A lifelong student of soccer whose passion for it outstrips his ability, Harvey is happy to return to the Cascadian mecca of The Beautiful Game. A Seattle native, Harvey was lured into the field of sports media by the high salaries and fast cars that are all too commonplace for sportswriters. As a student at Carleton (MN.) College, he worked as a writer, broadcaster and producer for the sports information department. Harvey graduated from Carleton magna cum laude in history and theatre in 2015. Harvey also worked for the North American Soccer League’s Minnesota United FC, contributing to televised broadcasts from the control room. After completing an internship with Sportspress Northwest, he covers the Sounders and UW men’s basketball as well as contributing coverage on the Seahawks and Mariners.
Following an 83-61 loss to Oregon, including conceding 14 three-pointers, Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said this year’s team lacks the grit of its predecessors.
The Huskies started poorly in the second half and finished worse as they let a double-digit lead slip away and lost their Pac-12 opener 79-74 to Washington State.
LSU’s 10-0 defeat to Alabama offered the Huskies some clues about how to defend against the Crimson Tide’s huge offensive line and keep some pressure on a turnover-prone freshman QB.
The Seahawks offensive line failed miserably in the first half against Arizona, digging a hole so deep that a furious second-half rally was insufficient. Four shots from the one-yard line drew no points.
It’s nothing personal, strictly business. Signings of younger, cheaper talents this week by the Seattle Sounders make doubtful the return of veterans Andreas Ivanschitz and Nelson Valdez.
After going three weeks with just one sack and 10 quarterback hits, the Seattle Seahawks abused Rams rookie QB Jared Goff in a division-clinching win at home Thursday.
Thousands of fans gathered downtown and marched with their Sounders to the Seattle Center, home to the original Sounders in the 1970s, for a rally that saluted the first MLS championship for Seattle.
Two days after winning the MLS Cup, the Seattle Sounders began an accelerated off-season as they exercised eight roster options and declined 13 more ahead of Tuesday’s expansion draft.
On a frigid, tense night in Canada, the Sounders held Toronto FC scoreless for 120 minutes, then triumphed in penalty kicks to secure the club’s first MLS championship.
