SEATTLE — Harry Shipp took one quick glance over his shoulder before sprinting to the left side of the 18-yard-box, jumping into the air and pumping his fist.
Shipp had just scored his second goal with the Seattle Sounders and have his side a 1-0 lead in the 42nd minute on Saturday against Real Salt Lake, a tally that would hang on to be the game-winner. The goal had been coming for a while — Seattle had outshot RSL 10-1 at that point — and Shipp was the one to finally sound the death knell on what had thus far been a virtuoso performance in goal by Nick Rimando.
