ORLANDO, Fla. -- Clint Dempsey had his second-career MLS hat trick and the Seattle Sounders beat Orlando City 3-1 on Sunday night to end a three-game winless streak.

Dempsey put the Sounders (7-12-3) up 2-1 in the 37th minute, tapping a right footer from the top of the six-yard box into an open net. Christian Roldan lofted a pass from near midfield to Jordan Morris near the top of the box. Morris, as goalkeeper Joe Bendik charged, dropped a soft pass to Dempsey for the finish.

Seb Hines had Orlando City (5-6-11) in front at 1-0 lead in the seventh minute, but the lead wouldn't last.

Dempsey hammered home a cross from Tyrone Mears in the 14th to tie it, and capped the scoring -- on a goal nearly identical to his second of the game -- in the 48th minute.

Nicholas Lodeiro, who signed with the Sounders on July 27, and Morris each had two assists.

Orlando City had its three-game unbeaten streak snapped.
