Seattle Soccer Shows

Reign FC keep the good times rolling at Lumen Field. Keely Dunning and Laura Schott break down Sunday night's 1-0 win over San Diego Wave FC on Hello Kitty Night, from Maddie Mercado's 29th-minute header off a Maddie Dahlien cross, her eighth goal of the season, to the bat-swing celebration that followed it. They dig into Laura Harvey's post-game message: pleased with the result, not the performance, and the question she left her young squad with about what their purpose is when the opponent goes down a player. The hosts run the playoff math with Reign FC sitting eighth on 34 points and five points separating fifth from eighth, and make the case that winning without playing your best is the mark of a maturing team. Plus a look ahead to Bay FC, and a pre-game playlist chat where Rihanna meets Bay Area hyphy.

They also explore the mental-health benefits of outdoor play, the pressure of youth sports culture, and ways Sounders fans can join the movement as “disruptors."

Steve Zakuani and Brad Evans sit down with Stephen Davis, President and CEO of Food Lifeline, the Seattle-based hunger-relief organization working to feed people today while tackling the root causes of hunger for tomorrow. Stephen shares his path from more than a decade in school nutrition and food-service leadership to now guiding Food Lifeline's mission of getting food to millions of neighbors across Western Washington each year. Steve and Brad talk about what food insecurity really looks like in our communities, how food moves from donation to someone's table through Food Lifeline's retail partnerships and mobile food programs, and why policy advocacy is just as essential as the food itself in building a future where everyone has reliable access to a healthy meal.
