2021 – RD 14: Seattle Seawolves v Austin Gilgronis

The Seawolves host the AGs at Starfire Stadium.

Seattle winger Lauina Futi opened the scoring early with a try in the 3rd minute. This would be the first of a hattrick of tries that Futi would score in this game, the second hattrick in Seawolves history and the 13th in the history of MLR!

Futi’s hattrick wasn’t the only noteworthy think in this game as, after Seattle scored a try through Tommy Clark in the 79th minute to take them to within 5pts of the AGs, they declined to take the conversion. Instead, they would rather speed up the restart to give them more time to score again which, unfortunately, did not pay off. The Gilgronis left the PNW as 31-36 victors.
