Bay Schooled by Fishes

Laura Harvey sets another record. The Reign were able to put last week’s late collapse behind them, securing a 2-0 win over the San Diego Wave and making Laura Harvey the first NWSL coach to reach 100 wins with one club. We get into the result, what worked, what didn’t work, as well as reflect on how the team is looking at the halfway point of the season. We wrap up the show by going over other results from around the league and previewing the Reign’s next match.

Reign redemption - Ep. 69

After a month off for the men's World Cup, the Seattle Reign returned to NWSL action with a disappointing loss on the road to the North Carolina Courage. We get into the Reign result and what went wrong. We also get caught up on other NWSL results and news, including making our hopes and dreams known about where we would like to see Emma Sears land amidst the news of her trade request.

This episode is dedicated to Van Jr., one of the best cats there ever was.

Another discouraging result - Ep. 68

Reign sit below the playoff line heading into a month-long league break. The Reign suffered another wildly expected loss to the Washington Spirit last weekend. We dissect what all went wrong in a match that was hard on the eyes in more ways than one. With the Men's World Cup break upon us, we also talk about the new “Kids Free” program for the Reign, the upcoming USWNT matches, as well as other NWSL results and news.

Unspirited Away Part 3 - Ep. 67

The back of the net was finally found. The Reign turned their luck around after Van hired a witch – coincidence? Seattle faced Boston Legacy on Friday evening in the small state of Rhode Island, earning a much needed 3 points. We get into the win, including the team finally getting on the scoresheet, not just once but twice after an uncomfortably long goal drought. We also dive into other NWSL results and close out the show previewing the Reign’s next match.

Rhode win - Ep. 66

One day Seattle will score again, Friday was not that day. The Reign fell to Gotham 2-0 Friday night at Lumen Field.
