For much of his first three games this season, Mercer Island native Jordan Morris was doing everything but finish.
It was somewhat reminiscent of his initial five games last season before the Sounders forward finally broke through en route to winning MLS Rookie of the Year honors. On Sunday, with his team having let a second half lead slip away, Morris finally finished in close by heading a ball past keeper Luis Robles in the 66th minute to put the Sounders ahead to stay.
Harry Shipp then put a capper on this 3-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls by redirecting a Joevin Jones shot in the 79th minute for his first Sounders goal since arriving via trade from Montreal.
