At some point, something has to break the Reign's way - but nothing went right for Seattle on Friday night. Unlike their early losses but like the previous week, it seemed to be a general malaise that sunk them.
Claudia Dickey set the Reign record for saves with the club and the back line worked overtime to make it happen, but the team lacked finishing in the final third as both Seattle and Denver walked away with a point.
The Reign seemingly took out their frustrations from their dreadful double-advantaged defeat in Portland last week, taking the Current to town in Spokane and showing what can happen when Seattle threads the needle between caution and aggression.
There are good games, bad games, dropped points, disappointments, unexpected victories, and missed opportunities in this beautiful game. For the Reign, however, playing up two and losing by two is a new one.
