The Steelheads and Narrows have actually met before. It was a match that Snohomish would rather forget, a comprehensive 4-0 Tacoma win at Goddard Stadium in Everett on June 10, 2018.

Common Opponent
The Steelheads and Narrows both hosted Tricities Alliance FC in non-league friendlies earlier in the month. Snohomish drew 0-0 with the Lions in Smokey Point. Tacoma went up 2-0 before giving up 3 second half goals in a 3-2 loss to the Lions.
Indoors
Over the winter Tacoma Narrows FC joined the Western Indoor Soccer League (WISL). They made the playoffs and along the way met up against some current Steelheads who were playing for the Snohomish Skyhawks. The Skyhawks swept the Narrows in their two WISL meetings.
