Just a small amount of league fixtures for the month of March, but after a disappointing Pre-Season, Bush was eager to get going. In a game where Seattle dominated possession Eddie Johnson thought he had a perfect debut when he found the net on the 31st minute, only for it to flagged for offside.
Kyle Bekker opened the scoring with a 25 yard volley from a corner. It was youngster Stuart Powers who finally equalised for Seattle with a fierce strike after 61 minutes. Powers nearly had a debut to savour as he cross was cleared off the line by the defender. But in the end the game finished 1 goal a piece.

Bush went with an unchanged side with the one that drew the week before.
Eddie Johnson slide in after 15 minutes to find the net, but he was deemed to have moved a fraction too early and the flag was raised. But he did turn provider as he crossed the ball for Rosales to finally breal the deadlock. Seattle doubled their lead after 66 minutes after Ianni headed in a corner. Brian Ching powered home a goal just 6 minutes later after a Housten break. This proved to be the last major action of the game which ended 2-1.
