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.

We also cover the week’s other matches from around the NWSL and preview the Reign’s next match.

USWNT vs. Japan (x3) bonus - Ep. 61

7 out of 9 possible points ain't bad. The Reign concluded their three match home-stand in Spokane with a draw to expansion side Denver Summit. We discuss the strong performances from both goalkeepers and the lack of clinical finishing that ultimately left the game scoreless. We also cover results from around the league, the upcoming USWNT matches, and what we hope for with the teams return to Lumen Field at the end of the month.

So far, so good in Spokane - Ep. 59

*massive sigh* All was not well leading up to this match and all did not end well either. In this episode we discuss the Reign's loss in Portland and all the factors that played a part, as we hopefully forget about what transpired as quickly as possible.
