Goal. Tigres take advantage of some disorganization at the back. Good finish by Jonathan Herrera.

That’s halftime, 0-0. It has been a physical, up and down match. Aside from the penalty, though, Sounders seem to be handling it OK.

Veteran goaltender Corinne Schroeder was BIG for @seattletorrent.bsky.social in tonight's victory. We are all Carly Jackson in this clip after this game. "CHYEA BOI! F***in rights" #SeattleTorrent #PWHL #SeattleSports

Tonight's 5-3 win over @pwhlcharge.bsky.social is @seattletorrent.bsky.social first ever true road victory. Their other wins on the "road" came in @thepwhlofficial Takeover Tour games. Very impressive Seattle effort in the second leg of a back-to-back. #SeattleTorrent #PWHL #SeattleSports

The Torrent fend off a strong Charge team, winning the second leg of a back-to-back and snapping a three-game losing skid. Hell of an effort by Seattle, getting goals from Habisch, Serdachny (Twice), Snodgrass, and Barnes. Schroeder BIG in goal. #SeattleTorrent #SeattleSports
