DF Sam Johnson had big shoes to fill after the announcement of captain Sauerbrunn’s injury – but the pressure didn’t seem to bother the newly acquired trade. Johnson played the full 90, registering four stellar tackles and leading the team in blocked shots. Her defensive pressure and unique playing style seemed to mesh well with the new squad, only allowing Seattle a single shot on frame.
