We love a locked-in defense - Ep. 45

Sofia Huerta *finally* leads the league in assists. Despite a defensive lapse that led to the Dash finding the back of the net, the Reign found a response via a Jordyn Huitema goal and took home a point from Houston. We get into the Reign’s recent road trip, a couple of other Reign segments, check in with results from the NWSL, and preview Seattle’s next match.

Assist record earns point in Houston - Ep. 44

It was all good until it wasn't. After being up 3-0 against Chicago the Reign decided to pull a Kingdome and implode by conceding 3 goals in the second half, resulting in a disappointing draw at home. With defensive struggles on full display we discuss this disappointing draw but also talk about the recent phenomenon of the Jordyn Huitema effect. Additionally we do Reign trivia, cover the other results around the league, and preview the Reign’s next match.
