In the waning minutes of Friday’s match against the Washington Spirit, OL Reign forward Megan Rapinoe charged upfield, beckoning for the ball from goalkeeper Claudia Dickey. She seemed poised to create late magic in front of a record crowd during the final regular season home match of her NWSL career.
Dickey didn’t pass to Rapinoe, but the veteran forward later stood over the ball for a set piece that amounted to the final play of the game. Rapinoe shipped the ball toward the area, but it never found the back of the net in a scoreless draw at Lumen Field in Seattle.
