History is made on this episode of “Coffee & Valkyries,” as we had the incredible privilege to talk with OL Reign forward Nicole Momiki in her first English-language interview. Rounding out this episode, we look at OL Reign’s roster and NWSL Challenge Cup schedule, and discuss a Seattle male athlete’s initiative and his challenge to others to invest in and support local women’s sports.
The interview with Momiki begins around the 20:30 mark, and here’s what she recalls about her reaction last year when she found out OL Reign were interested in her:
