As OL Reign await who will be their opponent for the NWSL Playoffs semi-final, we’re bringing back a “get to know one of the new faces of the team” episode. Goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce joined the club this summer after starting her professional career at Stade de Reims, where she was instrumental in the club’s promotion to and staying in France’s top division, Division 1 Féminine.
