjustments in playing style and tactical approach, as well as a greater emphasis on finishing and creativity in the final third of the field.
SEATTLE (AP) — Sarah Wozniewicz gave Ottawa the lead, rookie Peyton Hemp scored her first goal and Gwyneth Philips posted her first shutout of the season as the Charge blanked Seattle 2-0 on Sunday despite the return of Torrent’s captain Hilary Knight.
Ottawa (6-7-1-9) moved two points in front of the Toronto Sceptres for the fourth and final playoff spot with a match in hand and seven remaining in the regular season.
Seattle Torrent captain, Olympic champion Hilary Knight activated from injured reserve
Wozniewicz was in the right place to bang in a deflection after a shot by Kathryn Reilly hit the skate of a Seattle defender in front of the net at the 9:09 mark of the first period.
Hemp gave the Charge a 2-0 lead when she scored with 1:23 left in the second period. Hemp collected six assists through her first 22 matches.
Seattle began the third period on a two-minute power play after Ottawa forward Brianne Jenner was called for interference in the final second of the second. But Philips was up to the task, finishing with 25 saves.
Corinne Schroeder totaled 27 saves for Seattle (6-1-2-14). She saved a penalty shot by Jenner with 13:58 left to play.
Ottawa came in with a league-high 14 power-play goals but went 0 for 3 against Seattle. The Torrent came up empty on six tries with an extra skater.
Seattle activated Knight from long-term injured reserve before the match. Knight had three goals and seven assists in 14 games before sustaining an injury at the Winter Olympics.
The Charge beat the Torrent for a third straight time following a 4-1 loss in Seattle on Dec. 17.
Ottawa had been the only team without a regulation victory away from its primary home this season.

COUNTDOWN: Five weeks until you can help West Seattle Food Bank ‘Nourish & Flourish.’ Special guest revealed!
Five weeks from tonight – on Saturday, May 2 – you can help the West Seattle Food Bank “Nourish and Flourish” by being part of its annual dinneer and auction, as an attendee and/or sponsor. This week, a special guest was revealed – here’s the WSFB announcement:
The West Seattle Food Bank (WSFB) is pleased to announce that Seattle comedian Scott Losse will join this year’s Nourish & Flourish gala as a special guest, bringing humor and heart to an evening dedicated to community, compassion, and impact.
Losse — recently featured as an “Undisputable Champion of Comedy” in The Stranger — is known for his sharp, relatable takes on life in the Pacific Northwest and his ability to connect audiences through both humor and honesty.
At Nourish & Flourish, Losse will provide a moment of levity during the program, helping to balance the evening’s powerful stories of need and resilience with laughter—an essential ingredient in bringing communities together.
“This event is about nourishing hope,” said Robbin Peterson, Development Director at West Seattle Food Bank. “Scott’s ability to help people laugh, even in challenging times, reflects exactly what community looks like— showing up for one another with both compassion and joy.”
Losse’s connection to West Seattle Food Bank is deeply personal. His wife Janelle was inspired to pursue a career in social services and nonprofit work after volunteering as a child alongside her grandmother — who was one of WSFB’s volunteers in the early years of the food bank.
“That legacy of service — passed from one generation to the next — is exactly what we see every day at the food bank,” Peterson added. “It’s neighbors helping neighbors, steadfastly across time.”
Nourish & Flourish will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 4105 in SODO, bringing together 300 community members for an evening of storytelling, fundraising, and celebration. Proceeds support WSFB’s vital programs, including food access, housing stability, and essential services for thousands of neighbors across West Seattle.
In 2025 alone, West Seattle Food Bank distributed more than 2.25 million pounds of food, served over 23,000 individuals, and helped keep hundreds of families housed.
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available at:

WSB is media sponsor of Nourish & Flourish. See you there!
