So I decided to browse Twitter just now and apparently people are saying the WashSpirit/PennState game is tomorrow, not 3/17? When did that change happen?
That's really weird- preseason just starts today. I would think it'd be tough to put a team together on the first day. Apparently they don't want spectators as both websites still say the 17th and Spirit doesn't mention it. Who is tweeting the change?
@NWSLNews of all accounts - though I see they've retracted it by now. X-D ((I guess it didn't help that @WashSpirit had Tweeted "one day 'til preseason!" - I can see how several people (including myself) thought it meant a game.))
Oh I see what happened. I knew preseason team practice was about to start through a friend of my DD so I was able to read the tweets with that in mind. But if I didn't know that I may have read it the way you did.
It's March 30 ... see I didnt imagine it. http://www.kuathletics.com/sports/w-soccer/spec-rel/031113aaa.html

If anyone can find a game report of WNY - Canisius, (more game details, player performances, attendence, etc.) that'd be great. As of right now it seems the only reports were are repeats of WNY's tweeted scoring summary. I did find something that mentions full rosters: http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=4559074 ----- MARCH 3/15 - Western New York Flash 3-0 Canisius 3/16 - Seattle Reign @ INAC Kobe Leonessa (JPN) 3/16 - Sky Blue FC @ UMD (NCAA) 1:00PM 3/17 - Washington Spirit VS Penn State (NCAA) 4:00PM 3/19 - FC Kansas City @ Mizzou (NCAA) 3/20 - Seattle Reign @ Fukuoka (JPN) 3/23 - Western New York Flash VS Penn State (NCAA) 2:00PM 3/24 - Seattle Reign @ TBD (JPN) 3/24 - Washington Spirit VS Duke (NCAA) 3:00PM 3/24 - Chicago Red Stars @ Marquette 3/30 - Western New York Flash VS Ohio State (NCAA) 2:00PM 3/30 - Washington Spirit VS UNC (NCAA) 3:00PM 3/30 - FC Kansas City VS Kansas (NCAA) APRIL 4/3 - Washington Spirit @ UMD (NCAA) 7:00PM 4/6 - Washington Spirit VS UVA (NCAA) 7:30PM 4/7 - Western New York Flash VS UNC (NCAA) 12:00PM 4/7 - Chicago Reds Stars @ Northwestern (NCAA) 4/25 - Boston Breakers @ Boston U (NCAA) 5:00PM MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST To Be Determined Chicago Red Stars @ (TX NCAA) - preseason FC Kansas City VS Nebraska - preseason Seattle Reign FC - 12th home game
Recent post on Seattle's games (the third opponent has been announced apparently) and what roster they've taken: http://www.womenssoccerunited.com/group/nwsl/forum/topics/seattle-reign-fc-to-play-inac-kobe It's currently almost Sunday 3am local time there, so has ANYONE heard of the Reign-INAC score, considering it was supposed to happen Saturday? I can't find it anywhere.... =edit= Unrelated: NJ @ UMD postponed indefinitely http://www.umterps.com/sports/w-soccer/spec-rel/031213aaa.html Well $#*!^......
Seattle's roster for the INAC match (via Facebook): Apparently Seattle should be live Tweeting the match. https://twitter.com/SeattleReignFC Methinks they will get creamed with that roster unless the Lionesses are similarly not playing their NT players. Good midfield, but not much else...
The WPSL Elite Houston Aces have said they're playing a pre-season friendly against a NWSL team - not sure if it's home or away, or which team. (source)
Lost 2-0. And that's it: at FT it is 0-2 INAC. Disappointing result, but a solid performance against one of the world's best clubs.— Seattle Reign FC (@reignfc) March 17, 2013
Yeah, I was following the live Tweets (see timestamp of the post after the one you quoted).... Still doesn't explain why the match was apparently pushed back a day or when that decision was made. Oh well. Considering I was expecting the Reign to get creamed, especially after learning that Sawa would be playing for INAC while Fishlock, Noyola etc. weren't used, 0-2 is a relatively good result. Yeah, Chicago announced sometime last week that they would be going to TX for a game. ...Except that it was Austin, not Houston, mentioned in their announcement. Extension of the same trip, or is another NWSL team heading south? ----- MARCH 3/15 - Western New York Flash 3-0 Canisius 3/17 - Seattle Reign 0-2 INAC Kobe Leonessa (JPN) 3/17 - Washington Spirit VS Penn State (NCAA) 4:00PM 3/19 - FC Kansas City @ Mizzou (NCAA) 3/20 - Seattle Reign @ Fukuoka J Anclas (JPN) 3/23 - Western New York Flash VS Penn State (NCAA) 2:00PM 3/24 - Seattle Reign @ Nojima Stell Kanagama (JPN) 3/24 - Washington Spirit VS Duke (NCAA) 3:00PM 3/24 - Chicago Red Stars @ Marquette 3/30 - Western New York Flash VS Ohio State (NCAA) 2:00PM 3/30 - Washington Spirit VS UNC (NCAA) 3:00PM 3/30 - FC Kansas City VS Kansas (NCAA) APRIL 4/3 - Washington Spirit @ UMD (NCAA) 7:00PM 4/6 - Washington Spirit VS UVA (NCAA) 7:30PM 4/7 - Western New York Flash VS UNC (NCAA) 12:00PM 4/7 - Chicago Reds Stars @ Northwestern (NCAA) 4/25 - Boston Breakers @ Boston U (NCAA) 5:00PM MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST To Be Determined Chicago Red Stars @ ?

Well they are in Austin for a week so I'd assume it's an extension of that trip. And don't forget to add Chicago's game @ Notre Dame on April 3rd at 7pm.

Chris Henderson reporting that CHI has another (Illinois) preseason match, hosting Illinois State on 4/7. Still looking for news on their Texas trip.
Sky Blue just tweeted that later today (!) they're traveling to St. John's for a scrimmage at 4pm. @STJ_WSoccer apparently tweeted this info about a week ago, as did @SkyBlueFC on the 15th, but I guess we all missed it.
Seattle beat Fukuoka 3-1, goals from Laura Heyboer, Marissa Mykines and Liz Bogus. Fishlock and Zurrer got their first minutes with the team, and though Kyle showed up yesterday she didn't play.
