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.
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.
The Reign opened the 2026 season with a full three points against a side that was just above Seattle in last year's table. In the end, it was both luck and skill that made the third time the charm in Orlando.
It was a massive three points for the Seattle Reign on Sunday evening, but it surely didn't come easy for a team battling with almost half the league for third place.
