The Urban Knights went unbeaten on the week, thanks in part to their King who didn’t let any ball get behind him. The Sea Lions went into the Northwest and came away with a pair of two totally different ties, one with lots of scoring and one without any.

Point Loma tied Seattle Pacific (3-3) and Western Washington (0-0) in the Pacific Northwest, and used two goals from defender Milo Libby to keep them knotted with the Falcons. Academy of Art was the only team to win two matches last week, partially because goalkeeper Davis King pitched a pair of shutouts.
