Storm Rebound to beat Sounders


Calgary 2 - 1 Seattle

Calgary managed to pick themselves up and dust themselves off after being humbled the previous night by Vancouver.

The Storm put in a gutsy performance and managed to walk away with a 2-1 victory over the always-tough Seattle Sounders at Seahawks Stadium.

The Storm rode into the win column on the back of goals by Jordan Gillespie and Nicholas Zuniga. Gillespie's marker came in the 12th minute and Zuniga's came from the penalty spot in the 55th.

Seattle's Kyle Smith managed to score a consolation goal in the 90th minute and spoiled the shutout attempt of Calgary keeper, Jamie Glasnovic.

Like Calgary did on Saturday, Seattle had to play with 10 men for most of the game when Sean-Michael Callahan was red-carded for a wicked, studs-up tackle in the 22nd minute.

The Storm are now 1-0-1 on the season and sit third in the Pacific Division.
