The Seattle Sounders are once again kings of Cascadia.
After falling short in each of the past three seasons, the Sounders reclaimed the Cascadia Cup on Saturday with a 3-0 road win against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Goals from Andreas Ivanschitz, Gonzalo Pineda and Obafemi Martins were enough to help Seattle prevail at BC Place, a victory that snapped Vancouver's two-year reign as regional champions.
The Sounders last won the Cascadia Cup -- which is contested every year by the Sounders, Whitecaps, and Portland Timbers -- in 2011. Sigi Schmid's side claimed the 2015 trophy by finishing with 12 points via a 4-2-0 record. The Whitecaps were second with eight points (2-2-2), and the Timbers finished last with five points (1-3-2).
