Seattle Sounders Goalkeeper Preston Burpo made his 500th A-League save in Seattle's 2-1 Double-Overtime victory over Vancouver at Qwest Field on August 18, 2004. Only 3 other goalkeepers in league history have reached this milestone.

Ron Stickney got the official USL fax score sheet, and had Preston sign it to remember the event!
