It was a record day for the ladies of Gotham as they were able to tie the club record for the longest unbeaten streak and also extending the unbeaten run in NWSL play to seven matches.
Some of the other fun facts and figures from the folks at the Gotham FC PR department include the fact that this is the sixth time in club history and third time under a team Coached by Juan Carlos Amorós that a club has this long of a run.
Those in attendance at Sports Illustrated Stadium got to be a part of a clinic when it came time to watching Gotham maintaining the possession of the soccer ball along with seeing some great overall defense by the ladies.
That defense held Seattle to one shot and that was a club record for fewest shots faced.
Another part of the milestone moments was the fact that Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger is now the seventh player in NWSL regular-season history to record 10 or more shutouts in a single season.

It was in the Second Hal of play that Gotham got themselves oh so close to gaining three points.
Overall, the team was able to see shots on target by Rose Lavelle, Jaedyn Shaw and Josefine Hasbo, but one has to tip the cap to Seattle though as anytime Gotham had themselves an opportunity it was the Reign Defense coming through with some big-time plays.
