Match report from The Arizona Republic:

Liz Bogus doesn't really care that she leads the W-League in shots.

"To me, I want to be able to put more of 'em away," the Arizona Heatwave forward said.

Friday night, she put one of her eight shots away as the Heatwave put the Seattle Sounders away 3-1 at Sandra Day O'Connor High.

Bogus increased her league-leading shots total to 52, and the Heatwave (6-2-1) maintained their hold on second place in the Western Division.

Arizona outshot Seattle 34-13.

"It's definitely more fun to play that way," Bogus said of the offensive. "We were really coming together with a lot of combination plays."

Julie Williford and Brittany Cooper combined on the game's first goal three minutes into the match when Williford booted in her ninth goal of the season from just outside the box. Williford is second among W-League scorers behind Central Florida's Erin Baxter-McCorkle, who entered Friday night with 13 goals.

Bogus scored in the 31st minute on a crossing pass from Jen Klein to extend Arizona's lead to 2-0. She nearly added another in the 40th minute, but Seattle keeper Lisa Brookens snagged the ball cleanly.

Katie Miyake scored on a penalty kick for Seattle (2-5-1) in the 64th minute to cut it to 2-1. Patrice Feulner gathered in a rebound, collected herself and scored in the next minute to push the Heatwave lead back to two.

"There's so much energy," Feulner said. "The atmosphere's great. It's the next best thing to college soccer."
