A crowd of over 3,500, led by the Royal Guard (as always) greeted the Seattle Reign as they began their fifth season. They opened the year against Sky Blue FC for the second year in a row.
The Reign entered the match without key, long term members of the spine of the team – Winters, Little and Solo. The club was hoping that a productive week off the pitch would translate into three points at home.
